You will not even have to post when you are finished. The docs are time stamped. If your family gets both of these done by the end of your period 30 Bonus points! Notice I raised the bonus opportunity!

If a group member is absent, get the word to them. If they have their section done before 7:00 a.m. Monday I will still give the bonus points. You have enough resources to communicate to your entire family (present or not) to get this done. If you have questions post them as a comment to the blog post.

I will not give ANY bonus points if everyone in your group does not sign out their laptop! Notice the sign out sheet is linked in the left column of this page.
