My students,

A couple of things:

1. Thing 1: According to the Course Outline, programming lab 4 is due
next Wednesday night.  I set that deadline (just before Thanksgiving)
because I wanted you to complete the program before Thanksgiving.  The
lab asks you to write a game program, and I wanted those of you who go
home for Thanksgiving to be able to show your family the game and to play
the game with them.  ...and enjoy their reaction!  But, upon a little more 
reflection, I realize that many of you will need more than a week to get 
it to work.  So, I am extending the deadline to Sunday night, November 28 
at midnight.  If you get the program working correctly by next Wednesday 
night, you will get an extra 10 point bonus to your grade.

I am told by students who have done the game program in the past that it is
much easier than Lab 3.  I hope you also find that the case.  Good luck.

2. Thing 2: Professor McDermott is teaching a special course this Spring
and has asked the faculty teaching 306 and 302 to recommend students for
the course.  Several of you have asked me if I would recommend you.  I can
do a much better job of recommending if I wait until I have your entire 
record in 306, including how you do on the final exam.  If you are interested
in taking Professor McDermott's course, please send me email during the last
week of the course (December 6 to 10) asking to be put on the list.  If you
have already asked me, I am asking you to ask me again during the week of 
December 6 so I will know that you have not changed your mind.

Enjoy the rest of the week.  I will see you Monday in class.
