What I Want You to Do
Once you confirm that you meet all the requirements for the Recommendation Report by completing the Recommendation Report Checklist, 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 completing the checklist. Now it’s time to send your work on to me so I can respond.
