OK, so I've been working along -- and my last 3 or 4 nitpicks haven't happened till I bugged my nitpicker. So how much time should I give him or her?

For assignments 1 - 8 the turnaround is usually less than 48 hours.

For assignments in OOP it's normal to wait about a week (previously this section has had issues with excessive wait times, but that has improved in the past few months).

Which assignment are you currently working on?

I'm on assignment 8. I've been waiting a week and then bugging my grader -- then getting 48 hour turnaround. I've been on 8 since 7/24. I'm up to 4 nitpicks so far.

I'll talk to your nitpicker and see if they need a hand. Thanks for bringing it up!
