IMPORTANT: To submit your solutions to a homework assignment, please follow these steps. These steps are crucial for us to prevent descent into utter chaos. Hence, failure to follow these steps will result in lost points.
Here are some specifications for turning in homework that should make both your life and our life easier.
1) Submit both a hard copy in class and email an electronic copy of your homework submission to al0@cise.ufl.edu BEFORE class. Only your FIRST electronic submission to al0@cise.ufl.edu will be taken into account. All other ones will be ignored. In both hard and electronic copies, INDICATE your NAME and SSN. If either one of these copies is missing, you get ZERO points.
2) The hardcopy submission should contain all requested output, code, analysis, and printouts of all figures. If output ends up being very long, please load it into a word processor and {\it reduce its font} so that you can fit more on a page. Note: do not use a font below 8 point.
3) If you use a line fed printer, remove all edges and seperate each page. It is extremely difficult to grade a stack of line fed pages that have a staple through them.
4) Do not submit halfpages of paper.
5) For your electronic submission, include all your seperate .m files in exectuable fashion, your figures in .ps format, your diary files containing any script output, and text files of any analysis the problem may call for.
6) Use tar to combine all your submission files into on file. Keep all files in one directory with descriptive file names. DO NOT use names with spaces in them. Compress tar cvf hw1.tar *.m *.ps *.txt View files contents tar tvf hw1.tar Extract Files tar xvf hw1.tar
6') (desirable) Use gzip to compress the tar file.
7) If you do not have a .ps viewer at home, you can covert the .ps figures into .gif images using the pstogif command
pstogif blah.ps blah.gif
This will let you view the image at home and print it in Word or whatever word processor you have.
Note: Email submitted figures must be in .ps format
8) Label all your graphs in a way that makes it easier for us to tell what they are.
9) Scale the axis on all your graphs to show not just the plotted points, but the entire area in question.
10) If you are not familiar with unix, this is a good time to learn. If you have any unix questions, class questions, or homework questions, PLEASE come to instructor and TA office hours and we will be more then happy to assist you in any way.
