| 13 | === A. Milestones achieved === |
| 14 | |
| 15 | We have completed the second programming exercise for graduate students using GENI, and are currently exploring two ideas for additional exercises. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | === B. Deliverables made === |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The first two programming exercises for graduate students using GENI are complete, and good progress is being made on another. |

| 21 | == II. Description of work performed since last report == |
| 22 | |
| 23 | === A. Activities and findings === |
| 24 | |
| 25 | We have completed the student handout, instructor manual and solutions for the first two programming exercises. The student handouts are available on our wiki page (see C below), whereas the instructor manuals and solutions are available to instructors upon request. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | We have presented our work on |
| 28 | exercises for graduate students using GENI at GEC 14 and the NSF Workshop on |
| 29 | Designing Tools and Curricula for |
| 30 | Undergraduate Courses in Distributed Systems (see C below). |
