2007 Calendar

Grading:

25 % -- Homework/Class participation
25 % -- Project
20 % -- Technical Report
10 % -- Presentation
20 % -- Final Exam

Technical Report:
This 20-page (html) report should document in detail all aspects of the project. It should begin with a high-level description and progress down to the lowest cell level. Simulation stimuli and responses should be included.
Homework:
Students may consult others about possible solutions but may not copy from one another directly.
Late Work:
Each assignment is due at the beginning of class. Assigned work that is received late but within the subsequent 24 hours will be discounted 30%. Thereafter, each 24-hour period will necessitate an additional 10% penalty. Saturday and Sunday are considered one period. No work will be accepted after 4/26/Thu at noon.
Honor Code:
Hilltopics (pdf)
Incompletes:
I adhere strictly to this statement from the UTK catalog: "I" indicates that the student has done satisfactory work in the course, but because of circumstances beyond his control has been unable to finish all requirements. It is not to be given to enable a student to do additional work to bring up a deficient grade.
