1. There will be no office hours on Tuesday, October 2. Normal office hours will resume on Tuesday, October 9. - Hanan Samet

2. I am aware that some of you have not finished the project. As I mentioned a number of times in class, my goal is for you to complete the project. Thus you need to get it working. I will accept late projects with a penalty of a "number of points per class meeting day of lateness". Please do not try to figure out if its worth it. If you are on the borderline in your final grade, then I will take the late penalty into account in your favor. Good luck on the project as remember that you must have insert and delete working in order to complete part 4 of the project. - Hanan Samet

3. Note that the office hours of the TA do not change.
