Individual SBE 100 Assignment

• Go to https://sbe100.commons.gc.cuny.edu/
• Find the assignment guidelines under the top tab that says ‘Course Project’.  Each assignment has been created as a separate page, so there will be no confusion
• Read and complete the assignment as a Word document and save in your computer.
• Create a page for the assignment on your Blog. When you login to your WordPress blog, it gives you the option of adding new pages. First create a page for the overall ‘Course Project’ Assignment. Here is an excellent video link that show you how to do this.  Then create a new sub-page for each assignment. Here is a video link on how to create a sub-page.   Each of these individual assignments should have the Course Project as its parent page.   I will give you feedback on your assignments on your blog — so please allow comments on your page.
• Paste your assignment once you have it typed it up on your computer on your blog in the page that you have created for this purpose. [Each of your individual assignments will be a new page on your blog following the same order as the sequence of the course project]

Writing Guidelines

Even though a personal blog is less formal than a company blog, but it is something that you want to share with your teachers, family and friends.  I would recommend that you write on a Word Document — correct any grammatical mistakes — and then paste it on your blog.  Writing for a blog is not like texting – so write your assignments in a conversational tone but follow good business writing rules:

– have sections for each question

– bold your section titles

– add your references

– check your grammar
