  • As Dan mentioned in lecture: if you have not done so already, you should make an appointment with one of the AIs to demo your Assignment 9. The demo is a required part of the assignment. We suggest emailing all of the AIs so that you have the best chance of finding someone who is available to meet with you. You should make the appointment for sometime in the next two weeks (that is, before Thanksgiving break). (This also implies that if you haven't completed Assignment 9 yet for some reason, you should make every effort to finish it before Thanksgiving break so that you can do your demo by the deadline!) — Lindsey Kuper 2009/11/10 13:22
  • Adam's office hours are canceled for Monday, November 9 due to illness. — Adam Foltzer 2009/11/09 09:36

So, we will continue to accept Assignment 4 with no lateness penalty until 11:59:59 tonight. I have updated the assignment deadline in Vincent so that you may submit Assignment 4 tonight without it being counted late. — Lindsey Kuper 2009/09/29 18:20
