PROJECT 1 DELIVERABLES DUE 11:59 p.m.Sunday, September 15. Submit your work as
follows to the submissions drop box located at the bottom of the project page:
 Self-Evaluation: Compose in Microsoft Word and cut and paste into the
assignment submission box (for instructions, see “How to Write a Self-Evaluation”
in the submissions drop box).
 Deliverable: Memo Report, submitted as a Word or PDF file.
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 open
your document files. If one or more files didn’t submit correctly, upload them again - I will
grade only the last submission.
