Turning in the project:The project may either be e-mailed to me or turned in on a thumb drive. Printed presentations will not be accepted. Computer problems, printing issues, or the project not arriving on time via e-mail are NOT excuses that will be accepted for projects being turned in late. ALL LATE PROJECTS WILL BE DOCKED 100 POINTS…NO EXCEPTIONS. NO PROJECTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE TURNED IN AFTER APRIL 1st. My suggestion for you is toplan ahead, manage your time wisely, and finish early. Also, be sure to pick your partner wisely. You and your partner’s project will be combined into 1 project in the end so make sure your partner completes their portion on time and doesn’t sabotage your grade.

On a final note. Part of your grade will be based upon my perception of your work ethic in the computer lab during class. Stay on task and you will not lose points in that area towards your project.
