Assignment 5: Final (Group) Project: Due Thursday, December 7 at 5:30 p.m.
Here are the assignment instructions. Groups MUST be 3-4 members. You may not do this assignment on your own or in smaller groups than 3.
When your assignment is complete, you’re going to email ALL files ((1) the slide deck, (2) your data set, and (3) your infographic)) with the subject ““MIS0855: Assignment 5” to me at MIS0855.h6xo7208v2mgk0g6@u.box.com from your Temple email account. If your upload is successful, you’ll receive a confirmation receipt via email from the Temple OwlBox system. SAVE THIS RECEIPT! It is your proof that your submission was submitted, the name of the document, and the time/date of submission.
If you don’t receive a confirmation email, it likely means your submission was not successful. Try again, and contact me if you’re having recurrent issues.
The assignment is due December 7, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. We’ll do the presentations throughout the December 7 class session until all groups have presented.
