As stated in the syllabus present your assignment in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font attached to the forum in the discussion tab of the blackboard titled “Week 5 essay” and the SafeAssign exercise in the assignment tab of the blackboard.   If you don’t post your assignment in any of the required forums you will not get the points.  A minimum of 3 evidence-based references besides the class textbook no older than 5 years must be used.  You must post two replies to any of your peers sustained with the proper references no older than 5 years as well and make sure the references are properly quoted in your assignment.  A minimum of 800 words is required.  Please make sure to follow the instructions as given and use either spell-check or Grammarly before you post your assignment.

Please check your assignment after the week is due because I either made comments or ask for clarification in some statements.  

As you can see, I’m giving you an extra today days to present the assignment this due to the complexity of the assignment and must reflect what is happing worldwide.
