• 9/2: Final project is optional
  Some of you wanted a final project and some did not. As a result, we decided to make the final project optional. Thus, you should choose to do the final project OR the last lab (which will be to build networking functions under JOS). If you select the final project, you'll be graded under the 40-40-20 regime. If you do not select the final project, you'll be graded under the 50-50 regime. If you choose to do both, you will receive extra credit.
