Keeping students engaged with MATLAB competitions using MATLAB Grader

Assignments, quizzes, midterms, finals, grades, joys of success, the anxiety of low grades. Sounds like a typical cycle that students go through, right? Sometimes, all that hustle and bustle makes students forget that coding could be fun! Dr. Amin Rahman teaches AMATH 301 at the University of Washington. Many engineering students take this course and learn MATLAB in the course. He was looking for ways to keep students engaged and remind them that coding is fun. To achieve this goal Dr. Rahman and I set up a small competition in MATLAB Grader. Dr. Rahman selected several problems from MATLAB Grader problem collections. Students competed in this optional competition without the pressure of grades. They submitted their solutions; their submissions were automatically graded using MATLAB Grader and they got instant feedback. Green checkmarks for the correct answers empowered students and gamified coding. With the feedback they got, they continuously improved their code.

Prizes? Aside from the joys of coding in MATLAB, students won MathWorks-branded items like t-shirts, hats, and bags and proudly wore them as you can see in Dr. Rahman’s tweet.

Interested in using MATLAB Grader? Interested in accessing MATLAB Grader problem collections? Like to brainstorm ideas to make coding more fun? Reach out to us! We are here to help. Any creative ideas to make courses more engaging? Please share your ideas with this community!

Mathworks: it's time for a dark theme.

This is not a question, but a point of discussion for the entire community. I am aware that every 1/2 months this theme comes out, but until this is not fixed it is totally necessary that this comes, indeed, out. And I said "fix" because Mathworks has to understand that a dark theme is not only a visual/aesthetic matter, it is a substantial part of the game. Most of the OS, GUIs, programs are actually in dark mode, and a vast majority of the users makes indeed use of a global dark mode. How much one does like it is personal, but the benefits to power savings and eye health is instead a fact. Mathworks being ignoring this for years is nothing but ridiculous. Of course it is not an easy task, but every minute of committment for it is worthy. And nope, Schemer is not helpful because it does not provide a real fix to this question.
I feel free to suggest something similar to the Spyder's dark theme, which came out like 2 years ago if I remember correctly.
Of course, my point is not being disrespectful (I am instead very respectful to the huge efforts of Mathworks for making this wonderful program run). But, form a user's point of view, the fact that not a single word has so far come out from Mathworks about a dark theme (meaning that for sure we will not see it in a timing of months) requires us to put a strong pressure on this.
Mathworks, please: it's time for a dark theme.

Submit solution for cody but my code has a built-in function

Hi everyone
I am a new of this community and I very interested in this forum and Matlab.I am trying to submit a soultion but as tiltle my code has a built-in function so the test systerm dont reconisie it.It run completely ok on my computer.
This is problem
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/cody/problems/45196-determine-whether-a-given-point-is-inside-or-outside-a-polygon/solutions/new
This is my solution
function [boOut] = BoIfPointInPoly(PolyMatrix,p_test)
%Summary of this function goes here
%{
if we draw a line from test point to a central point of a side of The polygon
then we extend that line to the furthest point of the polygon ensure that
line go through all side of Polygon in 1 direction.I call that line is line_test
Next find number of intersert of line test and all sides w polyxpoly
function
num interset point is odd mean p_test inside
num interset point is even mean p_test outside
this solution go from the concept that if a line go in from a side it has go out
from other side.So if it go in but not go out that mean it start from
inside.
%}
% Detailed explanation goes here
%line from p test throuh central of a side to furthest point of polygon
%find vector
V = ((PolyMatrix(1,:) + PolyMatrix(2,:)) /2) - p_test ;
%draw that vector to furtest point
pend = p_test + V * max(PolyMatrix(:));
%with multi of V and biggest element I assume that line will go all out the
%polygon which ensure out logic will right
line_test = [p_test ; pend];
disp('Our line test\n');
disp(line_test);
%find interst point
p_inter = polyxpoly(PolyMatrix(:,1),PolyMatrix(:,2),line_test(:,1),line_test(:,2));
%find number of interset (row)
[numIntere,trash] = size(p_inter);
disp('Number of interest point:');
disp(numIntere);
%determine in or out
if (rem(numIntere,2) == 0)
boOut = 0;
else
boOut = 1;
end
end
Can anyone has solution.

