Dear CSCI-316 Students,

This is the first of two messages I am sending you
at this time. (The second e-mail will explain how
you can access my solutions to Assignment 3.)

Although the submission deadline for Lisp
Assignment 3 has now passed, late submissions of
this assignment will continue to be accepted until
the deadline for late submission of Lisp
assignments, which will be announced later but
will be in December.

For more about LATE/CORRECTED submission, see the
LAST THREE paragraphs of my next email (which you
should receive within a few minutes)!

You can now use the QUICKCHECK tool on mars to run 
some tests on your submitted solutions to Lisp
Assignment 3.

To QUICKCHECK your submitted solutions to
Assignment 3, logon to your xxxxx_yyyy316 mars
account and follow the instructions (given in my
email of 10/11) for QUICKCHECKing solutions to
Assignment 2. BUT, at the [1]> prompt you get
after you enter ckasn, call quickcheck with a 2nd
argument of 3 (NOT 2!), as follows:
  (quickcheck  '<your last name>  3)
For example, a student whose last name is
"Winston" should enter:
  (quickcheck  'winston  3)
The parentheses and the ' are needed here!

QUICKCHECK will save a transcript of its actions
in the file
       <your last name>-3.check.log
You can view this file by entering
       less  <your last name>-3.check.log 
at the xxxxx_yyyy316@mars:~$ prompt. [Within less,
type h to see available commands.]

As mentioned in my email of 10/11, if QUICKCHECK
reports no errors with your submission and your
submission follows all the rules in the
indentation-&-spacing-rules-for-Lisp-Assignments-2-3-4-5 
document on Brightspace, then you are quite likely
to score at least 90% (and you will probably score
at least 85%) on this assignment. This assumes
your submission complies with the requirements
stated on the very first page of the assignment
document and you did NOT use COND, IF, WHEN,
UNLESS, or CASE in solving problems 7 - 9.

Final decisions on assignment scores will not be
made until after I have graded the exams for this
course: If my impression at that time is that your
exams were harder or easier than I intended, then
I might want to be more lenient or more strict
regarding flaws in your assignment submissions.

If you have questions about the behavior of
QUICKCHECK, the Technical Notes at the end of my
email of 10/11 may well answer them--please read
those Technical Notes before asking for help!

LAST THREE paragraphs of my next email (which you
should receive within a few minutes)!
