Example Submission

. I have removed the title page and grading rubric, but you will want to include those in your submission. This example received an A grade, but keep in mind that it was not perfect. You should work to hit the elements of the rubric, cover the content you need to cover, add appropriate section headers, and keep the writing to one page.
