Since we are using large amounts of memory for these assignments, it is crucial that you save often and use numerous back-ups. Keep final versions of all assignments for your final portfolio. Also keep all copies of written assignments, especially your project explanations because they will also be used in your final portfolio. Help each other problem solve and answer questions. Other students are your best resources in the classroom.
