How grades are assigned?
All homeworks: 250 points.Midterm exam: 125 points.
Final exam: 125 points.
Total: 500 points.
Lowest boundaries for grades (not higher than):
A = 450, B = 400, C = 350, D = 300.
Homework regulations
HW has to be typed in what ever editor you like.If you were asked to produce any output from Matlab - it has to be copied in the HW text.
If you were asked to prepare a script and use it, every Matlab script has to be printed.
If you were asked to plot something, this plot has to be printed.
Essentially, it is recommended to type all HW together with plots and cut-and-paste scripts and Matlab outputs.

Where to get MATLAB Lecture 01 (matlab1-2) explot.m Formats the plots in Matlab so they are easily viewable on a smaller screen or when exported ("ex" stands for "export"). |
Lecture 02 (matlab1-2), TS 0.1. exsemilogy.m Analogous to explot.m, but provides larger semilogy (semi Log(y)) format. |
