Submission Instructions
You must adhere to the guidelines stated in the course outline which are as follows:
The individual assignments are submitted on Blackboard, marked electronically and will be
returned to students on Blackboard. Make sure to follow the instructions below in order for
your case assignment to be submitted correctly. All assignments that are not submitted
according to these instructions will not be marked:
1. Look for the link to submit the assignment on Blackboard under “Individual
Assignments” (Note you must first click on the Individual Assignment folder
then click on the Individual Assignment link to get to the screen to submit your
assignment). 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.
