Not putting the phone away will result in it being taken away & loss of points. PROJECTS/WRITE-UPS There is a mini project or write-up to accompany each chapter (be prepared to make sure you stay on task) There are a few projects that require the help of family members, please support their research in this regard. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know ahead of time
