+## CSE 332 Project 1: Spell Checker ##
+The purposes of this project are
+*   to review Java, 
+*   to implement various "WorkList" data structures, 
+*   to demonstrate a useful abstraction, and 
+*   to compare efficiencies of recursion and iteration.

+### README ###
+This document provides a **short** overview of what you will complete in this project.  The full specification can be found on the course website.
+
+
+### Checkpoints ###
+**Checkpoint 1:**  By Tuesday, October 06, you should have completed: (1), (2), (3)<br>
+**P1 Due Date:&nbsp;**  By Monday, October 12, you should have completed: (4), (5), (6), (7)
+
+

+
+### Part 1: Implementing Simple WorkLists ###
+In this part, you will write two simple implementations of the `WorkList` ADT.
+
+**(1) Implement `ArrayStack`.**<br> `ArrayStack` is a `WorkList` implementation that stores the work in LIFO order and uses an `Array` as the underlying data structure.
+
+**(2) Implement `ListFIFOQueue`.**<br> `ListFIFOQueue` is a `WorkList` implementation that stores the work in FIFO order and uses a `LinkedList` as the underlying data structure.
+
+### Part 2: Implementing Advanced WorkLists ###
+In this part, you will implement two more `WorkList`s.
+
+**(3) Implement `RandomizedQueue`.**<br> `RandomizedQueue` is a `WorkList` implementation that stores the work in a random order.  `RandomizedQueue` is a fixed size buffer.
+
+**(4) Implement `StackQueue`.**<br> `StackQueue` is a `WorkList` implementation that stores the work in FIFO order and uses two `ArrayStack`s as the underlying data structures.
+
+### Part 3: Using Your WorkLists ###
+In this part, you will implement several backtracking algorithms using a 
+generalized framework. The framework uses `WorkList`s instead of recursion.
+
+**(5) Subset Sum.**<br> You will familiarize yourself with the "subset sum" 
+problem, read a solution to it that does not use the backtracking framework, 
+and write a solution to it that does use the framework.
+
+**(6) Subset Sum.**<br> You will familiarize yourself with the "edit distance" problem and write a solution to it that uses the framework.
+
+
+Part 4: Write-Up
+**(7) Write-Up.**<br> Fill out answers to the questions in `writeup/WriteUp.md`.
+A large portion of your grade is filling out answers to the questions in this 
+write-up. Make sure to fill it out!
