Specific questions asked in the lab manual should be answered in the form via Adobe Reader. 3. The completed pdf form will be submitted via the e-Learning website. 4. For labs that have a design component, you must include your source code as a separate file. You will not submit a hard copy. Please note the following: •

All source code must be commented! Comments should be detailed and

understandable, following good coding conventions. A good reference for the coding style expected in this course may be found at the following link. Uncommented code will receive a 0. •

Your code must be your own and no-one elses! Your code will be algo-

rithmically compared versus others in your class and in previous classes. (See the discussion on plagiarism below.) 5. Other items such as simulator output files requested in the lab manual must be included in the submission. 6. Each laboratory exercise must be completed and demonstrated to your TA before the end of the lab session one week from the lab’s start date in order to receive credit (e.g. if Lab01 begins on Monday, the lab must be demoed by at the end of next Monday’s lab session). The grading procedure for the demo is as follows: Demo Works During Lab: If the demo works during the lab period, call your TA, and he/she will check it and make a note in his grading sheet. You should then save your designs on your own disks before leaving the lab. This is the end of this lab and you will get a complete credit for the demo. You just have to submit the report and source code to your TA. Design Does Not Work/Is Not Complete During Lab: If the design does not work or is not complete by the end of lab, you must make use of the open times for the lab room to complete your design or work from home. Remember your lab demos and reports are due before the end of next week’s lab session. Thus, you can present your work during the next lab session. Please submit your code to TA before coming to the lab session.

Be careful and abstain from copying someone else’s work, even if it is from previous semesters. This does not mean that you cannot compare results, on the contrary, is actually encouraged. You may explain your methods to other students, but do not let them copy your work. First time offense plagiarism will result in a 0 for the lab for both students. Future offenses will be brought up with the Aggie Honor System Office, potentially resulting in an F for the course or worse.
