Grading Policy:

Homework assignments: 70% of your grade.
- homework problems involving MATLAB (*) can be run in the Computer Lab in Bell Hall during open hours. Turn in printout (only) of MATLAB program and output. Tutorials on using MATLAB are here and here . Information on running MATLAB at my.apps.utep.edu is here. You can also get a free copy of MATLAB for your own computer here!
- homeworks are individual, not group, projects
- homeworks can be submitted by e-mail (sewell@utep.edu, PDF, JPG or Word files, as few files as possible!), or in person (Bell Hall 200, under the door if I'm not in---note: Bell Hall is currently locked).
- late homework not accepted
Test I, over chapters 0,1: 30%
