Course Policies

  • Prerequisites: EE178 or equivalent, some basic linear algebra, and knowledge of a language like MATLAB or Python to do some simple simulation exercises.

  • Piazza: The main mode of electronic communication between students and staff, as well as amongst students, will be through Piazza. It is intended for general questions about the course, clarifications about assignments, student questions to each other, discussions about material, and so on. We strongly encourage students to participate in discussion, ask and answer questions through this site. The course staff will monitor discussions closely. We will use the Canvas website for general announcement

  • Collaboration: You are encouraged to work on homework problems in study groups of no more than 3 people; however, you must always write up the solutions on your own, and you must never read or copy the solutions of other students. Similarly, you may use books or online resources to help solve homework problems, but you must always credit all such sources in your writeup and you must never copy material verbatim. However collaboration is not allowed in the midterm and final exams.
