You will submit your lab notebooks and homework assignments as PDF files using Gradescope: https://www.gradescope.com.
Prepare notebook PDF files as instructed in the Lab Notebook Guidelines above. For homework, work the clearly numbered problems on paper, then photograph or scan your work and convert to a PDF file as with the lab notebooks. Do not exceed 20 MB per PDF file.
Click on the Log In button at the top right of the Gradescope home page. Select School Credentials at the lower left of the popup window and use your browser to search for “barb” in the list of schools to find UCSB NetID. Then log in.
Select this class and submit one PDF file for each Gradescope assignment.
If you do not see our class, an account has probably already been created for you using an email different from the one I did (I used the one ending in @ucsb.edu without umail.) In that case, merge your accounts according to the instructions here.
You must complete all lab assignments to pass this class. Work turned in late will have 10% of the possible remaining credit deducted for each 24-hour period past the deadline.
