Assignment 9 -- Word/Resume -- Grading Criteria

1. 42 points maximum
   1. The assignment was graded by opening each student merge document (cg3xzz-9-merge) in Word and looking for the following features.
   2. If there was no merge document (cg3xzz-9-merge), we looked for the both document (cg3xzz-9-both), and data document (cg3xzz-9-data) and main document (cg3xzz-9) that should contain the resume and cover letter.
   3. The graders may take up to 4 points away if some thing looks broken in some major way.
2. Resume Portion (19 points)
