When completed, a team member **must upload the completed paper and presentation into LMS** for your Group (into your group’s assignment tool workspace). As always, your grade will be diminished significantly if artifacts are not provided to me when they are due in LMS.
 * __ Each chapter should be roughly three (3) but no more than four (4) double-spaced pages __**
