//If you are asked to complete a project or assignment, and I state that you may be creative with your final product, you may use any of the following to complete the work. Please note that these are only options. Some will be more appropriate than others for any given assignment. If you are unable to meet all requirements because the tool does not allow for it, select another application. Organize all work and outline a schedule for completion to meet the deadlines. It is your responsibility to get the work done correctly and on time. Remember your audience as you complete all tasks!//
