No two students should use the same published book.
(2.) Find your favorite good published book or any good published book.
Also, please avoid controversial/opinionated/subjective books such as history books and the like.
Preferably, find a mathematics textbook/eText. This is because mathematics textbooks are
typically not controversial.
The published book must have:
(a.) ISBN-10

Alternatively, you may use line spacing of 1.5 but insert a space after each equation as applicable.
Your work should be well-formatted, organized, well-spaced (not compact), and visually appealing.

(7.) Mr. C (SamDom For Peace) wants you to do this real-world project very well.
Hence, he highly recommends that you submit a draft so he can give you feedback.
(a.) First: (Required): Please submit a clear image of the section of the book/resource
that shows the ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 in the Projects: ISBNs page in the Canvas course.
The clear image should clearly show the ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 in the book.
I shall review and respond.
(b.) Second: (Highly Recommended): When your book/resource is approved, please submit your draft.
Draft projects are not graded because they are drafts. They are only for feedback.
If your professor gives you an opportunity to submit a draft, please use that opportunity.
Submitting drafts is highly recommended. Submitting drafts is not required.
It is highly recommended because I want to give you the opportunity to do your project very well and make an excellent
grade in it.
Please turn in your draft in the Discussions page → Projects: Drafts forum in the Canvas course
(if you would like your colleagues to read my comments and avoid any mistakes that you made).
You may also send it to me via email (if you do not want your colleagues to see my comments and learn from the
comments).
I shall review and provide feedback.
Then, review my feedback and make changes as necessary.
Keep working with me until I give you the green light to turn in your actual project. This must be done before
the final due date to turn in the actual project.
When everything is fine (after you make changes as applicable based on my feedback), please submit your
work in the appropriate area: Assignments page → ISBNs Project in the Canvas course.
Only the projects submitted in the appropriate place in the Canvas course are graded.
