Individual Assignment:
Review the course syllabus and read how Learning Groups with participation points will be used in the course. You may also want to look through the assignment submission guidelines so you know what you're getting into. From this zip, read one paper (choose the one of most interest to you), and be prepared to discuss it in the next lecture. |
Learn of several different simulations reported in the literature, compare and constrast their pros and cons.
Understand how the course participation grade will be factored into your course grade.
Understand how your course grade will be calculated. |
