+---- DATA STRUCTURES ----
+
+>> A1: Copy here the declaration of each new or changed `struct' or
+>> `struct' member, global or static variable, `typedef', or
+>> enumeration.  Identify the purpose of each in 25 words or less.
+
+---- ALGORITHMS ----
+
+>> A2: Briefly describe what happens in a call to timer_sleep(),
+>> including the effects of the timer interrupt handler.
+
+>> A3: What steps are taken to minimize the amount of time spent in
+>> the timer interrupt handler?
+
+---- SYNCHRONIZATION ----
+
+>> A4: How are race conditions avoided when multiple threads call
+>> timer_sleep() simultaneously?
+
+>> A5: How are race conditions avoided when a timer interrupt occurs
+>> during a call to timer_sleep()?
+
+---- RATIONALE ----
+
+>> A6: Why did you choose this design?  In what ways is it superior to
+>> another design you considered?

+
+---- ALGORITHMS ----
+
+>> A2: Briefly describe how you implemented argument parsing.  How do
+>> you arrange for the elements of argv[] to be in the right order?
+>> How do you avoid overflowing the stack page?
+
+---- RATIONALE ----
+
+>> A3: Why does Pintos implement strtok_r() but not strtok()?
+
+>> A4: In Pintos, the kernel separates commands into a executable name
+>> and arguments.  In Unix-like systems, the shell does this
+>> separation.  Identify at least two advantages of the Unix approach.

+                           SURVEY QUESTIONS
+                           ================
+
+Answering these questions is optional, but it will help us improve the
+course in future quarters.  Feel free to tell us anything you
+want--these questions are just to spur your thoughts.  You may also
+choose to respond anonymously in the course evaluations at the end of
+the quarter.
+
+>> In your opinion, was this assignment, or any one of the three problems
+>> in it, too easy or too hard?  Did it take too long or too little time?
+
+>> Did you find that working on a particular part of the assignment gave
+>> you greater insight into some aspect of OS design?
+
+>> Is there some particular fact or hint we should give students in
+>> future quarters to help them solve the problems?  Conversely, did you
+>> find any of our guidance to be misleading?
+
+>> Do you have any suggestions for the TAs to more effectively assist
+>> students, either for future quarters or the remaining projects?
+
+>> Any other comments?
