Essay file naming etiquette

Hi everyone,

May I make a suggestion for how you name the electronic files that you send me as your essays? Please do not just name your next email attachment “Essay6.pdf” because that does not tell me your name nor does it tell me anything about what course the essay was for. I prefer a filename of the form:-

pmu199y.e6.amanda.peet.pdf

The first part “pmu199y.” denotes the course. The second part “e6.” denotes which essay (in this case, the sixth). The third and fourth parts of the filename “amanda.peet” are the given and family names, respectively. If you prefer, you can separate the parts of the filename by underscores, like so:-

pmu199y_e6_amanda_peet.pdf

Or you can use minus signs, like so:-

pmu199y-e6-amanda-peet.pdf

Thanks in advance for indulging me on this.

Prof. Peet.  :-)
