Prerequisites: ECE-3040 with min. C
Course Description: You will learn the concepts of analysis and design of analog electronic circuits.
Biasing, small-signal analysis, frequency response, feedback, amplifiers, passive and active filters, basic
op-amps, and oscillators.
Attendance: Class attendance is strongly encouraged. Each student is responsible for all assignments,
announcements, and material covered in each class. Lectures will start promptly at 9:05AM on MWF.
Your punctuality is expected and greatly appreciated.
Reading Assignments: Reading assignments include sections of the textbook, supplementary notes,
on-line material, etc. Students are responsible for both lecture material and reading assignments from the
beginning of the class up to the point that is covered before each exam.
Homework assignments: Homework will be assigned on Mondays in class and will be due in one or
two weeks (depending on the number of problems and their complexity) at the BEGINNING of the class
on Monday. No late homework will be accepted. Homework will not be returned. However, homework
solutions will be posted after the due date. All collected homework for each student will be randomly
graded before each exam to indicate the homework grade for that student.
Quizzes: There will be 3 to 5 random quizzes, which will take 15-20 min and will be discussed in the
same lecture. Quizzes will often cover the topics recently taught in class.
Midterm Exam: There will be one midterm exam on TBD.
1
Final Exam: The final exam will be held in class on Mon. May 3rd from 8:00 to 10:50 am.
Missed Exam: If you miss the midterm or final exam without a certified medical excuse or prior
instructor approval, a zero will be averaged into your grade. Certified excuses and prior approval will be
dealt with on an individual basis. Generally, the missed exams will be held at a designated time near the
end of the semester and before the final exams. This means that there will be only one make-up test,
independent of which exam/quiz you missed. Thus, the make-up test will be comprehensive. To request
an excused absence, 1- write a formal letter to me (typeset), dated and signed, stating your specific request
and the reason you are asking for an excused absence; 2- provide documentation supporting your request;
3- bring this letter and the documentation to me in person before the requested date (if an absence is
foreseeable) or within one week after the absence (if it is of unforeseeable nature), at which time your
request will be discussed. Special cases will be dealt individually.
Academic Integrity: It is the responsibility of the instructor to encourage an environment where you
can learn and your accomplishments will be rewarded fairly. Any behavior which compromises the basic
rules of academic honesty as described in the General Catalog will not be tolerated, and will be reported to
the department.
Disabilities: Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with verifiable disabilities. To
qualify for these accommodations, students must register with the ADAPTS program. For more
