Here is the plan for project discussions:
- You hand in the proposals by tomorrow night (we'll keep this deadline unless the power goes out)
- We will have project discussions on Friday Nov 2, instead of recitations
- We (the staff) will divide the proposals into groups and post doodle polls on Oct 31 so each group can sign up for a meeting time
- The purpose of the discussion is for us to give you feedback on your proposals, particularly about the scope

If two people are working together on the homework assignment, please make sure that both of you are listed as authors on the submission. More specifically, when you click on "New Submission", you must enter information for each person working on the assignment in the Authors section. This will include the (*) information for both Author 1 and Author 2. It is a good idea to check the "Corresponding author" box for both of you as well. If this information is not entered correctly, credit for the homework will not be given correctly and reviews cannot be distributed correctly. If you have other questions, let us know.

Our room assignments were changed for recitations. Here is the new schedule:

12:00 Room 6-120 R1
1:00 Room 6-120 R2
1:00 Rom 3-442 R1 Note: this is a smaller room
2:00 Room 3-442 R2 Note: this is a smaller room
2:00 Room 34-101 R1
3:00 Room 34-101 R2

As it says in the syllabus, R1 sessions will focus on easier examples related to the current week's work, and R2 sessions will focus on harder exercises from the previous week. This week, R2 will just be a somewhat more difficult set of problems than R2, related to background and today's lecture.


You may attend as many recitation sessions of any kind as you wish. But, unfortunately, our large room was taken back by the schedules office, so room 3-442 is smaller than the others. If you have a choice between recitation times that fit into your schedule, I would ask that you avoid the ones in 3-442. But, if that's the only way things work out for you, don't hesitate to go. It holds 50 students.
