IRLS475/575

Coursework and Assignments

Last altered 12/10/02

Expectations for the IRLS475 Undergraduate students and IRLS575 Graduate students

The undergraduate IRLS475 students are distinguished from the IRLS575 graduate students both in the quantity and the quality of the work expected.

The graduate students have to do some groupwork, and their examination is longer.

Further details are in the Course Requirements File.

Assignments

The papers are to be submitted

usually by the WebCT assignment drop box

a less preferable alternative is by WebCT internal email to me, put 'Assignment One (or <whatever>)' as the subject and send the assignment either as the message or as an attachment to the message.

Pure electronic documents need to be either plain text or formatted using HTML (just 'Save As' HTML using your favourite word processor). If you do not do this, then I will have to do it, by translating whatever document you supply into HTML (and it is far better for each of you to do it once, rather than me to do it 30 times).

As to the format and content.... I am much more interested in content than anything else. Some assignments may be in the form of papers, other may be in the form of projects. For papers, you need to write about four pages.

The 1997-8 University of Arizona General Academic Manual, p.23 reads

The grade of I may be awarded only at the end of a semester, when all but a minor portion of the course work has been satisfactorily completed. The grade of I is not to be awarded when the student is expected to repeat the course; in such a case the grade of E must be assigned. Students should make arrangements with the instructor to receive an incompete grade before the end of the semester ...
If the incomplete is not removed by the instructor within one year the I grade will revert to a failing grade.

Assignment 1

Due mid October

Early submissions of papers are most welcome.

(General Grading considerations: You should write about four pages (if you write less than 2 or more than 6 think carefully about what you are doing). I am not concerned with grammar, style, or spelling-- provided I can understand the paper and the faults are not so severe as to be a distraction.)
