The final due date for this assignment is January 18th, 11:59PM HOL time. Please send all assignments to [email protected] with the subject line "Assignment 3 - [HOL ID]" for the extra credit. So if I were sending mine in, they would say "Assignment 3 - iv823" in the subject line. Please send extra credit and homework together in ONE e-mail! Please also include your name, house, and HOL ID at the top of your e-mail. I need this info to give you your hard-earned points, so double check that it's there! I will NOT accept attachments - please send your entire assignment in the body of the e-mail, or else I won't grade it. If you have any questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to send me a HOL message (my ID is iv823) or find me on IRC. I am always happy to help! Failure to format the assignment properly (i.e., as stated above) will result in a warning the first time, and a 2 point penalty for any times afterwards.
