ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note on your portfolio, the only things you really have to have in your portfolio are the things listed below in the "In your Portfolio" column, that said, I would like it if you wanted to include exercises we do in class, notes from the class, or assignments you do elsewhere where you use techniques learned in this class, or interesting articles or papers you read about the topics, but it's up to you.

The portfolio is collected on the last week, and it is the key examinable item for the class, so I won't be able to return them back to you, so please take copies of stuff you want to keep.
