5. Syllabus OFFICE HOURS Please do not hesitate to meet with me if you are having difficulty with any of the material in the course. Besides the posted office hours, I am more than willing to meet with you at another mutually convenient time. GRADING The final grade will be determined as follows. Assignments: 20 % Electronic Lab Notebook and Lab Performance: 20 % 1 Lab Report: 20 % 2 Exams (Mid-Term and Lab Final): 20 % each ECE 3450 M. A. Jupina, VU, 2014

6. Syllabus EXAMS Two exams will be given during the semester. A mid-term exam and a final lab exam will be given. The exams will be based on projects throughout the semester and will include material from the lectures, assignments, textbook, and practicums. ATTENDANCE Attendance is required for all practicums and will be taken via an attendance sheet. Permission for an excused absence from a session will be granted only for the most serious personal emergency. It is solely your responsibility to schedule with the TA a time to make up work of any excused absence session. Most importantly, you are NOT permitted to use your partner's results should you miss a practicum session for any reason. For each unexcused practicum absence, your final grade will be lowered by 7 points. RULES OF CONDUCT Serious violations include late arrival; unsafe practices; eating food, drinking a beverage, or chewing gum in the laboratory; unauthorized or recreational use of computers; and misuse or abuse of equipment. A serious violation or repeated minor violations of any rule will result in a deduction of 5 points from the final grade per offense. ECE 3450 M. A. Jupina, VU, 2014

7. Syllabus ASSIGNMENT DEADLINES The submission deadlines of assignments and lab reports will be announced by the instructor. Pre-lab assignments will be collected before the start of the practicum only and will not be accepted after this time period. These assignments are meant to prepare you for each lab session. A late submission of a lab report or non-pre-lab assignments will be assessed a 33% penalty per business week. ELECTRONIC NOTEBOOK You are required to maintain an electronic notebook for lab. All entries into the notebook are to be recorded as the measurements are performed. Various software tools, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Matlab, and Quartus II, will be used to create the electronic work (Cntl-Print Screen can be used to capture the work). Each page of the notebook is to be dated and numbered, and an index at the beginning of the notebook should be created. Pre-lab assignments, calculations, simulations, circuit diagrams, data (tables and graphs), observations, and conclusions are to be recorded in this electronic notebook. The final version of the electronic notebook will be an Adobe PDF file (pdf only, no word doc files accepted) submitted via Blackboard Learn to the instructor by the due date given at the end of the semester.
