Given that you are reading this book, you are probably a college student working on a degree. Think about completing college as a project a big project lasting many years and costing more than you might want to admit. Some students do a better job managing their college completion projects than others. Many fail entirely (certainly not you), and most complete college late and way over budget (again, certainly not you).
As with any other project, to be successful, you need to follow some sort of “college education completion” methodology that is, a comprehensive set of guidelines for completing activities and tasks from the beginning of planning for college through to the successful completion.

5. What are some of the tools you might use to help you complete the models?
