PROJECT 5 DELIVERABLES DUE: [Wednesday, December 18]. Submit your work as
follows to the submissions drop box located at the bottom of the project page:
• Deliverable 1: Cover Letter with Resume or CV. Submit a Word or PDF. You may submit
one file or two. If one file, separate the letter from the resume or CV with a page break.
If two, upload letter first and then the Resume or CV.
• Deliverable 2: E-Portfolio. Submit the URL to your E-Portfolio at the top of your resume
or in the comment area of the submissions drop box.
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.
NOTE: You MUST make sure your deliverables are accessible. If I cannot access them, the
deliverables will be awarded a “zero.” As I will be grading these in finals week, it is too
difficult to allow room for make-ups/resubmitting under ANY circumstance.
