Dear CSCI-316 Students,

You may recall that my email of 9/12 asked you to
do the following before our 7th class (this coming
Monday, 9/29):
    a) Read secs. 2.9-2.14 on pp. 41-64.
    b) Do part C of Lisp Assignment 1.
    c) Read secs 3.7-3.10 on pp. 86-90. 
    d) Do part D of Lisp Assignment 1.   
    e) Read sec. 2.17 on pp. 72-73.
    f) Read secs. 6.3 and 6.4 on pp. 161-65.
This assumes you've already read secs. 2.1-2.8 on
pp. 31-41 and done parts A and B of Assignment 2,
which the same email asked you to do before
last Wednesday's class.

After finishing a) - f) above, you can start
working on the following items, which you were
asked in the email to finish before our 8th class
(i.e., our class on Monday, 10/6):
  (A) Do part E of Lisp Assignment 1.
  (B) Read sec. 3.17 on p. 104.
  (C) Read sec. 5.3 on pp. 138-40 (pp. 138-39
        in the free older edition).
  (D) Do part F of Lisp Assignment 1.
  [Reminder: Wednesday, Oct. 8 is the on-time 
  submission deadline for Lisp Assignment 1.]   
Regarding (D), I would like to remind everyone of
the remarks about APPEND and SDRAW at the end of
my previous email.

Although Lisp Assignment 1 is to be submitted on
Brightspace, Lisp Assignment 2 (which is due on
Friday, Oct. 10) will have to be submitted on
mars. You will not be able to submit Assignment 2
unless you can login to your xxxxx_yyyy316 mars
account, so make sure you don't forget that
account's password! Most of you will have another
mars account with a different username and
(possibly) a different password: It's important
not to confuse that mars account with the
xxxxx_yyyy316 mars account used for this course.

Note that I cannot reset forgotten mars account
passwords: Xiuyi Huang is the person who can do
that--see page 5 of the 1st-day-announcements
document for her contact information. In past
semesters, a significant proportion of late
assignment submissions were due to forgotten
passwords that were not reset in time. Please
check this week that you still remember your
xxxxx_yyyy316 account password, check again next
week, and once again a few days before you plan to
submit Assignment 2.

See you in class on Monday.
