2.131 dynamic analyzer available for nugget through Friday
Hi 2.131,The dynamic analyzer is available in the back corner of the mezzanine (go up the stairs at the entrance of the lab, and look in the back corner of the room.) The nugget instructions are taped to it.
I will leave it there through Monday, but remember that there's a hard cutoff for all assignments Monday at noon.
Please let Randall or I know if we can be of any help finishing up last nugget assignments.
