L15: Storage for data-intensive computing PROJECT 2, PART 1 DEADLINE EXTENDED Because of changes in the project as handed out, and the day late release of the material, 746 staff has decided to allow you a little more time to submit project 2, part 1:
This effects the deadline and grade of part 1 only. Part 2 deadline does not change, and you must accomplish part 1 in order to accomplish part 2. In this sense it is a bad idea to take two extra days “polishing” part 1 — submit on time and get started on part 2 without delay. |
