Regarding PSet 8
As it is against the rules to have problem sets due after Dec. 5th, the teaching staff have decided to make PSet 8 optional. If you want to work on this PSet, please turn it in to your TA any time at or before 9:00 am next Monday. The TAs will grade it and if the score helps to raise your average in the end, we will factor in the score. If it does not help, we will not count this PSet in your final grade Thanks.
