Subject: Unfortunate mistake with Codegrade (DSA)
 
Dear Professor Dr. Niculae,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Sarmad Shakarzadeh, and I am enrolled in your DSA course. 

During the codegrade of my second assignment my TA informed me that I had submitted the default files of dictionary_demo.py and dictionary.py without any of my own code. This came as a total surprise to me because I made both assignments.  

After reviewing my files and looking at what went wrong, I came to the conclusion that I copied the wrong set of files into codegrade. Instead of the finished ones in my DSA folder, I copied the ones that were still in my downloads. I had two different copies due to an issue I got with the file path in dictionary_demo.py. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the submitted files were empty, as I was in a hurry to catch a train at the time of submission. 

I can provide proof that the last changes to both files were made before the deadline. Given these circumstances, I was wondering if it would be possible to still have my assignment graded, either online or in person.

Thank you for your time and consideration, I sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,
Sarmad Shakarzadeh
