Submit each project by sending email to
rubin@science.oregonstate.edu
with attached report or with the URL for your report.
(Blackboard submission is less reliable.) A compiled language
should be used for the projects.
Ph 464 students may do additional 564
problems for
extra credit. Make sure to include all required elements. |
