Graph assignment and grading

We hope you enjoyed the graph assignment (aka Pirates). The feedback we have from you is that it was generally viewed as a worthy assignment, but that it was hard, especially for the time allotted. We want to acknowledge this, and we will grade the assignment accordingly! Additionally, several of you have asked for "how am I doing?" feedback. We are developing some information that can help you judge your overall progress, and we expect to get this to you right after Thanksgiving. We don't want you to panic unnecessarily in preparing for the final, but rather, in fact, to enjoy the experience!! -- Chris and Bill (and the TAs also)
