The policy is 10% off of the grade for this segment of the
project. Since this segment is worth 8% of your final grade, you will
be losing a potential 0.8% of your final class grade. This is probably
better than turning in something that doesn't work, both for your
grades and your sense of accomplishment.

Okay. A good lesson to learn, and it'll be true for the next two
segments as well.

My real concern is that this doesn't cause you guys to slip behind in
the next segment as well, so finishing with enough time to relax a
little and absorb the material for the next segment is important. Keep
me informed as to when you'll have it done.
