HOMEWORK 1 EXTENSION AND SCHEDULE CLARIFICATION
Peter Chapman - 07:23:09 AM Feb 27, 2012

In the hectic days prior to launch we had some internal miscommunication about homework due dates for CS 373. This led to conflicting information presented in various course documents.

We’d like to apologize for any confusion that this has caused. We want to ensure that none of our students are unfairly penalized for this mistake so we are extending the due date for the first homework to Wednesday at 23:59 UTC. This extension applies to the first homework only!

Future homeworks for CS 373: Programming a Robotic Car will be due on Mondays at 23:59 UTC. New homework assignments for CS 373 will be released on Mondays at 23:59 UTC.

We will be posting the homework for Unit 2 according to this schedule, so this week there will be a brief period of overlap where the homework for Units 1 and 2 will both be out.

Unit 2 lectures will be posted in the next 24 hours.

We will keep registration open, so it is not to late for new students to join the class.

Thanks for your understanding. Keep learning!

FAQ must be updated, because current text is not longer valid: "The homework assignments will be available 00:00 UTC on Mondays and are due 23:59 UTC on the following Wednesday." So, until this be fixed please follow posts in ANNOUNCEMENTS page.

And despite numerous tries to inform the course staff about this, it's still wrong on the announcements page, as Maxime says here. Please fix before it's too late! :-) If there's a better way to communicate to the staff about this kind of problem than a question or comment on the forum, please advise. Thanks!

In addition to fixing the faq and other static pages, I think it would be fair to send an extra email and reply to or edit the threads where conflicting information has been given before. Now it's extremely easy to start looking for the due date and find the old Wednesday references. This question has only 2 votes, so it's very much not visible at all, unless you are determined to go through all threads that mention "homework" and "deadline".
