Assignment Relationships
It might be useful for you to consider the relationships of all the assignments for the semester as existing in a matrix. Think of the final assignment as being the target for which you are aiming: the bull's eye. Three is contained in two; two is contained in one. Thus, to understand thoroughly an assignment, you will need to master the preceding assignment: you cannot get to three without first mastering all the steps in the preceding two assignments.
In short, this course builds from day one through to the final
day. Every assignment is preparing you to undertake slightly more
ambitious procedures in the assignment that follows. For this
reason, all three assignments must be completed in their proper
order for you to pass the course.
