(1 week) Grading: Class Performance 10 pts Homework 90 pts Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Final 200 pts Total 600 pts - Letter grades with + and - will be determined from each student s standing in comparison with the total distribution within this section. - In addition to passing the course by the numerical grading scheme above, each student must demonstrate a minimum level of competency in each Course Outcome as defined in our ABET Accreditation standards. No student may pass the course until s/he has satisfied each criterion.
Homework: - Homework assignments will be due approximately in each class. - Late homework will NOT be accepted. - Homework is due at the beginning of the class on the due date. - Homework is distributed by Prof. Jiao s secretary, Dee Dee Dexter, at MSEE 230. - Please write your solutions legibly and in an organized manner so that the graders can follow your work easily, and, where possible, draw a box around your final answer. - You may work together as you solve your homework problems, as this can be an effective means of learning the material. If you do work in a group, be sure that the solution you turn in is your own work. This is the only way to learn the material. - Homework solutions are posted on the course web page in the section of Handouts. - Cheating in homework will result in a zero credit for the entire assignment. For example, you will receive a zero credit for homework submissions which appear to be copies of each other. - We will drop your lowest 4 homework scores before we compute scores at the end of the semester. This policy provides a buffer for any homework assignments you might miss due to illness, late starts, or any other valid or invalid reason, or allows you to dodge the consequences of one or two bad homeworks. We will not judge the validity of your reasons, but will automatically drop your two lowest scores. Since we will drop these lowest scores, we will not accept homework submitted beyond the deadlines stated above, even if you have a legitimate reason. Quizzes: - Quizzes will count as extra credit with maximum of 20 points. - There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes. - Quiz time will not be announced in advance. Exams: - There will be three one-hour midterms and one (longer) final exam. The time and location for the midterms will be forthcoming. As of now, we have Date Time Material Covered Locations Exam 1 9/17 (Tue) 6:30-7:30 pm lectures 1-11, chapters 1-3,5.1-5.5 LILY 1105 Exam 2 10/15 (Tue) 8-9 pm lectures 12-21, chapters 6.1-8.7 LILY 1105 Exam 3 11/12 (Tue) 8-9 pm lectures 22-33, chapters 9.1-9.4, 4, EE 129 Final Exam To be announced 6.4, 8.8 and 10.1-10.8 Review Sessions: There will be a general review before each scheduled exam. The time and location are listed below. There is no review before the Final Exam. Date and Time Locations Review Session 1 9/16 (Mon), 7-9 pm FRNY G140 and MATH 175 Review Session 2 10/14 (Mon), 7-9 pm FRNY G140 and ME 1061 Review Session 3 11/11 (Mon), 7-9 pm WTHR 200
Make-up Exam Policy: - There will be NO make-up tests. You will not be allowed to make up the exam if you missed it. - A missed exam will result in a score of ZERO on the missed exam. Regrading Policy: All requests for regrading must be submitted in writing within one week from the date the exam is returned. Academic Dishonesty: - Cheating on homework or exams will result in a zero for the assignment or exam - as a minimum - and could result in a failing grade for the course, at the discretion of your professor. In addition, each case will be referred to the Dean of Students. - Some examples of this type of behavior are: (a) Submitting homework solutions which are not your own. While we encourage you to work together, your work should not be a copy of your partner s. (b) Sharing results or notes during exams. (c) Using notes (hardcopy or electronic) during exams. (d) Continuing work on your exam after we have called for papers. (e) Requesting a regrade on an exam that has been altered. Course Outcomes: A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated: (i) (ii) (iii) An ability to analyze linear resistive circuits. [a,e,k] An ability to analyze 1st order linear circuits with sources and/or passive elements. [a,e,k] An ability to analyze 2nd order linear circuits with sources and/or passive elements. [a,e,k] You will have more than one opportunity to satisfy each of these Course Outcomes. The primary means will be through the regular hourly and final exams. We will write questions for each exam around each of the Course Outcomes. You will satisfy each Course Outcome when your score for the test question(s) equals or exceeds a value we specify as representing a minimal competency. If you fail to meet this level of minimal competency on a specific Course Outcome, you will have a second chance, typically on later exams that cover overlapping materials. Class Attendance: Your attendance at class is important. If you must miss class, you are responsible for any material, information, handouts, announcements, quizzes, etc. you missed. Late arrivals and early departures are very disruptive (not to mention rude), so it is important to keep these to a minimum.
Students with documented disabilities: Students with disabilities must be registered with Adaptive Programs in the Office of the Dean of Students before classroom accommodations can be provided. If you are eligible for academic accommodations because you have a documented disability that will impact your work in this class, please schedule an appointment with your instructor as soon as possible to discuss your needs. On Campus Emergency: In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. In such an event, information will be provided through course website or emails.
