Reminder to Check Homework Grades
Class,Just a friendly reminder to check your homework grades under the homework section (not the gradebook module). Please alert me to anything that looks wrong or is missing so that I can make fixes.
I have just added a Bonus Quiz section to the gradebook module. I gave everyone a full 10/10 who took it.

A note for tomorrow exam
As many of you asked.
For data mining part of the code, try to learn the concepts, their added values, and the proposed algorithms. We will not ask you to do a code or complicated mathematics. Don't worry.
Cheers
Hoda
