General

Must be submitted in by 5:00pm on the due date. Assignments should be submitted via the assignment boxes on the third floor of MC. Assignments will be posted on the Web page for the course. Check to make sure you are using the most recent version (corrections will be made to the Web posting if necessary).

Assignment Marking

The assignments will consist of programming problems and analytic work. IMPORTANT: for the programming problems, marks will be given for your description of your algorithms (i.e. pseudo-code) and explanation of the results. Simply handing in "raw code" will not get full marks.

Assignment figures and graphs should be carefully thought out to present the data and your conclusions in an effective and clear manner. Poor presentation of your work will result in a poor mark.

In all cases, I expect you to explain your algorithms, and describe what you see in detail. You should also submit hard copies of your code, along with some documentation. Matlab has good plotting facilities. Create figures with Matlab to include in your assignments.

If you believe you have received an unfair mark on an assignment you have up to one week from the date the assignment was handed back to request a remark. Please attach a written explanation to the cover of the assignment stating why you want it remarked and give your assignment to the instructor.

Assignments will be returned in class. Assignments not picked up at that time must be picked up from the TA or instructor office hours.

Assignment solutions will be discussed in class. Assignment solutions will not be posted on the Web.

Assignment marks will be posted on UW Learn (D2L). Please notify the instructor immediately if you believe the mark was recorded incorrectly. The recorded marks are regarded as final two weeks after the assignments are returned.

Late Policy

On the due date of an assignment, the work done to date should be submitted in class; further material may be submitted for one-half credit at the start of the next class.

Assignment Retention

Unclaimed assignments will be retained for one month after term grades become official in quest. After that time, they will be destroyed in compliance with UW's confidential shredding procedures.
