  • 19 May 09: Homework 3 is officially due on Friday. Because of the long weekend, we will accept electronic submissions or hard-copies (dropped in a box placed outside Prof. Balazinska's office) through Monday, May 25th at 12:30pm without late-day penalty BUT we will NOT accept any submissions after this date.
