Last night, Johan emailed everyone ¡­

Last night, Johan emailed everyone with comments on your submissions to assignment (1b). There is substantial variation in scores this time: ranging from 21 to 92 points. Accordingly, some people have accumulated less than 100 points from (1a) and (1b) this far, which is below the 50% minimum threshold. Don't panic! Recall that you are required to amass at least 150 points for the first obligatory exercise, i.e. assignments (1a) through (1c). The submission deadline for (1c) is more than a week away, and we will have two laboratories (today and Thursday next week) to work jointly with you on this assignment. The key is to start now and aim to get all the way through before next Thursday; this way, you can take advantage of Johan and me being available for consultation. Also, remember that we are happy to receive queries in email, in case you get stuck somewhere.
