-Please note that each group that is not doing a programming assignment (groups that are doing a programming assignment do not need to do a second topic study) may select a second topic among topics that have not been reserved so far in the list of topics in the file /cs/course/4221/4221_topics, then send email to me to reserve the selected topic. +The BeagleBone Black boards can be borrowed from the lab monitors now. 
-Note that the reservation of topics is first-come-first-served, so it would be prudent to select a first and second choice in case another group had sent an email to reserve a same topic before the topic list could be updated.  +Unfortunately, the department policy dictates that boards cannot be borrowed overnight. 
 +Students have until 10:00 pm each week day and 9 am to 10 pm on Saturdays and Sundays to use the board.
  
-Please also note that for the second topic, you are not required to present the topic study in class. However, you are still required to submit hard copies to me and also electronically submit to the course directory /cs/course/4221/submit/topic copies of both the topic study presentation slides and topic study report. The second topic study and the project are due December 5, 2014, 24:00 midnight. +===== October 27, 2015 =====
