Grading: Your assignments should be posted on a webpage, rather than turned in during class. Post your pictures, answers and graphs in an easy-to-read style. We will be grading you on content, so do not feel pressured to make the most beautiful website imaginable. However, it must be clear and functional: if we cannot find your assignment, we cannot grade you.There is available space on the APh 162 file server, snowdome.caltech.edu (see a TA for info) or you may use your ITS personal space. Some of you may also find http://templates.caltech.edu to be helpful. Before the 1st assignment is due, send a link to your webpage to all the TAs. Please keep notebooks of your work in this course. Each session must have: the date, a title, your purpose, materials and methods and results.
