+1. batch loading (i.e. running the INSERT command on more than one row at a time)
+1. and parallel loading.

+In this project, you will be using more data than in the last homework, but still only a small subset of the full twitter dataset.
+The data is located in the `data` folder.
+Familiarize yourself with the data by running the commands
+```

 ### Sequential Data Loading
 
+Notice that the test cases above for the sequential data loading are already passing.
+This section walks you through how to run the sequential data loading code.
+It is very similar to the code from the last homework assignment.
+The main difference is that I've also added the `load_tweets_batch.py` file for you which loads tweets in "batches" (instead of 1 at a time).

 Bring up a fresh version of your containers by running the commands:
 ```
 $ docker-compose down
 $ docker volume prune
-$ docker-compose up -d --build
+$ docker-compose up -d
 ```
 
 Run the following command to insert data into each of the containers sequentially.