TUTORIAL: Comma-Separated Lists and How to Use Them

Introduction
Comma-separated lists are really very simple. You use them all the time. Here is one:
a,b,c,d
That is a comma-separated list containing four variables, the variables a, b, c, and d. Every time you write a list separated by commas then you are writing a comma-separated list. Most commonly you would write a comma-separated list as inputs when calling a function:
fun(a,b,c,d)
or as arguments to the concatenation operator or cell construction operator:
[a,b,c,d]
{a,b,c,d}
or as function outputs:
[a,b,c,d] = fun();
It is very important to understand that in general a comma-separated list is NOT one variable (but it could be). However, sometimes it is useful to create a comma-separated list from one variable (or define one variable from a comma-separated list), and MATLAB has several ways of doing this from various container array types:
1) from a field of a structure array using dot-indexing:
struct_array.field % all elements
struct_array(idx).field % selected elements
2) from a cell array using curly-braces:
cell_array{:} % all elements
cell_array{idx} % selected elements
3) from a string array using curly-braces:
string_array{:} % all elements
string_array{idx} % selected elements
Note that in all cases, the comma-separated list consists of the content of the container array, not subsets (or "slices") of the container array itself (use parentheses to "slice" any array). In other words, they will be equivalent to writing this comma-separated list of the container array content:
content1, content2, content3, .. , contentN
and will return as many content arrays as the original container array has elements (or that you select using indexing, in the requested order). A comma-separated list of one element is just one array, but in general there can be any number of separate arrays in the comma-separated list (zero, one, two, three, four, or more). Here is an example showing that a comma-separated list generated from the content of a cell array is the same as a comma-separated list written explicitly:
>> C = {1,0,Inf};
>> C{:}
ans =
1
ans =
0
ans =
Inf
>> 1,0,Inf
ans =
1
ans =
0
ans =
Inf
How to Use Comma-Separated Lists
Function Inputs: Remember that every time you call a function with multiple input arguments you are using a comma-separated list:
fun(a,b,c,d)
and this is exactly why they are useful: because you can specify the arguments for a function or operator without knowing anything about the arguments (even how many there are). Using the example cell array from above:
>> vertcat(C{:})
ans =
1
0
Inf
which, as we should know by now, is exactly equivalent to writing the same comma-separated list directly into the function call:
>> vertcat(1,0,Inf)
ans =
1
0
Inf
How can we use this? Commonly these are used to generate vectors of values from a structure or cell array, e.g. to concatenate the filenames which are in the output structure of dir:
S = dir(..);
F = {S.name}
which is simply equivalent to
F = {S(1).name, S(2).name, S(3).name, .. , S(end).name}
Or, consider a function with multiple optional input arguments:
opt = {'HeaderLines',2, 'Delimiter',',', 'CollectOutputs',true);
fid = fopen(..);
C = textscan(fid,'%f%f',opt{:});
fclose(fid);
Note how we can pass the optional arguments as a comma-separated list. Remember how a comma-separated list is equivalent to writing var1,var2,var3,..., then the above example is really just this:
C = textscan(fid,'%f%f', 'HeaderLines',2, 'Delimiter',',', 'CollectOutputs',true)
with the added advantage that we can specify all of the optional arguments elsewhere and handle them as one cell array (e.g. as a function input, or at the top of the file). Or we could select which options we want simply by using indexing on that cell array. Note that varargin and varargout can also be useful here.
Function Outputs: In much the same way that the input arguments can be specified, so can an arbitrary number of output arguments. This is commonly used for functions which return a variable number of output arguments, specifically ind2sub and gradient and ndgrid. For example we can easily get all outputs of ndgrid, for any number of inputs (in this example three inputs and three outputs, determined by the number of elements in the cell array):
C = {1:3,4:7,8:9};
[C{:}] = ndgrid(C{:});
which is thus equivalent to:
[C{1},C{2},C{3}] = ndgrid(C{1},C{2},C{3});

