Prerequisites: ECE 275 or permission
Credits: 3 credits
Grading:
+/-- grades
Grades are based on the following: Homework and Labs -- 30%, Two prelims (about Feb. 13 and Mar. 30) and quizzes/attendance -- 45%, Final -- 25%
No make-up for missed exams or quizzes. Plan to be there.
Credit will be deducted for: Late homework or labs, unexcused lab cuts, excessive class cuts.
Labs: This course will include a weekly lab. In most cases (especially later labs) you are required to do a considerable portion of the work before coming to lab. In these cases up to 60% of the lab grade will be based on what you have done by the beginning of the lab period.
Labs will be in the computer cluster in 225 Barrows. The lab is open for general use 8:00 am to 2:10 pm Mon.-Fri. and is reserved for specific sections of ECE 271 lab 2:10 pm to 5:00 pm M-Th.
Note: You need to have an ECE Dept. user name and password to use the computers in 225 Barrows. Most of you probably already have this. If not then see the instructor.
