EXTENSION: Project due Tu. 12/8 @ 5pm

Dear Class,

We thought that you might use some extra hours for running the last sims or writing the last paragraphs without rushing to the last minute. So we have decided to extend the deadline until 5pm tomorrow.

On the other hand, don't forget that tomorrow we have our last lecture and I expect you to be there.

See you tomorrow,
Alfredo
