Assignments will be handed back during the tutorial tonight. Please check your email to make sure that your tutor was also your marker. We had to re-distribute assignments so that each marker had approximately the same load. For teams whose assignment was marked by someone other than their tutor, we'll be sending messages to inform them which tutorial section they should attend to get their assignment back.

Monday February 9, 2004

The deadline for assignment 1 has been changed to midnight Wednesday, February 11. Please submit an electronic version of your assignment, using the procedure outlined in the assignment writeup. When you submit it, use A1 as name for the assignment (the CDF system needs this information to classify properly your submission.) Also, please hand in a hardcopy of your assignment to the instructor (BA7266) on Thursday, before 5pm.

For a detailed marking scheme for assignment 1, check the course website under "Assignments".

You only have to do one kind of cost/benefit analysis, not all three (but you do get extra points if you do them all!) Also, the feasibility study lecture unit now has some information on risk analysis.
