[CSC 330] Poker 2 and Collatz

[Andrew J. Pounds]

I had a few students reach out to me on Friday and this morning stating 
that there was simply no way they could have Poker 2 done by Tuesday and 
would I please give an extension.   The problem with giving an extension 
is that it is going to bump up against the Collatz project and the group 
project and the further I move things back to accommodate you all, the 
less time I have to grade things.   I also don't like having deadlines 
on holiday weekends -- but I was told by three students that they didn't 
care about that.

I know of at least two of you that are almost done with poker 2 and I 
also want to reward that effort.

Here is my solution.

1. For those of you that need it, you can have until Sunday night (the 
25th) at midnight to finish Poker part 2.

2. If, however, you get Poker 2 submitted by midnight on the 21st, which 
is Tuesday (ALL languages have to work and produce correctly formatted 
output and meaningful result, everything committed on Anvil, issue 
raised for me to grade it before midnight) then I will give you 40 bonus 
points.  This is a HARD deadline.  If you don't have everything working 
correctly don't attempt this.

3. I will move the due date for Collatz to Saturday December 2nd at 
midnight.  That gives you two extra days.

4. The group project is still due December 5th.

Collatz it is a pretty simple assignment but it does have some "gotchas" 
with respect to integer math and how things have to be ordered. Even 
though we are not having class on Tuesday,  I will have an exercise on 
recursion in Fortran ready that you can complete sometime next week.  
You will be able to use your Collatz project code on the final -- so you 
need to make sure it all works.

Let me know if you have any questions.
