Assignments

Here is an outline for a pipeline of how to turn in beautiful assignments. It mainly relies on using Overleaf as the LaTeX editor. This can all be done in Microsoft Word, but I think LaTeX is a great skill to know and have if ever needed. If you ever need to figure out something with LaTeX, I recommend just searching “Overleaf latex problem”. Overleaf has great documentation about how to do many things in it’s platform.

Python

There are many ways to do steps 1-4, but I outline how to do using Anaconda Navigator and Visual Studio Code as IDEs/code editors. All resources are free.

1. Finalize .ipynb code.
2. Open Anaconda Navigator.
3. Launch Jupyter Notebooks and navigate to assignment .ipynb.
4. Print (Command + P or Ctrl + P) > Save as PDF.
5. Open Overleaf and create a new project (e.g. document) (feel free to use this LaTeX outline).
6. Add answers to answers and figures via LaTeX code.
7. Upload figures and code PDF.
   • I recommend creating a new folder so the project workspace doesn’t get crazy.
8. Compile.
   • This is when you will see the figures start to show up in the document preview.

MATLAB

This is all a bit simplier in MATLAB.

1. Finalize .mlx code.
2. Save > Export to PDF.
3. Open Overleaf and create a new project (e.g. document) (feel free to use this LaTeX outline).
4. Add answers and figures via LaTeX code.
5. Upload figures and code PDF.
   • I recommend creating a new folder so the project workspace doesn’t get crazy.
6. Compile.
