How to Download Lecture Material?
There are two methods of downloading the lecture material:
(1) SMA Stellar Website
(2) SSH to hydra.sma.nus.edu.sg with your user ID and password, go to /home/cme5232/lecture/ to download lecture materials.

The digest of the lectures will be available (few hours - few days) before the class of the corresponding lecture is conducted.
The slides of the lectures will only be available (few hours - few days) fafter class of the corresponding is conducted.

How to Download Computational Lab Material?
SSH to hydra.sma.nus.edu.sg with your user ID and password, go to /home/cme5232/clab/ to download computational lab materials.
For e.g.
(1) Download the softcopy of Computational Lab 1 assignment from /home/cme5232/clab/clab1/
(2) Download the gven sample code for question 2 of Computational Lab 1 from /home/cme5232/clab/clab1/qn2/

The materials of the compulational lab will be available (few hours - 1 day) before the corresponding lab is conducted.

How to Submit Assignment?
For each computational lab, the students are required to submit
(1) Hardcopy of the formal report
(2) Softcopy of the source code written for all the questions

The formal report should be short but complete. It should be clearly written to show what you have done and you have observed and interpreted from the assigned exercises and programming assignment. All equations, symbols, etc. if any should be explained clearly. Please write down your name, matriculation number, NUS/NTU email address and date of submission on top of the 1st page of your formal report.

- Please organize your source code according to the following format:
Say you are working on Computatational Lab 1, you should create a "clab1" folder. If "qn4.c"/"qn4.cpp" is your solution code for question 4, you should create a "qn4" folder inside the "clab1" folder and then then put "qn4.c"/"qn4.cpp" inside "qn4" folder.

There are two teaching assistants (TAs) in this course:
(1) Huynh Le Ngoc Thanh - TA for Lab 1-3
(2) Dominic D J Chandar - TA for Lab 4-6

- How to submit assignment for Lab 1-3 to Huynh Le Ngoc Thanh (g0501972@nus.edu.sg)?

Student Type	Assignment Submission Method
SMA Student	- Submit the hardcopy of your report to me (after the lab) or put it on the table of my cubicle "SMA 10" in the SMA Athenum. - Zip your "clab#" folder to "clab#.zip", and paste it to \\ngocthanh\cme5232\your_email_account
Non-SMA Student	- Either submit the hardcopy of your report like SMA students, or email the softcopy to g0501972@nus.edu.sg. - Zip your "clab#" folder to "clab#.zip", and email "clab#.zip" to g0501972@nus.edu.sg.

- How to submit assignment for Lab 4-6 to Dominic D J Chandar (domi0002@ntu.edu.sg)?

Student Type

Assignment Submission Method

All Student

- Either submit the hardcopy of your report (after lab) ) or email the softcopy to domi0002@ntu.edu.sg.
- Zip your "clab#" folder to "clab#.zip", and email "clab#.zip" to domi0002@ntu.edu.sg
