+Gradescope.  Unlike past assignments, Gradescope will only do a basic
+test for well-formedness of your submission.  It will make sure the
+directory layout is correct and that all the functions that will be
+tested are available.  It will catch syntax errors in your code, but
+it does not run any correctness tests.
+
+If you fail these tests, we will not be able to grade your submission.
+Passing these tests only means your submission is well-formed.  Your
+actual grade will be computed after the deadline.
