ASEN 4159: Grading

Each week you will be required to write Matlab code. You will not only write your own functions, but you will also be required to utilize functions provided by the instructor. You will be graded primarily on whether your code works. Nevertheless, a small portion of your grade will be alloted to these elements:

• Your name and the date should be clearly written at the top of the code. (-2 points)
• A short description of the purpose of the code should be included on each program and function. Example: Solution to HW3, ASEN4519. Calculates the tropospheric delay for given satellite/receiver. (-3 points)
• If your function takes input or produces output (very likely), you must state the units (e.g. meters or radians) of the input and output at the top of the code. Why? Someone should be able to use your code without having to figure out the units. (-3 points)
• Each part of the code should briefly describe what this element does, Examples: computes ionosphere free observable; computes the Cartesian satellite position (-1 points)
• You should use self documenting variable names, i.e. don't call the troposphere correction variable x; call it trop_correction. (-2 points).
• Your main code should be fairly short, with most of the work done in functions. If you don't know when you should use a function, please ask and I'll be happy to give you my opinion.

Assignments will be worth 100 points. You should make your best effort to have more than 70 points.
