Exploration 3 Grades

Hi guys,

Your exploration 3 turnins should be graded, and you should have a feedback.txt file in your svn repository with comments.

We have revised the grading standard for the Delete functionality slightly. If your feedback file reports that you were marked off points for the case where deleting a photo from a child album does not remove it from the parent album, please email me at ctsims@mit.edu and I will update your grade and feedback.

Additionally, the HKN Course Evaluation deadline has been extended until Sunday, so if you didn't have a chance to fill out the evaluation for the course yet, please do so at http://sixweb.mit.edu/. 6.005 is still a relatively young course, and any feedback has a huge impact on improving the course each term.
