If you cannot see the link, email the instructor immediately. 2. Upload your assignment using the “attach file” function. All files must be a file that can be opened using Microsoft Word (i.e. a .doc or .docx file not a pdf file or any other type of word file) and must not include any electronic errors. If you are unsure about the file, you may also copy and paste the case assignment in the Visual Editor to ensure that it can be marked (note that all formatting will be lost). Any files that are submitted that cannot be read will be considered late and will not be accepted (as per the policy and procedure below). It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the file uploaded can be opened and is the correct file. 3. When submitting your case assignment, make sure to click “submit” and not “save as draft”. If you save your assignment instead of submitting it, the assignment will not be electronically forwarded and it will be considered late. Once you have submitted your assignment, it cannot be changed so make sure to only submit your assignment once it is complete. It is recommended that you take a screen shot of the assignment submission for use if there are any technical difficulties. 4. Do not leave your submission until the last minute. Blackboard service can be interrupted and inability to access Blackboard is not a valid excuse for submitting a late assignment. 5. The link will disappear after the assignment is due. Your case assignment is now considered late.
