Look at the Level-4 sample assignment as a four-course menu: Abstract = Soup, Structures & Models = Salad, Portfolio Creation = Entree, and Portfolio Peer Review = Dessert. Start with Soup-only or with Soup & Salad. Or go directly for the entree, skip soup and salad, go for the beef, and make the menu more sophisticated later. How about it? Aren't you getting hungry?
