Procedures:
If you decide to stop taking a class it is
your responsibility to officially drop it before the deadlines given in
the class schedule. If you do not take the time to drop and
remain on the roll you will not be happy with the result: a failing
grade.
Bring your scientific calculator for
use at each session.
Expect a test at the end of each
week's lecture period. There are no makeup tests. Tests
count as a zero if missed. However, one test grade – the one with
the lowest score - (not including the "midterm test" or final exam)
will be dropped in figuring the test average. Although these
tests stress the new material covered during the previous week, there
will be questions and problems on the test that rely upon knowledge
gained in the weeks before. The midterm exam will cover all the
material up to that point. However, it counts the same as a
weekly test except that it will not be dropped in averaging the total
score. These weekly tests and midterm will count as 75% of the
course grade.
The comprehensive final exam
contributes the final 25% to the course grade. Regardless of your
performance up to the final, you must take the final exam to receive a
passing grade in the class.
Tests and exams are closed book,
closed notes. However, the privilege is extended of using a
single 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of your own written notes that you have
expressly prepared while studying may be used for reference during any
test or exam.
Doing practice problems helps to
ensure success in this class.
Suggested homework problems are assigned to help. Although not
collected for grade credit, very similar problems may be found on the
tests!
EL6B is the accompanying lab for this
course and you
should be concurrently enrolled in this lab class as it is important in
progressing to more advanced classes towards a certificate or degree in
electronics.
As a courtesy please deactivate
any cell phone or
pager ringers so as to prevent disruption to others in the class.
