Homework to be delivered

To obtain the points associated with the homeworks, students have to observe the following terms:

  • Complete all the points of the exercises in the homework text.
  • Prepare one file in PDF, DOC or ODT format with the solution of the homework.
  • Name the file as: HomeworkN_Surname_Name_StudentId.XXX where
    • StudentId, Surname and Name should be substituted with student information
    • the N character following Homework should be substituted with the number of the submitted homework
    • the filename extension XXX depends on the file type chosen for the submission (PDF, DOC or ODT).
    • DOCX format is not supported.
    • Since uploaded files are automatically processed, naming the file with a wrong name implies the cancellation of the related homework submission.
    •  For example, for homework 1 and extension pdf, the student with name and surname Mario Rossi and id s123456 will upload Homework1_Rossi_Mario_s123456.pdf
  • Load the file on the didactic portal (Portale della didattica) in the section Work Submission (Elaborati) before the deadline.
    • Multiple loadings for the same student and/or for the same homework are not allowed.
    • The upload date show on the didactic portal is considered for the evaluation.
    • Since uploaded files are automatically processed, the upload after the deadline implies the cancellation of the related homework submission.
  • During the upload procedure a description (“Descrizione”) field is requested. Insert the same name of the file according to the rules described above.
  • Only the students without the access to the course page on the didactic portal can submit the homework before the deadline by sending an email to the assistant lecturer (eliana dot pastor at polito dot it)
  • Discuss the homework with a positive evaluation on the fixed date (announcement will be published).

Homework discussion: Students attending the written exam must bring the following items:

  • for Homeworks #1 – #4:
    • a hard-copy of the submitted reports

Homework deliveries:
