\textbf{General Instructions}: For each practicum, student’s codes and outcomes will be checked and appropriate parts on the Sign-off Sheets (which will be provided at the end of each Practicum document) will be signed by the instructor (or the TA). The report of each Practicum will be due in one week after each Practicum is finalized. The reports should be submitted online via Blackboard as one file (docx or pdf). All Matlab .m files should also be submitted online via blackboard.
\\
\textbf{Penalties}: Every late day after the submission due date, 5 points will be cut from the report grade out of 100. Practicum reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. 
\\
\textbf{Reporting Requirements}: At the beginning of each practicum session, it will be announced whether the practicum reporting requirement will be: 1) a full practicum report; or 2) a short report format. Either way, the signed Sign-Off Sheet, should be submitted.
\\
The Short Report (if required): should contain the Sign-Off Sheet signed by the instructor (or the TA), derivations, comments and answers to questions provided in the Practicum document and interpretations of the outcomes, and plots of the results with appropriate labels on the x and y coordinates. 
\\
The Full Report (if required): should be headed with the student’s name, the course name, and the practicum number and title. The first section should be titled “Objectives and Conclusions” and should describe the student’s understanding of objectives and conclusions. Nominally, this section should contain two or three paragraphs. The second section should be titled “Results and Comments” and should be organized in the same way that the procedures in the practicum are organized. The student should provide all derivations, comments, answers, plots and comparisons requested reflecting the student’s understanding of the material.  Each plot should have a title, x,y coordinate labels, and the name printed on the plot using Matlab (e.g. using the “text” command). The Sign Off Sheet should be attached as the last page of the full report.
