Tutorials (14-15)

There will be approx 14 tutorial pieces. Each Tutorial piece is in two parts-
1) doing the tutorials
2) doing your work based on the tutorials.
Your work is more important than the turorials (20% tutorials - 80%work done on the turorials )

Grades are given based on look, time spent on the project, technical ability, work being on time and attitude.
