• The main purpose of this exercise is to encourage learning.
• System is able to feedback right or wrong, after each submission.
• One can resubmit an answer, after discovering his or her error.
• However, every try may cost a small fraction of mark.
• If you intend to help one another, make sure the help is genuine.
• The best 7 out of 8 assignments will be picked for computation of final mark.
