throughout the quarter.
I will cover one slide deck per week (essentially one chapter per week).

How to turn in homework + late homework policy
Homework is submitted via Gradescope.
No late homework will be accepted without prior approval. Approval is
automatic the first three times you ask: to announce late homework you
must send email to the lead TA Abed Musaffar by midnight the day before
<abed@engineering.ucsb.edu>.
Beginning with the second late homework, late homework will automatically
lose 20% of the grade and no late homework will be accepted after 11:59pm
two business days after the deadline.
Homework formatting
One Exercise Per Page: For clarity, please answer each exercise on a
separate page. Gradescope allows you to associate each page with the
corresponding question, which will help streamline the grading process for
the TAs.
Box Your Final Answers: Be sure to draw a box around your final
answers. Last year, it was sometimes challenging for the TAs to determine
your final answers, which made grading more difficult. Clearly marking your
final answers will help avoid confusion and help the TAs give you partial
credit.
How to request a clarification about homework grades
If you have any concerns or clarification requests about a grade you
received, you must submit the re-grade request within 1 week from the
moment the grade is made available.
Please include a careful explanation and all relevant dates and fact: email
the lead TA and Professor Bullo.
No homework/midterm re-grade requests will be considered during and after
the final exam week.
