I received a letter today that says...

"The Graduate Affairs Committee has reviewed your performance on the recent First Stage Comprehensive Examination. You did well on the portion in Graph Theory, but were marginal in the Discrete Optimization.

As a result, the committee has decided that you must perform some additional work in Discrete Optimization in order to earn a passing grade in the First Stage Comprehensive. This additional work will consist of your providing complete, clear, and detailed solutions to the Discrete Optimization exam that you took on June 24, 2004...

You must submit your solutions to either of Professors Geelen and Guenin. This must be done no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 9, 2004."
