You may re-submit a Deliverable if your professor offers the opportunity in the feedback.

Grading:

The Final Project is worth 100 raw points (33, 33 and 34 points respectively for each of the three Deliverables). However, as with other course work the project is weighted. The project is weighted at 30%, which means it is worth 30% of your final grade. Remember Spelling, Grammar and the proper construction of the paper count as much as adequately addressing the research questions!
