Homework is due Fridays at 3pm
Reflections are due Tuesdays at 3pm
Capstone problem sets are due 10/2, 10/30, and 11/25 at 3pm
Final group project reports are due 12/10 at 6am
Assignments will be posted on Friday mornings and are due the following week. We will grade at 3pm on Fridays, and your scores should be available by Friday evening.
The reflections/check-ins are posted on Friday mornings and are due on Tuesdays through Canvas. They are graded for completion.
The reflections/check-ins give you an opportunity to reflect on your learning and to communicate to me if concepts or techniques were not explained clearly. I will provide question prompts for the reflections.
The capstone problem sets will be released a week in advance (during capstone projects, there will not be a regular homework assignment).
The final group projects will involve 2-5 students in each group. I will help you find groups based on your project preferences, strengths, and timezones, and you are also free to form your own groups.
The goal of these projects is to learn more about a specific application or topics that we did not cover in class. The end product will be a 10-15 page written report that is accessible to anyone in the class.
Topics: I will provide a list of topics, but you can also choose your own. For instance, you could pick a chapter in the textbook that we did not cover and expand on the textbook presentation by adding more details, examples, and explanations. Or you can identify an application that involves PDEs and report on this application and how PDEs have been used to help gain insights into it.
I plan to list topics and help you form group by the end of October/early November.
