Due: At the start of class on Thursday, October 29.

Group project: This is a group project, and you should be a member of a group by now. Once a group begins work on the project, its membership cannot change. Each group will submit one report, and all members of the group will receive the same grade for this project.

Project description: See Lab 2.2 on pages 225-226 of our text. A pair of systems has been assigned to your group.

Your report: Your report should be no longer than four typewritten pages, and it should address all of the questions in the project description. You may provide as many illustrations from the computer as you wish, but the relevance of each illustration to your report must be evident. (Please remember that, although one good illustration may be worth 1000 words, 1000 illustrations are worth nothing.) Illustrations are part of the four-page limit. Please insert your illustrations at appropriate places in your report rather than attaching them to the end of the report.

Asking questions: Questions related to the project will be answered at the start of class on Tuesday. Questions sent by email before then will also be answered at the same time. Questions sent by email after discussion section on Tuesday will not be answered. Consequently, you should not wait until the last minute to ask questions.

Academic Conduct: Your work and conduct in this course are governed by the CAS Academic Conduct Code. This code is designed to promote high standards of academic honesty and integrity as well as fairness. A copy of the code is available in CAS Room 105 if you cannot access it on the web, and it is your responsibility to know and follow the provisions of the code. In particular, all work that you submit in this course must be your original work. For example, you can only discuss your project with other members of your group or with me. Moreover, the computations that you do for your report as well as the text of your report must be original to your group. All group members are responsible for all aspects of the report. Any cases of suspected academic misconduct will be reported to the CAS Dean's Office.
