Actually, I plan to be a little soft on the deadline for Lab 4.  It is a game program and I would like you to 
have it done before you leave for Thanksgiving so you can play it with your parents, siblings, etc.

November 17 and 18 are in the week before the Thanksgiving week that you have off.  Monday of that 
week is the second midterm.  There will be class on Wednesday because we have a lot to do.  The real 
deadline for Lab 4 is "before you leave for Thanksgiving."  If you are done by November 17, you are 
welcome to leave then.  If you are not done until Nov 18, you can leave then.  If you need Nov 19 to 
finish, that is okay also.  What is important to me is that you get it done, and once you do, you deserve 
some time off, i.e., the Thanksgiving week.

...but we have a lot in front of us before the week of November 13.  Good luck with ECE 306.
