Chapter 1 Works Complete by Sunday, Jan 13. To complete chapter works means to work through the chapter by going through all the clicks and entries as directed by the chapter. By creating your back up file in the chapter, you have created a file for attaching to web ct email. However, you really do not need to do the back up steps as you go since your work is automatically saved to your hard drive. You will have to back up each time you are ready to submit your work to me.

Note: be sure you have included yourself as an employee before submitting your chapter 1 works to me.

Exercise 1-1Just do, send nothing...this shows you how you restore your prior work and lets you see the process I go through to grade what you send me. You will really never have to do this back up process to continue your work as all work is automatically saved to your hard drive.
