Thing 16

The Assignment Calculator is fine for University Students. The Project Calculator is awesome for everyone else, and I have used it several times since last year, working with students and staff. I did not realize that there is additional teacher info as a choice. This is a great addition, and I will promote this to my staff immediately.
I think this calculator is most helpful if students are taught how to use it. I also think it's helpful for parents or tutors to help students with their research.
"Five" seems to be the right number for the tasks and this calculator makes all projects seem a little easier when there's a structured system of steps. The only thing missing is a simple one-two page printout of the steps with a brief description.
