&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&   MESSAGE TO ALL STUDENTS  &&&&&&&

Before EOB (end of business) Monday, Sept 12, you must provide:

       * An abstract of your project. This should spell out what
       you will accomplish, and should give a schedule of milestones,
       specific steps you are contracting to finish on specific Wednesdays.

       * A schedule. This schedule must have at least 3 clearly
       defined "deliverables" with deadlines of Oct 5 (week5), October
       26 (week 8), Nov 16 (week 11).  On those weeks, you will
       deliver a document describing the progress that has been made
       since the previous deliverable report.

       On all other weeks you must send in a single paragraph
       outlining what has been accomplished during the previous week,
       and what is planned for the following week.

(The early, Monday, deadline is necessary for us to provide feedback
and possibly to modify some details.)
