You will work in groups of two or three to solve lab problems with Matlab, with guidance from the teaching assistant and instructor. You might feel totally lost and helpless to begin with, but there is no better way to learn this material than diving in, trying it, fixing mistakes, and trying again. |
You must plan on attending the labs and working diligently for the entire period. Excessive absence from lab will result in a reduced grade. Collaboration is allowed on lab exercises, but it is your responsibility to make sure you fully understand your individual or group solution in order to adequately prepare for the exams. You can turn group solutions to lab exercises with up to three students in a group. Each student must sign the last page as a certification that he or she contributed to the solution, fully understands the solutions, and could reproduce or explain the solution independently. | You must plan on attending the labs and working diligently for the entire period.
