Homework Rules and Tips

• We will accept no hand-written submissions, in a pinch we will tolerate handwritten figure labels but not captions.
• We appreciate people who can write sentences and prepare decent looking reports.
• Please take the time to organize the report clearly, and integrate the output from the simulations into the document.
• Always include with your simulation results some explanation for your results; did the results surprise you or do they fit into your understanding of how cells work? Explain what the results tell you about the behavior of these cells and their coupling.
• You may submit the reports on paper or via email as attachements. Acceptable formats include:
  • L^ATEX
  • MS Word
  • PDF (Acrobat)
  • Postscript
  • RTF (Rich text format)
• For more information on L^ATEX, go HERE
• Matlab does a pretty terrible job with its plotting defaults so be sure to increase font sizes, thicken lines, whatever it takes to make the output clear and readable. You can find some hints on how to do this at www.mathworks.com/company/digest/june00/export/ and www.mathworks.com/company/digest/december00/export.shtml.
