Due date for everything = (end of week 8). You can come to Nick or Iddah's office hours, listed off the CS106A page. You could get an extension, but really it's going to be better to just wrap this up before the end of the quarter. Please mention cs193q in any emails, so we don't mix you up with CS106A students.
