Test your files once you have uploaded them and make certain the playback properly and with sound. Test them all the way through, it is your responsibility to make sure your projects work. Tomorrow is a work day, so make sure you complete this objective.

If you have any problem submitting a file to the class computer than, submit it on a DVD under my office door. If you have any questions please email me.
