Coursework
Your grade is based on few activities:
- Attendance
- Lab
- Midterm Review + Viva
- Assignment
- Final Project
- Final Project Update
1. Attendance
Self-Explanatory.
2. Lab
The course includes a compulsory 3 hour laboratory work each week.
3. Midterm Review + Viva
Paper reviews. For the midterm assessment, you will be assigned 1 paper. You should read the papers carefully and write a review of the paper. Your review should be a few paragraphs (in the style of a conference review, say for ACL or NeurIPS).
4. Assignments
There will be different types of assignments. Such as, Paper Reviews, Literature Review, Situational Questions, etc.
5. Final Project
Final Project There will be one final project, which allow you to get hands-on experience with Simulation and Modeling.
Projects will be done individually. Each project should be written up clearly and succinctly; you may lose points if your writing is unclear or unnecessarily complicated. Projects must be typeset using LaTeX, and submitted as a PDF. We strongly encourage you to use LaTeX: there are user-friendly web interfaces like Overleaf.
You need to use any of these LaTeX formats for creating your Project Final Report.
- IEEE (Bibtex Version) “[Recommended]” (Copy The Project to Your Overleaf)
- or IEEE (Bibitem Version) “[For those who are new in LaTeX]”
6. Final Project Update
Once the final project gets selected, there will be weekly meetings with the TA, where updates of your project will be taken. As well as, the TA will help you to structure your project and report further. You need to attend the meetings mandatorily.
Submitting coursework
Submissions: All coursework are submitted via Google Forms by the deadline which will be send to your email. Do not submit your coursework via email. If anything goes wrong, please contact the Teaching Assistant.
