HW 5
12/02/12 10:48 AM
My apologies for not having changed the deadline for the HW. I only returned last night and did not have time to look into this.
The new deadline is Thursday.

If no one has a problem with this, since the exam is only on the 14, we can give you even some more time. We could move the deadline to Monday the 10th.

In summary, the current deadline is Thursday. If you have a problem with me moving it to the 10 let me know until the next lecture. If I don't hear from anyone, the deadline will be moved to next Monday.
