A338/A538
Homework Assignments

I will be posting all the various Homework Assignments on this page. I will also being posting a variety of shared resources and other things that we will work on together and/or that you will do on your own but I will share "anonymously" with the entire class.

Most Homework will be submitted electronically to a specified location in an OnCourse dropbox that has been created for you. BE SURE you read each assignment carefully and submit it to the correct location and in the correct File Format. Submissions that are not submitted according to the guidelines should expect to be scored as a 0 (zero).

NOTE: There may be different assignments for A338 and A538. Make sure you complete and submit the correct Homework assignment for the course you are taking.

ALSO NOTE: Late Homework will not be accepted. If you fail to submit your email or electronic assignment by the posted deadline, your score will be 0 (zero). No exceptions.

A338/A538 Various Course Resources We Worked On Together.

• BIG 3 questions from JITs 1 thru 7.. (LAST UPDATED: 12/4 @ 7:00pm)
  
  

Here is a PDF version of a Journal article from the Proceedings of the IEEE about the use of wireless communication in the airline industry. While you should actually understand a far bit of this once we complete our 802.11 discussions, notice more importantly the organization of the article, the writing style, and the inclusion of an actual outline of the article on the fifth (5th) page to aid the reader. [Note this is a large, 7MB+, file.]

Here is a PDF version of a Journal article from the Communications of the ACM about various possible futures for High Performance Computing (HPC). This includes developments in technology as well as software. While you may not understand some of this, notice more importantly the organization of this article, the writing style, and how it has some organizational strategies similar to the IEEE article as well as some different strategies because it is a different sort of document with a different audience. [Note this is a somewhat large, 3MB+, file.]
