• Solutions must be complete.
o If you’re asked to create four types of diagrams to meet a requirement, make sure you create enough (4+) diagrams to fulfill the

requirement.

• Project parts must be submitted to Blackboard by the due date. Late project parts received via email less than 12 hours after the

due date will be graded for half credit. Papers received the day following the due date will be graded for one-quarter of the credit.
