-- remember that a house can't be built without a plan and a foundation

-- above ALL, be clear!

-- don't forget to clean up and polish at the very end

3. When discussing in class ...

-- be kind to your classmates by using SLANTS

4. Whatever is happening, remember ...

-- don't judge

--be patient
