I'm all better now

I'm quite relieved since we eliminated the deadlines. I was laying awake at night trying to figure out how to make you get started. Now that I've decided that's really your responsibility (which it probably was all along :) ), I'm feeling much better.

I have almost completed the changes to breakout and I think you'll find that to be an interesting project. As I said in class, don't bring all of the tests into your project at once - that'll overwhelm you pretty quickly. I'll try to come up with a recommendation on what order to start them in to help with that.

As always, if you have questions or are having difficulty with something (like figuring out how to start the paper), ASK ME FOR HELP! That way we'll all sleep better.

Spring Break?

I have to admit that I'm sitting at home during Spring Break worried about the work you all have to do. No one has given me a draft of a factory pattern paper to review, so I can only assume that you all are working on them during your break. Also, we have a lab that is supposed to be done the first week we get back.

I'm not sure if there is something I should do about this or any way I can help, but I am concerned. Should I delay one of the deadlines? I could do that, but I think we need to continue to make progress, too. Would that just let you pile things up to a later date or would it help you do a better job?

I could use some suggestions!
