Below you can find the instructions
Juan sent on the 17/11/23, for those of you that have/want to
do the new homework.
----
Dear students,
Regarding the network security homework, we had a discussion
with the course coordinator, as well as the coordinators for
both the EMSE and MUSS masters. As result, we decided to offer
the chance to everyone to be evaluated only on 3 homeworks
(instead of four). In more detail, here are the two options:
If you submitted your homework prior to the leak (Thursday
13:23) then we will grade your submitted homework normally
unless you send us an email by Monday, November 20, informing
us that you prefer your submitted homework not to be graded.
In that case you will be evaluated only on three homeworks.
Since this group was not really affected by the leak, there is
no option of submitting the new homework to replace the old
one.
For everyone else (i.e., if you submitted after the leak, or
if you did not submit at all) we will release a new homework
by Monday. We will try our best to make the new homework as
related as possible to the old one so that they are of similar
level and if you did some work for the old homework you
benefit from that. In any case, you can read the new homework
and decide whether to submit a solution, or not to submit a
solution at all. If you do not submit a solution to the new
homework, then you will be evaluated on three homeworks. If
you submit a solution to the new homework we will evaluate you
on four homeworks. Needless to say, you cannot submit a
solution to the new homework and then decide to be only
evaluated on three homeworks.
We worked hard to come up with a solution that we believe
minimizes the impact of this unfortunate situation. We
understand that each of you may have been affected in a
slightly different way by this mess, but we cannot do
case-by-case arrangements.
Best regards,
Juan
