Homework 3 has been posted. As discussed in class today, this is an optional assignment. If you do not turn in the assignment, then you will not be penalized for doing it — you will just have one less homework assignment counting toward your final grade (so the others will be worth more of your final grade). It is due by 11:59PM on Tuesday, May 14th. Absolutely no late submissions are allowed for this assignment.

Exam 2 will be posted on Blackboard on Thursday afternoon. It will cover chapters 5, 8, 9, and 10, along with the two videos that we have viewed in class. You will have until 11:00 AM EDT on Tuesday, April 30 to complete the exam and submit your answers on Blackboard. As I suggested in class today, you should print out the PDF of the exam and mark it up with your answers, then work on filling in the your responses on Blackboard.
