Assignment Submission Instructions
- You are free to discuss the problems with other students in the class. You should include the
names of the people you had a significant discussion with in your submission.
- All your solutions should be produced independently without referring to any
discussion notes or the code someone else would have written.
- All the programming should be done in MATLAB
(unless otherwise allowed explicitly).
Include comments for readability.
- Code should be submitted using Moodle Page.
- Create a separate directory
for each of the questions named by the question number. For instance, for question 1,
all your submissions files should be put in the directory named
Q1 (and so on for other questions). Put all the Question sub-directories in a single
top level directory. This directory should be named as "yourentrynumber_firstname_lastname".
For example, if your entry number is "2013anz7535" and your name is "Nilesh Pathak", your
submission directory should be named as "2013anz7535_nilesh_pathak". You should zip your
directory and name the resulting file as "yourentrynumber_firstname_lastname.zip" e.g. in
the above example it will be "2013anz7535_nilesh_pathak.zip". This single zip file should
be submitted online.
- Honor Code: Any cases of copying will be awarded a zero on the assignment and a
penalty of -10. More severe penalties may follow.
- Updated: Jan 23, 2016. Late Policy: You are allowed a total of 5
late days acorss all the assignments. You are free to decide how you would like to use them. You will
get a zero on an assignment once you exceed the (total) allowed exemption of 5 days.
