The Quick Check for this lecture is due Monday, October 12th at 11:59PM. In order to get the Gradescope submission code, you will have to follow the instructions at the end of one of these Google Forms; the instructions for this lecture are more involved as we will have you access the exam platform that we are using for the Midterm exam next week.
