In case any of the rest of you are concerned, I am forwarding my answer
to everyone in our class.

The short answer is: you can submit to Canvas as many times as you want.
It will not affect your grade.  If you submit your files on Canvas multiple 
times, then you will see a "-1", "-2", etc. added to the file names in order
to keep track of the different versions.  BUT, importantly, it is not 
something to worry about.

Good luck getting the lab in by Sunday midnight, and good luck on the midterm
next Wednesday.
