Textbook Projects
SAM textbook projects are a subset of projects that encourage students to read their books. They may not be graded as rigorously or precisely as regular SAM projects and some steps covered in the books may not be graded. Textbook projects grade the chapter tutorial in the introductory-level chapters of Shelly Cashman, New Perspectives, and Illustrated textbooks, and help you verify that students are reading.

When a student submits a completed project file, it should have the same identifiers as the start file. If the identifiers do not match, it is logged as an incident.
