Assigned on Friday March 20, 2009
Due on Tuesday March 24, 2009

NOTE: the lesson is being reassigned in light of today's conversation around home nugget expectations. The idea is to implement the criteria we discussed and hand in a product that represents your understanding of these issues tomorrow.
