Statement instead of a cover letter. Email me, and I will be happy
to tell you the differences between the two.

To avoid a point penalty, verify your submission. Do not rely solely on bblearn’s confirmation that your
work submitted. You need to check that your work submitted correctly. This means you need to go back
to the drop box after submitting your work and 1) open your document files, and 2) check that the URL
will work by cutting and pasting what you submitted into a browser.
