  Lecture Schedule

bullet

The syllabus (Course Inforamtion Form) given to students at the beginning of the semester.

bullet

The lecture and lab schedules given in the syllabus are tentative and updated here weekly. Look at this table once a week.

bullet

Almost all the slides used during the semester will be available via the following links or given to you.

bullet

I may skip several slides during the lecture (The slides given would be generally too much!). They are included in the course material for completeness and to provide a good reference for your future professional engineering life.

bullet

To follow the lecture and understand the materials presented in class better, get the lecture slides and take the print-outs of them, and please bring them to class.

bullet

Purposes for bringing slides to class: 1) To allow better concentration in lecture by reducing note-taking pressure and to provide a study-aid before and after lecture.

bullet

2) You can take your notes on these slides and be active during the lecture. You digest material much better when you actively take notes from step-to-step demonstrations given by your instructor than by just sitting and watching slides.

bullet

Disclaimers: (a) I may not follow these slides exactly in class (b) I may also use the whiteboard and give some extra notes which will not be posted here as needed in class (c) Students are responsible for what I say and teach in class. (d) Reading these slides is not a substitute for attending lecture

  Grading

bullet

In order to pass EEE 251, students must show minimum competence in the exams. Any student who does not have a weighted average of 35.0 or greater for midterm and final exams will receive an automatic grade of FF, for lack of minimum competence.
The weighted average will be calculated as follows: (0.25 x Midterm Exams + 0.35 x Final Exam) / 0.60

bullet

Attendance: Students who fail to attend at least 70% of the classes will receive a grade of FF.
Students must not miss more than 2 lab sessions (80% of the lab sessions), or they will receive a grade of FF.

bullet

Students who meet the above requirements will have their numerical course average calculated with the following weights:
Labs:                    30%
Homework:          10%
Midterm Exam1:  10%
Midterm Exam2:  15%
Final Exam:          35%

bullet

From the numerical course average grades, the students who meet the above two requirements, letter grades ranging from AA to FF will be determined in the usual way (taking into account overall performance and distribution of the scores, class and lab participation and effort, as well as the attendance (in class and lab) of the student.

bullet

We will be very careful in grading the labs, homework assignments, exams so that everybody gets the grade that he/she deserves. Copying will not be tolerated and will be checked and punished rigorously.
