- | For the time log, you must document the time you spent (on a daily basis). **If you do not document your time, it will not count.** In other words, it is not acceptable to claim that you spent 40 hours on your project, without a time log to back it up. I will not accept any excuses about this requirement. | + | For the time log, you must document the time you spent (on a daily basis) along with a simple description of your activities during that time. **If you do not document your time, it will not count.** In other words, it is not acceptable to claim that you spent 35 hours on your project, without a time log to back it up. I will not accept any excuses about this requirement. |
