All exams and quizzes are open book, open notes.
Students
missing an exam or the final without
notifying
the instructor in advance can expect to get a zero. At the
instructor's
option make-ups will be available, but will be harder.
Make-ups
will be given on Friday, December 15th, at 1600 hours.
No make up quizzes will be given. Grade Scale: 90/80/70 % = A/B/C etc. initially. The final break
points
will be curved. Cheating: Don't do it.
All graded quizzes & tests should be your own
work. Expect to get an 'F' for the course if caught cheating. Required Text: None. We'll be using the draft of a text book
that Dr. Yarlagadda is currently writing. A $10 fee will be
required to inadequately cover the cost of a xerox copy. Pay
Barbara at the front desk in ES202.
Extra credit will be awarded
for finding errors in the draft text or problem solutions. Up to
25 points can be earned for reporting grammatical errors (1 pt per
error), and an additional 25 points can be earned for finding math
errors (points vary depending upon the magnitude of the found error). Course Objectives: To provide basic knowledge regarding signal
analysis and analog communications. Prerequisites: ECEN 3713
