Developing the rule book could technically start at the same time as the case was drafted,

whereas writing the draft, testing, and updating the case would have to be done in sequential

order. Clearly, both the rule book and updating of the case would have to be completed before

they could be sent to printing

and the

Regarding class visits, the faculty member working

While social media content and the

completed in order to be able to answer any student questions about details, such as how their

contribution would be judged, what support materials they could use, and so on.

Brown also suggested booking a photographer to capture
