 In order for science to be valid, it has to be reproducible. 
 Luckily, this can be easier for computational biology experiments than in wet lab experiments. 
-
-Before you can work on a Treehouse computational project, you must demonstrate that you know how to perform reproducible experiments. 
-When you have completed the work described in this repo, please reach out to your mentor so you can proceed with your project.
+This training introduces you to a framework for making sure your future research is reproducible. 
 
 Throughout this training we will be working on the following:
 
 -   Using GitHub, RStudio, renv, and Quarto notebooks
 -   Building repositories, files, and pipelines
 -   Getting a hang of research computing workflows
--   Learning computational research skills in R including: data visualization, data transformation, and program iteration

+## Requirements for Treehouse computational researchers (at all levels)
+
+Before you can work on a Treehouse computational project, you must demonstrate that you know how to perform reproducible experiments. 
+
+When you have completed this work described in this repo, your mentor will confirm that you have done the following, and you can proceed with research. 
+
+- [ ] Created a repository under the GitHub UCSC-Treehouse organization level 
+- [ ] Created a quarto notebook, branch and pull request for every chapter
+- [ ] Run all the code examples, each in a separate chunk in the chapter's quarto notebook
+- [ ] Done all the exercises, documenting your work and writing out your answers to questions like "How is this plot different?" in the chapter's quarto notebook
+
+## Notes for non-Treehouse folks
+
+If you are not a Treehouse computational researcher, there will be two differences: 
+1) You will store your repository in your own GitHub account, and
+2) You can review your own pull requests or request review from someone you know with relevant knowledge.
