1. You are required to submit the project under the assignment links located in the Data Projects folder on the Course Menu. Also, please submit them as Microsoft Word and or documents (See Helpful resources in Data Projects for “Free Software” Micr0s0ft Office 365) as noted in the specific date project instructions. If you experience problems with attachments, let me know.
2. Please follow the proper format to include writing the questions, including tables (if applicable), and answering the questions.
3. Answer the questions completely, and use citations from the chapters of the text to support your work, your analysis of the case, and your experience/judgment. If a question has more than one part, ensure you answer all of it. A response should be multiple complete sentences.
4. Be sure to include at least one text citation in MLA format from the course textbook chapters to justify your opinion in response to the questions. You are welcome to include more than one. If you are unsure how to cite, please visit the helpful links below.
5. While this is not an English course, grammar/spelling/punctuation/etc. are important. Write in complete sentences and proofread your work. In the business/professional world, you are often judged by your correct use of the English language. Therefore, I take this into consideration when scoring your case studies. In that regard, don’t let your computer proofread for you. It will let you get away with “rout” when you mean “route”, “to” when you mean “too”, “manger” when you mean “manager”, etc. Be sure to capitalize “I” when referencing yourself.
6. Please ensure that you meet all assignment requirements as noted on the example “Rubric” under Data Projects.
7. My goal is to have projects evaluated and grades posted on Blackboard within a week after the due date.
8. This assignment is being checked by SafeAssign, a tool used to prevent plagiarism. All students are required and expected to maintain the highest standards of scholastic honesty in the preparation of all coursework and during examinations. More information can be found at .
