This message is ONLY for the three students from the Thursday group who claimed they could not attend the first exam last week because of the strike. As I told you, this take-home assignment will not count like the exam we had last week. Instead of factor 2, it will count factor/coefficient 1. The factor/coefficient applied for the next exam scheduled in January will be 3. This assignment is due for our next session on December 20th.
