2021 Fall Coursework Archiving
In General:
Don’t over archive - check with your instructor as to actual archiving requirements. In general, archive final submissions for all projects but not process work.
Avoid oversizing - use reasonable file size and image resolution limits - see section 1 below
Simplify file naming - use a subfolder & file name strategy as per your course instructor
