Go to main page

Homework policy:
  1. Written assignments will be made available weekly
     
  2. HWs are due on Wednesdays at 10.30 p.m. and submissions will be made via Gradescope. You can find instructions on how to scan/upload your HW here, here and here (it says for exams, but it is similar for HW).
     
  3. Late homework will receive no credit.
    No exceptions, so don't wait until the last minute to submit it and then run into internet issues.
     
  4. In order to account for sickness, travel or internet issues, your lowest homework mark will be dropped for 211 students and your lowest two homework marks will be dropped for 210 students.
     
  5. Make sure you box your answers and match problem parts accurately in Gradescope, or you will be deducted 10% of the corresponding problem part.
     
  6. Make sure that your HW is neat enough to read. Graders has the flexibility to deduct up to 20% for lack of neatness.
     
  7. Homework assignments in ECE 210 constitute an essential component of your learning experience in the course and prepare you for your exams in effective ways. Investing time to do your homework with care will pay off when you are taking your exams.
    You will be expected to provide detailed explanations of your solutions in order to obtain full credit in your homework assignments. Conversely, solutions lacking full explanations will receive zero credit even when the answer provided may be correct and further incorrect answers without any work shown may lead to 'academic integrity violation' cases being opened against you. Some of the homework problems you will be assigned will resemble problems from previous semesters but with modified parameters and/or inputs. Your comprehensive homework solutions will naturally be expected to match the versions of the problems assigned during the current semester, whereas solutions or answers matching the versions from previous semesters will once again lead to 'academic integrity violation' cases being brought against you.
    You are encouraged to collaborate to understand the problems in the homework sets, but each student should solve the problems individually for submission even if they work together initially to understand how to solve the problems. Copying a joint solution is not acceptable.
    Please keep these cautionary remarks in mind as you are working out your homework assignments and avoid submitting unsubstantiated solutions to avoid any misinterpretations as explained above.
     
  8. Regrades: You will receive an email from Gradescope so you can log in and see your graded HW. If after looking at the posted solutions, you feel there was an inaccuracy in the grading of your HW, you can request a regrade within Gradescope itself.
    Make sure you submit regrade requests before 10.30pm on the Wednesday after your graded HW is made available via Gradescope. Regrades will not be accepted after that date.
