• Assignments are due at the beginning of the lecture on the due dates (before the lecture starts).
  
  
• You can work alone for each assignment or you can work in groups of size 2 for each assignment and the two students submit one solution with the name of both students on the cover page. You can decide to submit alone or work in a different group of 2 for each assignment.
  
  
• You must submit your assignments in one single PDF file.
  For undergraduates: You are STRONGLY suggested to write your Assignments using Latex (a template and sample is provided below). You will receive 5% bonus mark if your assignment is prepared entirely using Latex. Handwritten solutions may loose marks if the writing is difficult to read. You will have a Latex template file for this.
  For graduate students: Your assignment MUST be prepared using Latex.
  
  
• You have two coupons to submit two assignments late, each coupon gives you up to 48hrs for one assignment (at most one coupon for each assignment) with no penalty and no special permission required to do so. These coupons are to cover cases you may be sick or other extenuating circumstances. Do not use these coupons unless you absolutely need to as no other extensions or accommodation will be offered if you have used both coupons. If a group assignment is submitted late both group members have used one of their two "late submission" coupons. For a group, both members must have a coupon left to submit a late assignment.
  
  
• You must list all the sources and references you have used, including but not limited to:  Internet and Generative AI (like Chat-GPT, Gemini, etc), books, papers, etc. Solutions that are clearly copied down from a Gen-AI resource will be given zero credit and/or a plagiarism case will be filed.
  Each student is allowed to discuss solutions with at most one other student. Students that work in a group of two are not allowed to discuss with anyone outside the group.
  
  
• The instructor may do a follow-up oral exam with each student for each assignment handed in and the mark for that oral exam will replace your submitted assignment mark. For group submissions the oral exam will be individual and your mark might be different from your groupmate.
  
  
• For each question in an assignment if you simply write "I do not know the answer" and nothing else, you will receive 25% of the mark for that question. So if you don't know, it's best to leave it like that, instead of writing several lines that are completely wrong and meaningless.
  

Re-evaluation

• If you have concerns about your marked assignment you must bring that to the attention of the instructor within one week after it has been handed back.
• Remarking requests will not be accepted after one week.
