Homework policies

Collaboration:

Collaboration on HW is permitted and encouraged. You are permitted to collaborate unless a particular problem or HW assignment explicitly states "Do not collaborate; do this yourself". That is, the default is that collaboration is permitted, unless I explicity state otherwise.

A maximum of 3 students can collaborate on any given problem. If you collaborate on a problem, only one student should submit the solution to that problem. The submitting student MUST list all students collaborating. The collaborating students on that problem MUST state who they collaborated with, but they do not submit a solution. It doesn't matter which collaborating student submits the problem. All collaborating students get the same grade on that problem. Note that the HW is the only place that collaboration will be permitted.

For example, suppose Bill collaborated with Susan on Problem 1, did Problem 2 by himself, and collaborated with Joe and Susan on Problem 3. Susan collaborated with Joe on Problem 2. Joe did problem 1 himself. Then the three HW submissions should read as the following:

What to turn in in class

Homeworks (hard copy) are due in class, typically on Thursdays. They are due at the beginning of class. Immediately at the beginning of class, I will collect all homework, and then we will have a short discussion on the homework solutions. Right after the homework discussion we will have a 5 to 15 minute quiz on the topic of the homework assignment. Thus, no late assignments can be accepted. Late homework is worth zero points; repeat Zero. The hard-copy you turn in must include everything: written discssuion (hand-written or typed, either way is fine) and m-files. They must be in the same order as stated in the homework assignment. Include a print-out of all M-files, and sufficient M-file output (see the "diary" command) to illustrate that the methods work. Do NOT submit a print-out of a gigantic diary output when a shorter text will do.

What to turn in online

Electronic submissions of the MATLAB m-files you write for your homework assignments will be due 15 minutes before class, to the class WebCT site. Printouts of the m-files must be included in the single hard copy you turn in in class.

The E-Learning site lists homeworks as "Work Invididually", but you may of course collaborate. Only submit your M-files electronically. Turn in everything in a printed STAPLED hard-copy form in class.

What not to turn in

Do not include your student ID on anything - hard copy, or electronic. I don't need it, and besides, you are not a number.
