Feel free to read as much of it as you want, but it's quite long.
I will point out sections that may be useful on each project.

If you write your code to defeat the test cases but not to work in general (e.g. hard-coding the outputs that the tests expect), I will not give credit for passing those tests.
For the browser-side projects without tests, I will try using your project and check that it implements the functionality outlined in the project spec.
