Assignment Tasks:
*Note that the data below are taken from the face-to-face (as opposed to the online) program. As an online student, you have access to all assessments right at the start of the course, so there is no “week assigned” for your assessments. Because of this, you will use the information below for this assignment just for the purpose of going through the steps required to make a Gantt Chart.
