\noindent {\em The steps of (each) miniproject are for your guidance; if
you wish 
to take an alternative route to the desired goal, you are free to do so.
But, if 
you follow the suggested route and find yourself unable to carry out any
particular 
step, you may simply assume it so that you can continue with the
miniproject, 
but should make this assumption clear in your presentation.}
