@JiUngLee1 Hi @JiUngLee1 apologies for the confusion! the final assignment has actually not yet happened, and that's why we haven't notified people yet. (Reviews shouldn't have been visible, but temporarily were when you logged in). Reviewing will start on 30th, and we will notify you ;)

@DebOishi Congratulations and enjoy the DPhil!