Summary
Just remember that in general a comma-separated list is not one variable (although they can be), and that they are exactly what they say: a list (of arrays) separated with commas. You use them all the time without even realizing it, every time you write this:
fun(a,b,c,d)

Teaching MATLAB and Python side by side online or in-person

In many universities, introductory programming is taught as a foundation course. Students from different departments are usually brought together to learn to program in these foundation courses. Their home departments may have a programming language preference and that preference may change from department to department. Some universities either strictly teach one language in a single course, some of them teach multiple languages in the same course and give students the flexibility to choose their language for the assignments and projects. How can we make students multilingual when it comes to programming? Is there a way to teach multiple languages in a fair light, side by side without creating a new course or sacrificing one language to teach the other one? Dr. Nathan Kutz from the University of Washington found a creative way to teach MATLAB and Python side by side in his AMATH 301 course. This course is an introductory programming course at the University of Washington and almost all engineering students take it. Do you wonder how Dr. Kutz taught this course? Check out these recordings and course resources! They can be utilized in an in-person or a distance learning setting:

Are you looking for ways to keep your students engaged in a virtual setting? Would you like to spice up your courses with hands-on projects? Using Arduino Engineering Kit, you can achieve these. Due to COVID-19, many instructors started to look for creative ways of giving students a lab experience. Some of them chose to create virtual labs, some of them designed hardware projects with low-cost hardware or integrated hardware projects kits to their curriculum. If you are interested in how Dr. Azadi from San Francisco State University used Arduino Engineering Kit during the pandemic to teach his Mechatronics course, check out these articles:

Creating a Problem Group in MATLAB cody.

I need to put a number of problems on MATLAB cody under same Problem group, as many other people have done.
Can anyone please help me on this.

Several educators worldwide use MATLAB Grader to scale assessments and automatically grade MATLAB coding assignments. MATLAB Grader can be used in any learning environment, for both formative assessments with automated feedback and summative assessments, such as quizzes and exams.

Educators often revise and update their MATLAB Grader problems. They may sometimes want to revisit a past version of a problem, such as to debug an assessment test error. Instructor users can now browse the version history for a specific problem and see draft and final versions.

Note that the versions are read-only and rollback is not supported at this time. However, you can copy code or descriptions and update the problem accordingly.

Get started with MATLAB Grader. If you are new to it, watch the MATLAB Grader Overview video and try the interactive Teaching with MATLAB online course (Section 6 is about MATLAB Grader).

What should go in a next-generation MATLAB X?

Let's say MathWorks decides to create a MATLAB X release, which takes a big one-time breaking change that abandons back-compatibility and creates a more modern MATLAB language, ditching the unfortunate stuff that's around for historical reasons. What would you like to see in it?
I'm thinking stuff like syntax and semantics tweaks, changes to function behavior and interfaces in the standard library and Toolboxes, and so on.
(The "X" is for major version 10, like in "OS X". Matlab is still on version 9.x even though we use "R20xxa" release names now.)
What should you post where?
Wishlist threads (#1 #2 #3 #4 #5): bugs and feature requests for Matlab Answers
Frustation threads (#1 #2): frustrations about usage and capabilities of Matlab itself
Missing feature threads (#1 #2): features that you whish Matlab would have had
Next Gen threads (#1): features that would break compatibility with previous versions, but would be nice to have
@anyone posting a new thread when the last one gets too large (about 50 answers seems a reasonable limit per thread), please update this list in all last threads. (if you don't have editing privileges, just post a comment asking someone to do the edit)

MATLAB Mobile makes it convenient to learn and teach in disciplines requiring computational thinking, such as mathematics, science, and engineering. It can also be used for virtual labs by acquiring smartphone sensor data. As an instructor, you can author examples in MATLAB and demonstrate them on your smartphone or tablet. Students can follow along on their mobile device or tablet to instantly connect results to the concepts they are learning. This is especially relevant for distance learning, where some students may have limited or no access to a full-fledged computer.

Educators make their course material more interactive, promote self-directed learning, and increase student engagement through Live Editor. You can now run and edit live scripts on iOS and Android devices.

