HOMEWORK #1

In addition to the questions below, you may be spot checked at other intervals. If you have not completed all these steps, points can be deducted or you could receive a 0 on the Homework Assignment (for example if homework is said to have been completed but was not or was not your own). Homework is subject to academic integrity policies. If you have not completed all steps accurately, this will impact your future work so work slowly through the steps and if you do not see a button that is asked for or a piece of data, it is best to go back and start from the beginning of that exercise as you may have gone down the wrong SAP menu path (yes, this happens to me, too).

Correctly identify what question you are answering (or you can cut and paste the below questions into your homework). Make your responses as complete, but also as short, as possible. You must put your Name and SAP ID (GBXUS-XX) on ALL homework. This homework is due per the time specified on ELearning, to be submitted through the assignment functionality (or by eLearning email, regular email or fax if you experience problems, only). If you do not turn in homework by the time it is due, you receive a zero (0) on that assignment. There are no exceptions.
