RE: Exam 1 takehome/Parents’ weekend conflict. Will keep the same date, but will keep the take-home length reasonable (no more time than regular homework assignment), and will allow 2-day extension if needed.

First in-class quiz will be on Thursday. Closed book, closed notes.
HW 01 & Lab 01 due Thursday 11:59pm
- Blackboard doesn’t like html submissions. Zip files are fine for Lab 01, pdf will be best moving forward