Get MATLAB Mobile on the Play Store or App Store, or learn how to teach using Live Scripts.

Nowadays, many instructors are integrating AI to their courses. In a distance learning setting, the hardware students use to train their models vary. Training time of the deep learning models can be shortened with a pool of GPUs, CPUs or a pool of CPUs and GPUs locally or in the cloud. Accuracy of the results can depend on the hyperparameters used to train the models.

In MATLAB, Experiment Manager (introduced in R2020a) makes it easy to train networks with various hyperparameters and compare the results. Different models can be run in parallel by clicking on “Use Parallel” button in Experiment Manager App. But what if your computer has multiple CPU cores and a GPU? Would you be able to use Experiment Manager with a pool of CPUs and a GPU? The answer is “yes”. For example, my computer has 1 NVIDIA GPU and an 8 core CPU. To use all these computational resources, I typed these lines in my command window in MATLAB:

parpool(9);
spmd
if labindex==1
gpuDevice(1); %select GPU on worker 1
else
gpuDevice([]); %deselect GPU on remaining workers
end

Then, I clicked on “Use Parallel” button in Experiment Manager and used a modified setup function in Experiment Manager to change the execution environment from CPU to GPU:

if isempty(parallel.gpu.GPUDeviceManager.instance.SelectedDevice)
options=trainingOptions(~,"ExecutionEnvironment",'cpu');
else
options=trainingOptions(~,"ExecutionEnvironment",'gpu');
end

Default training options automatically use an NVIDIA GPU if there is one, and specific hardware can be selected using “ExecutionEnvironment” in the trainingOptions.

If you like to learn more about the fundamentals of parallel computing, check out “Parallel Computing Fundamentals” on our documentation and gain some hands-on experience with Parallel Computing through "Parallel Computing Hands-On Workshop" .

Educators use MATLAB Grader to automatically grade MATLAB code, to provide feedback to their students and to scale assessments for large lectures. If you use MATLAB Grader in our browser-based environment at grader.mathworks.com you can view various individual and aggregate student performance analytics. You can export the MATLAB Grader Assignment Report to analyze your student’s performance in more detail:

To make things easy for you, we provide a utility to create customizable assignment reports from the MATLAB Grader Assignment Report. With this utility you can quickly make lists of students with a metric that defines how well they solved the problems within the assignment. You can explore the number of problems each student solved correctly, calculate the mean percentage score they received for the problems or specify points per problem and calculate the points they scored on the assignment.

Please download the utility Customizable Assignment Report for MATLAB Grader from File Exchange. If you are new to MATLAB Grader, watch the MATLAB Grader Overview video and try the interactive Teaching with MATLAB online course (Section 6 is about MATLAB Grader).

An earlier tip suggested using MATLAB Drive to share and collaborate with others using MATLAB Online or MATLAB on desktop systems. Starting in MATLAB R2021a, there is yet another advantage of using this approach – the 'matlabdrive' function returns the path to the folder that contains the content of your MATLAB Drive.

After sharing their files, instructors sometimes direct students to navigate to a specified folder or add certain folders to the MATLAB search path. This ensures that MATLAB can discover the scripts, functions, and other files contained within. Since the MATLAB Drive folder may be installed in different locations on each users’ computer, this could not be done programmatically. Unfortunately, students may miss these instructions and encounter errors. The same can happen between peers working in groups.

Add the matlabdrive function in your code to obtain the path of the MATLAB Drive folder. You can then use functions cd and fullfile to navigate directly to that location or a subfolder. With addpath, you can also add these to the MATLAB search path. For example,

>> drivePath = matlabdrive 
drivePath = 'C:\Users\username\MATLAB Drive' 

>> folderPath = fullfile(matlabdrive, ‘myfolder’) 
folderPath = 'C:\Users\username\MATLAB Drive\myfolder’ 

>> cd(folderPath)	% Change current folder to ‘myfolder’ in MATLAB Drive

You can run matlabdrive from your desktop or from other MATLAB environments such as MATLAB Online. On desktop systems, you must have MATLAB Drive Connector installed. If MATLAB is unable to find the MATLAB Drive folder, matlabdrive returns an error.
