(Final Exam: Comprehensive, Noon – 13:50, Tuesday, May 12, 2015)

Course Grade:
 Midterm Exam 40%
 Final Exam 50%
 HMWK Every HMWK assignment is due one week after the
completion of its related materials.
 Project 10% (Due Date: Noon, Tuesday, May 12, 2015)

Course Policy:
 Homework assignments will be collected in the beginning of the class on their due dates and
will not be returned. They will be used to determine the marginal grades at the end of the
semester. They must be original. You must write and prepare them independently. Make
them easy to read and follow, use only one-sided 8½×11 engineering papers, staple them
together, and print your names legibly and completely with capital letters. Otherwise, they
may not be considered for marginal grades. Good efforts, completeness, neatness and
legibility will be the key factors. Use a computer software package to verify the solution of
the asterisked problems. Include the computer software command statements and output as
part of your homework solutions. You may use regular paper for computer printouts.
 For all exams, use one-sided 8½×11 engineering papers, staple them together and print your
names legibly and completely with capital letters. Otherwise, you may not receive any credit.
 The project must be completely typed. Type in the provided fields before printing. Any
required drawing, e.g., circuits, block diagram, etc., must be computer-generated. Regular
papers may be used for the project. Use the space provided for each part of the project.
Additional papers may be used if needed. Questions and/or concerns regarding the project are
addressed by the instructor only prior to the last week of classes. You will not receive any
credit for the project if these requirements are not met.
 No late or emailed homework assignments under any conditions.
 Solutions to the homework assignments shall be posted on TITANium after their due dates
for one (1) week only, and shall not be reposted under any conditions.
 No make-up exams under any conditions.
 You are prohibited to have any of your homework or project assignments turned in by any
other student under any conditions. Violation of this rule is considered as an academic
dishonesty. Read UPS 300.021. Plan to turn in your assignments in advance to the instructor
if you cannot make it to the class on their due dates. If you are late on the assignment due
date, turn it in as soon as you walk in.

 Class attendance is mandatory, and being late is considered the same as being absent. Your
final letter grade may be lowered by one (1) level, e.g., from A to B, if you have more than
three (3) absences.
 You are prohibited to sign in the class roster for any other students. Violation of this rule is
considered as an academic dishonesty. Read UPS 300.021.
 All electronic devices, e.g. cellular phones, tablets, pagers, portable media players (PMPs) or
digital audio players (DAPs), etc., must be turned off and placed away during the class. For
every violation, your overall total points shall be reduced by 5%.
 Tablets and laptops may be used only for the purpose of the lecture notes if posted on
TITANium. For every violation, your overall total points shall be reduced by 5%.
 You are required to pay undivided attention to the lectures. For every violation, your overall
total points shall be reduced by 5%.
 At the end of the semester, the percentage grades shall be curved and accordingly letter
grades shall be assigned with +/- grading.
 Any kind of academic dishonesty shall have detrimental effects on your academic records.
Read UPS 300.021.
 The University requires students with disabilities to register with the Office of Disabled
Student Services (DSS), located in UH-101 (657 - 278 - 3112) in order to receive prescribed
accommodations appropriate to their disability. Students requesting accommodations should
inform the instructor during the first week of classes about any disability or special needs that
may require specific arrangements/accommodations related to attending class sessions,
completing course assignments, writing papers or quizzes/tests/examinations.
 To be informed of the actions the students should take in case of emergency, please visit
