Updated late policy for indexes assignment #553

Non-graduating students:

There is a lot of load on the lambda server right now due to everyone working on the indexes assignment. To help alleviate the load, I am modifying the late policy so that no late penalty will be deducted no matter when the assignment is submitted. I will be entering your grades on Tuesday 14 May, so that is the last possible day to have the assignment submitted.

NOTE: I knew this assignment would cause a lot of load and therefore frustration for you all. One of your main takeaways from this assignment is that predicting how long it will take to work with a large dataset is difficult because of load issues.

I never intended to enforce the original due dates for this assignment. I've been intentionally slowly rolling back the due date schedule from the original due date ~2 weeks ago to encourage you all to make progress and prevent people who put it off to the last minute from getting an accidental 0.
