The Task
What I Want You to Do
Now that you have confirmed that you meet all the requirements for the Description Project by completing the Technical Description Checklist, you need to upload your finished project.
Why I Want You to Do It
In the workplace, you send your work out after you confirm that it meets all of the requirements. At that point, your client, manager, or other stakeholders examine the work and let you know if it fits their needs. We are following the same structure now. You confirmed your work met the requirements by earning full points on the checklist. Now it’s time to send your work on to me so I can respond.
How You Do It
- Review the Assignment Submissions (Students) documentation from Canvas if you need instructions. For this assignment, you can submit any of the following:
- File Upload: upload your project and anything else you want me to see for the project.
- Website URL: paste in a link to your project on a site such as Google Drive or YouTube.
- Media: add a video project from your My Media files on Canvas (which includes Zoom and Kaltura files).
- Submit your Final Description Project:
- Submit your project here by 11:59 PM on Friday, April 2.
- If you need more time, submit your project by 11:59 PM on Monday, April 5.
Obtaining the Points for Your Work
- You received the points for your work when you submitted the Technical Description Checklist.
- Traci will review your work:
- If she finds that it does not meet the requirements for the project, she will adjust the points on your checklist and ask you to resubmit once you revise.
- If she finds that you did not submit your project, she will adjust the points and ask you to submit it.
- Otherwise, she will give you feedback. Your points will not change.
