  • Develop ability to apply circuit analysis techniques to simple RLC and op-amp circuits;

  • Develop ability to develop and solve circuit analysis problems.
    (ABET outcomes: a, c, e, i)

 

General Policies

  • Class attendance is mandatory.  You will need to sign attendance sheet every class, which will affect your final grade.

  • It is strongly encouraged to get to know each other in the class.  Discussions on course materials are allowed! 

  • Everyone must turn in her/his own individual homework.  Simply copying other’s homework will be treated as a violation of academic honesty. 

  • It is the responsibility of students with certified disabilities to provide the instructor with appropriate documentation from the Dean of Students Office (see http://www.unt.edu/oda).

  • Please visit http://www.unt.edu/csrr/ for your rights and responsibilities.

 

Grading Policies

  • Attendance, 5%

  • Homework, 20%

  • Two Mid-term Exams, 50% (25% for each)

  • Final Exam, 25%
     

  • Homework is due every Thursday before class.

  • Late homework will be accepted with penalty and make-up exams will not be given except in extenuating circumstances.

 

Course Outline and Tentative Schedule

  • Please do the reading before the class!  You will learn much more effectively that way.
