| Dec. 7 | *** IMPORTANT *** Because of a mistake, HW10 grades for
many students had not been entered by the grader in the spreadsheet before being handed
back to you. If you have no HW10 grade on Canvas and should have one, please bring your assignment
ASAP to Prof. Avery or Hirschfeld and we will fix it. Final grades have to be entered soon
so please do this Monday or Tuesday of this week. HW11 solution was posted today. Final HITT grades are posted. |
