Guidelines For Submitting Reading and Homework Assignments

• Each week before the class on Tuesday, you are required to turn in a one-page document that summarizes the readings for Tuesday and Thursday of the same week (and not the previous week).
• Use Blackboard (http://www.cmu.edu/blackboard) to submit all assignments. Please follow the link Assignments (on the panel at the left side) find the assignment to complete and click on View/Complete Assignment to complete. You need to attach the file that is needed, or a package of all files.
• Weekly reading summaries and homework reports can be in text, Word, PDF, and PostScript formats. When you are required to submit multiple files for a homework, pack them into a single file.
• Follow this naming convention to make it easier for us to manage your submissions: {studentid}_r{n}.ext for reading assigments, and {studentid}_hw{n}.ext, e.g. my fifth reading assignment would be named "lezhao_r5.doc".
• If you need to submit an updated version (before the deadline), please name your file like so -- lezhao_r5_u3.doc (for the 3rd update). We will use the highest numbered file.
• For coding assignments, please make a package of all your code together with a single run.sh (run.bat for Windows OS) script. The script should compile your code and run all experiments sequentially. We will be checking your code on a WindowsXP (SP2) desktop or a 64 bit (Fedora core 5) linux server. If you use an IDE such as Eclipse or Matlab, make sure there is a main test function which does not take any parameter, and will run all experiments sequentially. TA will use that function to run your code.
  As a good practice of collaboration, you should always try to make your code more self contained and self-explained, and to make it easiest for others to use or run your code.
