Grading Qualifications • You can have study groups for HW • But write your own HW solutions and submit individually • No late HW. Your lowest 2 HW scores will be dropped. • No make-up exams, except for unforeseeable emergency that is well documented. • Your own higher exam score will receive the higher %, and lower score the lower %

Laboratory • There will be weekly laboratory experiments. • The laboratory will be either on electronic measurements or on VLSI CAD design and simulation. • A written report after each topic is completed • Lab reports are for individual work 18

Design Projects • Everyone will design a two-stage op amp • Teams will design various digital to analog converters or analog to digital converters • Additional details will be given after relevant material is covered in class. • The option will exist to have these projects fabricated through the MOSIS program. 19

Additional Comments • E-mail communication is strongly encouraged • Personal visit to my office is also encouraged – Either academic or non-academic – Anytime is OK • Classroom participation is strongly encouraged – I prefer an interactive class – I feel nervous when the class is too quiet – So, do me a favor and ask questions and answer questions 20

First week lab • Electronic measurements – Required for everybody – Finish in one week – Report due at beginning of lab in second week • Extra Cadence simulation lab – Not required for people with B or better in EE 330 – Finish in one week – Show simulation results to any instructor 21

Student behavior expectations • Full attendance expected, except with prior-notified excuses • On-time arrival • Active participation – Ask questions – Answer questions from instructor or students • Be cordial and considerate to students and TA • Help each other in reviewing notes, HW, Matlab • Promptly report/share problems/issues, including typos on slides, or misspoken words from instructor

Prohibited behaviors • Any foul languages or gestures • Comments to other students that are discriminatory in any form • Any harassments as defined by the university • Academic dishonesty • No alcohol, drugs, or any other illegal / improper substances – Snacks/drinks OK as long as you don’t spill and do clean up

Accommodation/Assistance • Please let me know if you – – – Have any special needs Have disability in any form Have any medical/mental/emergency conditions Have field trip / interview Have special requests Want me to adjust lecture contents/pace • Can also consult me if you – Would like to seek advice on any professional or personal issues – Would like to have certain confidential discussions

Collaboration And Helping Each Other • For tasks intended for group work, you are expected to find a partner and share the tasks among the group members. In a group project, effective teamwork is critical to maximize the productivity of the whole group. In the submitted work, identify components and indicate percentage contribution by each member to each component. • For tasks not intended for group work, individual submission is required. In this case, you are encouraged to discuss among your friends on how to attack problems. However, you should write your own solution. Copying other people’s work is strictly prohibited.

Academic dishonesty • Cheating is a very serious offense. It will be dealt with in the most severe manner allowable under University regulations. If caught cheating, you can expect a failing grade and initiation of a cheating case in the University system. • Basically, it’s an insult to the instructor, the department and major program, and most importantly, to the person doing the cheating. Just don't. • If in doubt about what might constitute cheating, send email to your instructor describing the situation. If you notice anyone cheating, please report it to the instructor or the TA. Do not deal with it yourself.

Discrimination • State and Federal laws as well as Iowa State University policies prohibit any form of discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, marital status, disability, or status as a U. S. veteran. Language or gestures of discriminatory nature will not be tolerated. Severe cases will be reported to appropriate offices. See ISU policies at http: //www. hrs. iastate. edu/hrs/files/reaffirmation. pdf • Let us make every effort to work together and create a positive, collegial, caring, and all-supportive learning environment in our classroom, laboratory, TA office, and instructor office.

Disability accommodation • Iowa State University is committed to assuring that all educational activities are free from discrimination and harassment based on disability status. All students requesting accommodations are required to meet with staff in Student Disability Resources (SDR) to establish eligibility. A Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) form will be provided to eligible students. The provision of reasonable accommodations in this course will be arranged after timely delivery of the SAAR form to the instructor. Students are encouraged to deliver completed SAAR forms as early in the semester as possible. SDR, a unit in the Dean of Students Office, is located in room 1076, Student Services Building or online at www. dso. iastate. edu/dr/. Contact SDR by e-mail at disabilityresources@iastate. edu or by phone at 515 -294 -7220 for additional information.

Accommodation for religion based conflicts • Iowa State University welcomes diversity of religious beliefs and practices, recognizing the contributions differing experiences and viewpoints can bring to the community. Students with religion based conflict should talk to the instructor and appropriate university offices to request accommodations at the earliest possible time.
