Let me know when you are in. I have "office hours" from 12-2 and class from 2-5. In a initial review of lab3 turn ins, I am seeing a wide variation in responses to question 2. Some people (who try pretty hard usually) took your message to the class as a "I'm throwing the question out", which was not your intention: http://web.mit.edu/~stefie10/www/6.863/lab3/handin.html http://www.mit.edu/~havasi/6.863/l3/lab3.html http://web.mit.edu/jenlouie/www/6863/natotagged.txt I'd like to send a message to the class saying: - it is a requirement to have a working grouping mechanism, but you can use any means you'd like (Perl, Java, C) - therefore, you should have something which emits groupings appropriately - you must BRIEFLY DISCUSS 3-5 misgrouping for each the NX and VX rule sets provided (e.g. "President/___ Clinton/___ doesn't group correctly because...") I was planning to grade question 2 with 5 pts out of 15, and I believe that your message would make lead several people to get 1/5 in a way that would make them come back to me and say "but Prof Berwick said..." sourabh -- "Professor Robert C.
