Each of these projects will last for about 1/3 of the course. This page is here to provide you with overall expectations, requirements and guidelines for these projects to help direct you through this course.
This is an independent project that you will complete as you do your personal assignments for lessons 1-4 in this course.

This is a team project that you will complete as you do your team assignments for lessons 9-13 in this course. Because of the scope of this project, you will not have any personal assignments for the duration of it so that you can focus all of your time on this team project.
