Assignments are due between now and 5pm (PDT) 17 October 2014. (Countdown Clock — Time Zone Converter)

If you haven't gotten very far with your assignment, it might be a good time to look at your life, how busy it is, and what your chances of finishing a project between now and the due date are. There's no shame in defaulting, and the earlier you do it, the easier it is to set up a pinch hitter.
