• ALWAYS save your projects like this:
LASTNAME-FIRSTNAME-PROJECTNAME
• DO NOT name your project any other way - Improperly named projects will not receive credit and you will be sad.
• NEVER leave your work on the desktop or depend on a flash drive - instead, save your work in a folder you can find later - preferably on a virtual drive where it can be backed up.
