Textbook ProjectsSAM 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.
