None of this is required as I'll explain everything in the course. Still, if you help them with these things, it would significantly improve their learning experience.

• Complete the "Setup Wizard" on their phone

  • If a phone is brand new or factory reset, then after the first time you turn it on, it will ask a few questions (EULA, WiFi password, Google login, etc. **).

  • Watch the "The setup wizard" Lecture* in the second section if you need help with that.

  • This course teaches them how to do it, but this would help them a lot. (**: Because these are concepts they'll learn at the end of this course, but this happens at the very beginning.)

  • This app contains hands-on exercises covered in the course. (E.g., touch, scroll, keyboard, share, etc. exercises)

  • Watch the "Installing the companion app" lecture* in the fourth section if you need help with this.
