Laboratory Assignments
Students must work in groups of two for laboratory assignments. However, students have the option of working on their own if computing resources permit. You must choose your lab partner(s) during the first scheduled lab period and inform your TA of your selection. Your lab partner will remain the same for the duration of the semester. Please choose your lab partner wisely.
A laboratory lecture will be provided on the first scheduled day for each lab assignment to present the lab assignment and detail what is required for that assignment. Each lab assignment (except for Lab 1) will have a pre-lab due at the beginning of the first scheduled day and a code-check due on the assigned day. The point values for each pre-lab assignment and code-check will be specified within each lab assignment.
All Verilog files for each lab assignment must be submitted via D2L to designated dropbox. The Verilog code must be submitted by 11:59PM on the Friday of the week each lab assignment is due. Only one code submission is required per group. Be sure to include the name of all students within your groups in the comments at the top of each submitted file and follow the style guidelines discussed in lecture and lab assignments. If you do not submit your code, you will lose 20% from your lab grade. If you code does not adhere the Verilog formatting and style guidelines, you will lose 5% from your lab grade.
Labs must be finished on-time within your own scheduled lab section. NO LATE labs be accepted. NO extensions will be made for any lab assignments.
