Required Format for Lab Assignments:

The assignments must be typed into ONE file (txt, doc or pdf) and submitted electronically through blackboard by deadline.
Be sure your name is on your paper along with the course number and the number of assignment.
Try to meet the page limit set for each assignment, with font size not smaller than 11pt.
The answers should appear in the first few pages next to the problem number from the assignment.
All graphs should have a title and labelled axes with units if any. Graphs should be referred to at appropriate places in your paper and described clearly.
Necessary Matlab code should be included, which should be able to produce all the results you mentioned in the report.
The data sets should NOT be included unless you are asked to do so.
Here is a sample file .

To Submit Assignments Using Blackboard

Login to Blackboard using your NetID.
Select STA113 (Fall 2005) from your course list.
Click on the Assignments link in the left hand column.
Select the date for which you'd like to submit your assignment.
Under item 2 - Assignment Materials, browse to add the file you would like to submit.
Click "Submit".
Your TA can view, grade, and return your assignment in Blackboard.
When your TA has returned it, you will be able to see your grade, any comments, and any notes that he or she has made on your submitted document.

Grading Policy: A 5-point system will be used for lab assignments.

You may work with others while doing the MatLab simulations and you may discuss your results with others. However, you must write and understand your own MatLab code, generate your own graphs, and write your own paper.

FAQ:

I click on assignments, but there is no place for me to drop it. Where to submit my report?
The assignment link will be automatically removed after the deadline. So you've passed the deadline. No late report will be accepted due to any reason.
What should I do, if I find grading errors?
You should receive an email from the TA who did the grading right after the grades are posted at Bb. In that email, the TA will specify certain time frame (usually his/her office hours) to deal with all the grading errors. Contact that TA during that time frame (no grading error will be corrected after that time frame). There is no need to contact or cc any emails to the professor.
I received a note on Bb, saying that the TA was unable to run my code, but it was running well on my laptop. What should I do?
Contact the TA. If needed, you should bring your laptop to the TA's office hours.
I can not run some of the codes listed in lab details on my notebook. Why?
It is possible that the Matlab on your laptop has a different version than 7.0 which is the current version at Teer. If you choose to do all the work on your notebook, it will be your responsibility to fix all the version-related problems.
Can I send my assignment through digital dropbox?
No, unless you are asked by the TA to do so.
Can I send my assignment through email attachment?
Never send your huge files as an attachment to the TAs' or the professor's email accounts, without obtaining their permissions first.
