EE:131-501 Lesson Schedule, SP/02 |
Following is the approximate lesson schedule for the above class, semester and teacher. These lessons may be interpreted as reading assignments which the students are expected to study before the topics are covered in class. Laboratory assignments are expected to be performed during the week assigned, and the reports are due at the beginning of the lab period the following week. There will be a penalty for late reports.
Students are advised to carefully study the contents of the EE:131 course index and course syllabus so they will understand their responsibilities in this class. Students are responsible for understanding the contents of these documents.
Instead of in-class quizzes, the points defined in the "Classroom Policies" handout will be earned by submitting signed score sheets from the "Current Maker" program. Each student's signature on a score sheet is a personal guarantee that the work it reports was performed by that student alone with no outside assistance. Failure to honor this system is grounds for disciplinary action.
