BE HONEST!  In the last assignment a few of you didn't submit a perfect score, yet your comment was that "I didn't miss any".  We need to be honest.  Submitting a question that you missed, helps determine what problem to discuss during class.  Ultimately, it helps the class take control of the learning by stating what problems get discussed!

If you made a mistake, I understand.  Correct it by seeing me!
