PROJECT 4 DELIVERABLES DUE 11:59 p.m. Sunday, 11/24. Submit your work to the
project 4 submission drop box as follows:
 Self-Evaluation (how you think you did on the project; what challenges you had):
write directly in the submission box.
 Deliverable 1: Research/profile and teaser.
 Deliverable 2: Group evaluation.
To avoid a point penalty, verify your submission. Do not rely solely on BbLearn’s
confirmation that your work submitted. You need to check that your work submitted
correctly.
This means you need to go back to the drop box after submitting your work and 1) open
your document files, and 2) check that the URL you submitted will work by cutting and
pasting it into a browser. If one or more files didn’t submit correctly, upload all of them
again because I grade only the last submission.
