Thanks for being considerate. Without code in hand, I would never hold
up another developer, much less a student. Risk management 101. :)
Even if there is some duplication of effort the end result will end up
better, so no worries. All that said, I'll be quite pleased when the
students submit code if you can take some time to review. I'll try to
make a point of encouraging them to solicit your feedback!

Sincerely,
Gedare
