1. Welcome
to the Pierce College Electronics
Department. If for any reason you have to drop this
class, please follow the drop procedures. Students that stop
coming to class are NOT automatically excluded.
If you plan to stop attending, it is your responsibility to drop the
class
to avoid a failing grade.
2. Expect a
quiz each week with material taken from both lecture and lab.
3. NO MAKEUP
QUIZZES. One missed quiz due to justifiable absence will be
dropped. Other missed quizzes count as 0. Instructor MAY drop
other missed quizzes for serious and unavoidable reasons beyond the
control of the student.
4. Lab
grade: All hardware and software assigned labs must be completed,
demonstrated to, and signed by the instructor, and a report showing
machine language programs, flow charts and comments must be submitted
for a lab
grade as follows:
Complete a lab

To succeed in lab, you must prepare by reading the
lab text and writing most programs before coming to lab.
The lab report presentation (neatness, organization,
completeness, and program flow charts & comments) must follow the
instructions as
described above.
5. Lecture
Grade: 75% quiz average, 25% final exam. If the final exam is not
taken at the scheduled time, the final grade will be a failure.
Each missed homework assignment reduces the final average by
2%. Late homework is not accepted. Homework is collected at
the beginning of class. Keep all quizzes and handouts.

Please consult the Pierce College Electronics Program web page for
catalog descriptions, course outlines, copies of syllabi and
other
important information.
7. Enjoy the
class! This class can be difficult if you do not spend
time
preparing for each class. You must study your notes and read the
text books in order to get the most out of this class. Do not
allow yourself to get behind in your studies because it can be
difficult to catch up.
