2. Pages must be in order according to the table of contents.If not, this will be -10 points.

3. Pages must all be present in the notebook. If not, this will be -10 points for EACH missing page.

4. Pages must be secured in the notebook. In other words, no pages that are falling out or just stuck into the notebook. If pages are unsecured, this will be -5 points.
