ELE 222E

Introduction to Electronics, Spring 2013.

Announcements

The first homework has been posted that is due 01/11/2012 (before the lecture).
PSpice student version might have problems under Windows 7/Vista. Alternatively, you can use LTspice.
As a simulation tool, Spice is used for homeworks. Start learning it!

Mondays 9:30 - 12:30, EEF 4104.

Midterm Exams: 40%
- 2 midterms during the lecture time that will on 25/3/2013 and 29/4/2013.

Homeworks are due at the beginning of class. Late homeworks will be downgraded by 10% for each day passed the due date.
Exams are in closed-notes and closed-books format.
To be eligible of taking the final or the resit exam, you should take both midterms and your midterm average should be at least 20 (out of 100).
