    clearly specifying the input & output requirements; 
    Conceptualize an algorithm, appropriate classes, and data structures
    needed - indicate these on your written design draft;
    Provide sample cases and trace through them;
    Be sure your DESIGN is complete
  -Come to your next LAB PREPARED ... with WRITTEN DESIGN IN HAND 
   (you may be asked to produce it before receiving individual help)
