Thanks Heder for these notes. Can you edit the title of the post to reflect the correct the date (10/31, not 11/31)? Also, while you’re editing, it might be helpful to put the notes for peer review (currently at the end of your post) towards the beginning, where you discuss the peer review section of class.
