 So the answer to Question 3 is that, compared with the assignment, the
 project is going to be evaluated according to:
-"The degree of sophistication of the laboratory experiments in the

 So in general, one would expect that, compared with the assignment, the
 project should:
-. demonstrate a " degree of sophistication of the laboratory experiments in the tutorial/manual;"
+. demonstrate a much higher "degree of sophistication of the laboratory experiments in the tutorial/manual;"
-. teach to a sophisticated degree, "how to exploit the
+. demonstrate "relevance to understanding various aspects of the Linux kernel."
-capabilities of the QNX Neutrino RTOS (Neutrino RTOS) on the selected host
-and board."
