     I should add that holding a degree doesn't matter too much in life. Don't be impressed by people with 25 full-stopped letters after their names. Hear the kinds of things they have to say and judge what comes out of the mouth. FYI, I have completed a Ph.D. program in a science discipline. Now does that really make a difference for you? I hope not.

2. Completely stopped.

     Each of those steps assures you the latitude to "tweak" any or all of the adjustment screws/knobs when it's finished. In other words, no single adjustment is "full-stopped" in either direction.
