\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{\textbf{General Instructions}:  For each practicum, student’s codes and outcomes will be checked 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}: Late submissions 15 points will be reduced from the report grade out of 100. 

Each report 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 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, coordinate labels, and the name printed on the plot using Matlab (e.g. using the “text” command).}
