:index:`Homework`
###################################################

Homework in ECE 537 will be written homework based on the articles
that we read in class.  Homework assignments will be posted here.

How to Submit Homework
-------------------------

Write your answers in pencil, photograph the pages, and submit them to
`Gradescope <https://www.gradescope.com/courses/413799>`_.  If you
prefer, you can submit answers written in LaTeX, Word, RST, or
whatever format you like.

Note: grading is for completeness only, **not** for correctness.
However, in order for us to see that your submission is complete, we
need to be able to read it (at least a little).

Solutions will be posted ten days after the submission deadline.

Homework Grading Policy
-----------------------

Written homework is graded based on completion, **not** correctness.

You are allowed to submit any homework late, with a penalty: your
homework grade will be multiplied by :math:`\max(0.5,1-t/20)`, where
:math:`t` is the lateness of your submission, in days (a real number,
not an integer).  For example, if you're late by one day, you can earn
95% credit; if you're late by any number of days greater than 10, you
can still earn up to 50% credit.

.. warning:: Warnings about the late penalty

   * Gradescope does not show you the late penalty.  If you submit late,
     and want to calculate your grade, you'll need to calculate  the late penalty
     yourself, based on the 'lateness' that is displayed on Gradescope.
     
   * The late penalty is not waived for illness, or for any other reason.
     The late penalty is mild on purpose, so that it is possible to recover
     from an illness and still submit the homework for most of the available points.
