Case 1 Individual/Team Assignment

Assignment Instructions

1. This assignment can be done individually or in teams of no more than two persons. Whether you work individually or as a team, I expect your answers to be your own

thoughts and written in your own words! (See ECU’s Academic Integrity Policy in your

Syllabus.) In addition, use ONLY the information from your textbook, chapter outlines,

and lectures when completing this assignment. DO NOT LOOK UP INFORMATION

ON THE INTERNET OR SOME OTHER EXTERNAL SOURCE UNLESS

OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED.

2. Save your file as a Word 2016 or more recent document (“.docx”). DO NOT SAVE YOUR FILE IN ANY OTHER FORMAT. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS

YOUR FILE AND THEREFORE WOULD HAVE TO GIVE YOU A GRADE OF

“0.”

3. If you are working on this assignment individually, save the file as “C1” and then your last name, first name initial, and middle initial. For example, my last name is “Jones,” my first

name initial is “C,” and my middle initial is “C.” Therefore, I would save my file as

“C1JonesCC.” If you are working on this assignment with another student, have one person

save the file as if they were working on the assignment individually. Then, at the top of

your file before any headings, put both of your names (see the Assignment Answer Format

section of these instructions). DO NOT LEAVE SPACES IN YOUR FILENAME

because it prevents me from properly archiving your file. Points will be deducted from

your assignment if you use an improper filename.

4. Type your answers according to the instructions in the Assignment Answer Format section below. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FORMAT YOUR PAPER AS SHOWN IN

THE “WRITING TOOLS” ITEM AT THE TOP OF THIS FOLDER. (Instructor’s

Note: Failure to follow the instructions or properly format your assignment can cost you a

significant number of points, including resulting in a zero on your paper.)

5. Proofread your paper before you submit it. VIEW THE FILES IN THE “WRITING TOOLS” ITEM AT THE TOP OF THIS FOLDER. (Instructor’s Note: Grammatical

errors in your assignment can cost you significant points, including resulting in a zero on

your paper.)

6. Save your file according to instructions 2 – 3 above, and submit it BEFORE the deadline as explained in instruction 6 below.

7. Submit your file by clicking on the Assignments/Cases Submissions Tab in the left frame in Blackboard. Then click on the “Case 1 Individual/Team Assignment” and scroll down

until you see the words “Attach File” and the “Browse My Computer” button. Click the

Browse My Computer Button and attach your file (DO NOT type your answer to this

assignment in the “Submission” text box). When you see that your file has been

properly attached, click the “Submit” button.
