 *Start digging into your project by:
-** Reading the Wiki page for that project entirely!
+** Reading the Wiki page for that project '''entirely'''; literally every word on the Wiki page!
 ** Reading the "Documentation" section of the project, demo/presentation videos, and/or the Read Me files associated with the GIT repositories for your project (if applicable)
 ** Hit [https://wpi.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?vid=01WPI_INST:Default the library]!! Acclimate yourself to the subject area (especially if this is new to you!) by looking at [[Book_Resources|list of books]] currently being held at the Gordon library, tutorials available online, or other books on the subject. It is absolutely 100% undeniably, irrevocably (ecumenically?!) worth it to take some time and read some guides and info about the subject matter at the start of the term prior to building anything! Structure this into your project timeline!
 ** Start to develop a project timeline
-*** Budget in time to catch up on a proper review of the literature
+*** Budget in time to catch up on a proper review of the literature and for items to be shipped to you/the lab (if applicable)
 * Meet a few times a week each and every week (including the first week of the term) to discuss the division of labor of tasks, otherwise work independently and work hard. I'm expecting about 15 - 17 hours of work each week for each team member.
 ** If you can work independently most days and then come together to discus strategies only once or twice a week, that's fine! You'll meet with me as a team weekly, so you should absolutely meet together at the start of the week and, ideally, also near the end of the week.
