Your task is to complete as many missions as you can correctly by the end of class.  Start basic and if you complete all the missions, then start over on advanced.  At the end of each mission, take a snapshot of the screen, past in Word and save in dropbox at the end of class. Hit the Ctrl and Print Screen buttons at the same time.  This takes a snapshot.  Then go to Word and hit Ctrl-V
