Required Textbook
Allan R. Hambley, Electrical Engineering Principals and Applications, Fifth Edition, Pearson, Prentice Hall, 2011 ISBN-13: 978-0-13-213006-6; ISBN-10: 0-13-213006-8.

Course Website
All lecture notes, homework assignments and solutions, exams and solutions, and this course syllabus will be available on the Moodle course web site. It is your responsibility to download the required material from the course website. In addition, the discussion board on the course web site will be used to post important discussion notes and announcements regarding this course. Please check this discussion board regularly (before each class) during the semester.

Grading:
Homework: 10% (Note; 50% penalty for an assignment submitted late. No assignments will be accepted after the first class past the original due date) Problem of the Week 15% Quiz One 15% Quiz Two 15% Quiz Three 15% Comprehensive Final Exam 30%

Important Notes; 1. Your overall grade will be based upon the lecture and lab parts of this course. The lecture part of this course will be two-thirds of your grade and the lab part of this course will be one-third of your grade 2. Homeworks are graded based upon completion (effort and complete and timely submission) and not on whether the answer is correct or incorrect 3. The Problem of the Week will be graded on correctness (correct answer and supporting work is required for full credit). The Problem of the Week is an individual (and not a group) assignment. Do not work (or consult) with anyone on the Problem of the Week 4. Do not submit someone elses homework or Problem of the Week if they are absent. If you are unable to attend class, please contact me. 5. Grades for the homework assignments, problems of the week, quizzes, and final exam will be posted on the course web site and can be viewed in the My Grades section of the web site. You can appeal any grade; please contact me and we can review the grading. However the request to review the grade must be made two weeks from the original posting of the grade. No reviews will be scheduled after this two week appeal period 6. Your graded work (homeworks, problems of the week, and quizzes) will be available in Burchard Room 212. Please go to this room to collect your graded work. (Cabinet on the right as you enter the office) 7. All assignments (homeworks and problems of the week) must contain a completed cover sheet (including signature, printing of your last name and first name, and section). This cover sheet must be stapled to your answer sheets. A cover sheet will be provided for each assignment. The weekly homework assignment and problem of the week will have separate cover sheets and are to be submitted separately. A submission which does not have a completed cover sheet stapled to your work will be returned with a grade of zero.
