COMMENTS ABOUT THE WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT

(1) Clarification in Section III. In the methods section you should write up brief descriptions of both ways in which the Face Experiment was run.

(2) I would like to discourage the faxing of Written Assignments. You may try faxing if you wish because I did say that you could (see Written Assignment for conditions). However, I am worried about it for two reasons. First, because the quality of the fax may be so poor as to make it difficult for the T.A.s to read, especially the graphs. But secondly, faxing is not 100% reliable. The department fax machine may get jammed, and, of course, if too many people tried to fax in simultaneously at 4:30 Monday afternoon, you could not all succeed.
