= ELE 201:  Information Signals - Labs
[http://www.princeton.edu/~cuff/ Prof. Paul Cuff], [http://www.princeton.edu/ee/ Princeton University], Spring Semester 2016-17.


Hands-on lab assignments involving Matlab programming will take place every week (unless otherwise notified) in F115 at the scheduled times.  Please work with a partner.  You can share code (assuming you were both involved in creating it), but you must submit your own individual write-ups.  Write-ups will be submitted bi-weekly on the Friday following the lab completion.  All of the due dates are midnight.  Most of the lab grade (70\%) will be based on demonstrating presented to the TAs.  The remainder (30\%) will be based on the write-up and questions answered therein.  Even thought the assignments are handed in bi-weekly, you must complete them in the week they are scheduled, as the TAs will be tracking your progress and giving you credit for your demonstrations.
