Grading

Homework 50%, Exams 50%

Homeworks:

In addition to written exercises, Matlab assignments will be given to demonstrate the theory in the text. You can NOT work with others on homework (similar homework assignments will be given a grade of zero). Late homework will not be accepted. Homework should be neat, the pages should be stapled with one staple in the upper left corner, and the problems should be placed in order. Matlab codes must be provided.

Exams:

Exams will be open-book, open-notes, and take-home. No makeup quizzes or exams will be allowed. You can NOT work with others on the exams (similar homework assignments will be given a grade of zero).
