Please ask the instructor if you have question.

OS Change of cut-off date for exercise submission

We have changed the definition of the cut-off date for the exercise submission: It was

cut-off date is five weeks from the class, or one week before the final exam, whichever comes first

Now

cut-off date is five weeks from the class, or the end of the day before the final exam, whichever comes first

The final exam is planned on Feb 10 (subject to change). Therefore, Exercise 10 and after can only be submitted by the end of Feb 9.
