Grading Policies

Grade Breakdown is as follows:

  • Tests: 30% (2 Midterms)
  • Homework: 50%
  • Final: 20%

Homework needs to be submitted to the website by the begining of the class, otherwise it will be considered late. I require the m-files you used along with a write-up that is preferably in PDF format. I feel the homework in this course is very useful to you as engineering students going forward with your careers. It is important to finish all of your assignments, so I will allow for late work subject a penalty of -50% up to 24 hours late. I will post solutions on the website 24 hours after the due date for the assignment.

After homework 1, you will be deducted points for not labeling plots.

You are encouraged to work together and discuss problems, but each student must submit his/her own work. Copying others' work is plagiarism and will not be tolerated. Consequences of cheating and plagiarism include failure in this class and possible dismissal from the university.
