Hi all,

Some of you have asked about the course policy for cases where you have to miss an in-class quiz for an important reason. The policy is listed below and is also available on the course main page now.

"If you have to miss a class with a quiz for an important reason, inform the TAs at least two days before the class. Include the reason. The TAs will work out an alternative arrangement with you. If you do not inform the TAs two days in advance, you will not get any points for that project stage. If you fall sick on the day of a quiz unexpectedly, contact the TAs after you recover and produce a doctor's note to work out an alternative arrangement."

In particular, if you will miss the class this coming Monday (1st quiz), inform the TAs at the latest by tomorrow (26.04). Include the reason for missing the class.

Hi everyone,

Since some students were confused about the due date for Lab 1, we have decided to make the due date for Lab 1 Saturday April 26 23:59, with No Slip Days Allowed. This means that you can submit Lab 1 until April 26 without being deducted any slip days. Note, that you cannot take any additional Slip Days for this lab. So, everybody has the full 10 slip days for Lab 2 - 8.

In the future, all labs will be due on Wednesdays. You can find the schedule for the semester here: Project Schedule. The submission will be open until Saturday to account for the Slip Days. The quizzes for the Labs will take place on Monday following the Labs.

If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to contact the TAs.
