Scribing, Implementation, and Question Writing Assignment

There are three basic parts to this assignment.

• The assigned student(s) are responsible for scribing the lecture notes in LaTeX (using the most basic article format without any macros, but do include section structure). The writeup should not just be a transcription, but also try to elaborate on topics that have been merely skimmed over in lecture, fill in mathematical details that were omitted, and provide proper references (using BiBTeX). Feel free to create figures using your preferred method/approach.  When multiple students are assigned to the same lecture, it is their choice as to whether to do this part of the assignment individually or together.  If together, then the same grade will be given to all collaborating students.
• The assigned student(s) are responsible for implementing at least one computational example each, which is pertinent to the topic of the lecture.  This can be done either from scratch or drawing on pretrained models / existing code, but if based on extant materials, the student's contribution should be clarified.  When multiple students are assigned to the same lecture, they should coordinate to ensure their individual computational examples are distinct.
• The assigned student(s) are responsible for creating at least two theoretical questions and solutions each, which are pertinent to the topic of the lecture.  Although students may be inspired by other resources, they should make their own clear contribution.  When multiple students are assigned to the same lecture, they should coordinate to ensure their individual theoretical questions/answers are distinct.

The source files and compiled pdfs for the lecture notes and theoretical questions / answers should be submitted by email to Prof. Varshney within one week of the given lecture as a first draft, and within two weeks as a final submission. 

The source code, documentation, and text description of the computational example (including source files and compiled pdf) of the computational example should be submitted to Jason within one week of the given lecture: depending on the nature of what is developed (especially file size), submission procedures may vary; please coordinate with Jason.  With coordination with Jason, a final version can be submitted within two weeks of the given lecture.  As a default, however, please use the following:
