A338/A538
Homework Assignments and Other Resources.

image

I will be posting all the various Homework Assignments on this page.

Most Homework will be submitted electronically to a specified location in an Canvas Assignment/Assignment Group 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). The Canvas system will confirm it is late because you will not be able to submit any assignment after the deadline.

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.

Version 1.0: Final Project Description WITH MAJOR TOPICS INCLUDED for Summer Session 2024 (Adobe PDF document). Posted Friday, July 12, 2024.

Here is the simple document about making your project SMART that we shared on 7/15/24. Posted Monday, July 15, 2024.

A338/A538 FINAL TEAM REPORT TEAMMATE ASSESSMENT FORM. ONE FOR EACH TEAMMATE AND YOURSELF Due Friday, July 26, 2024 to your Canvas "TEAM-based Final Project Self and Teammate Assessments" assignment in the "TEAM-based Final Project Assessment and Review" group AFTER 12:00PM (Noon) and BEFORE 11:59:00.00PM (MIDNIGHT). (posted 7/23 @ 9:00am)

[NOTE: This is a read-only Microsoft DOCX file you will need to "SAVE AS" for each teammate and YOURSELF. Same process as the Homework 4 Assessments. ALSO NOTE: This is a new/different form than Homework 4. Be sure to use this new form only.]

  • Please be sure you clearly name each assessment file so it can be easily associated, by filename alone, with the teammate who is being assessed in that file.
  • The editable form for download is now available via the link above.
  • The form is an editable Microsoft Word document.
  • Only Microsoft Word format will be accepted for the completed assessments. Be sure you are clear, if you submit PDF, scanned images, or anything other than *.docx, your assessments will not be evaluated with the associated consequence to your final average.
  • BE SURE to mark your quantitative assessments with an "X" only.
  • Remember to do an assessment for yourself as well as for each teammate.
  • Every teammate should have a dedicated assessment form/file. Please DO NOT combine your assessments into one file.
  • PLEASE DO NOT ZIP your files, hand them in as regular files. ZIPPED files will not be unzipped, meaning a score of 0.
  • REMEMBER: 50% of your score will be how your teammates RATE YOU on the quantitative part of the form, the other 50% will be how I RATE THE QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM OF YOUR FEEDBACK to your teammates on the qualitative part of the form.
  • All students will be receiving a collated copy of the quantitative and qualitative feedback they receive from their team.

A338/A538 Various Course Resources We Worked On Together.

You must be enrolled in A338/A538 AND have a valid IU NetworkID to access these assignments once they are officially "posted."

  • BIG 3 questions from JITs 1 thru 7. (LAST UPDATED: 7/19 @ 9:00am)

  • 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.]
