Be sure to look at the Canvas Module for this week for various hand-in mechanisms!


Homework: Self Introduction

This is an INDIVIDUAL exercise with an individual response.

*** IMPORTANT ***

this slide format is the submission format for all homeworks!
For every homework you submit in this class, please use this slide format for your submission.

All homeworks and in-class exercises for the entire course use this slide format.

All homeworks and in-class exercists for the entire course use this slide format.

All homeworks and in-class exercises for the entire course use this format.

Create ONE slide with the following information:

Make sure that you conform to the following format requirements

Submit the result onto Canvas. Look for the Week #1 module, assignment HW01. Upload the file in its native format (.ppt, pptx, .pdf) and NOT as a zip file. After you've uploaded make sure it displays properly. We'll render files direct from Canvas to minimize conversion issues.

This slide will be covered by a live talk in class. Be prepared to spend about 60-90 seconds talking about the slide during our first class meeting. If you have problems (e.g., technical issues) we'll try again in the second class. The point of this exercise is both to help students know each other and also to discover any technical problems so they can be resolved before week #2.

Here's an instructor example for this homework. (Powerpoint | Acrobat)

NOTE: Sometimes Canvas will a append a suffix to your file name such as "-2" if you upload multiple times. This is an acceptable deviation from the file naming requirement and regardless is something you cannot control.


Hint on time management: if you're feeling frustrated and not making progress on a homework assignment please contact the course staff in office hours to discuss the situation and get some help. Keeping in mind that you have lectures and project work, homeworks should be about an hour a week, with some variance across different students in the class. We don't expect perfect answers. Rather, we want you to spend time thinking through the question, make a good faith effort, and if you get stuck make sure you ask in class or office hours to learn any lessons to be learned from having become stuck.
