4 Homework Ground Rules: Your objective for this course should be the same as mine for you to learn as much as possible about electricity and electrical circuits, associated electrical devices, and their applications. Consistent with this objective, I encourage you to join an informal study group consisting of classmates of your choosing. You may discuss homework and examination material freely within your study group, but only your own individual work written out by yourself can be turned in and represented as your homework. Remember, grading is competitive and based on a historical "curve." So, if you work well alone you may prefer that method instead in order to preserve a competitive edge. Attendance: Attendance is entirely your concern. However, much of the material presented in class is not available in the textbook because I will cover additional material. It is foolish to think that you can gain a competitive understanding of the course material simply by reading a book. Consequently, it would be unwise to ignore the lecture material come examination time. Class Participation: Class participation in the form of answering questions, sleeping, eating, etc. is not a factor in the determination of your grade. Laboratory Participation: Participation in all of the laboratory sessions is required. Cell Phones: Cell phones are a normal part of life. Therefore, I encourage you to use cell phones and to answer them quietly in class if you find it necessary. However, you must immediately leave the room after you receive a call if you wish to speak further. You are not permitted to place calls while in class or examinations. Course Grading Examinations, Laboratory Exercises & Quizzes: There are 3 ninety-minute examinations which, altogether, count toward 50% of the final grade. Each examination will cover the material following the previous examination. The laboratory exercises altogether count as 25% of the final grade. Quizzes (weekly) altogether count as 25% of the final grade. Homework assignments will be given on-line. They are not to be turned in and graded; rather, weekly quizzes will be used to test comprehension of the homework material. Examination and Quiz Ground Rules: 1. You are expected to provide accurate, high-quality examination and quiz responses. No irrelevant material will be accepted (instead, points may be deducted). 2. During the examination or quiz, only clean paper, pens/pencils, and calculators will be allowed no books, computers, or notes of any kind are permitted except for 4

5 explicitly allowed note sheets which will be specified beforehand. You are responsible for knowing any fundamental constants you may need. 3. There will be 3 kinds of problems on the examinations: qualitative (narrative or commentary required), analytical (derivations and proofs), and quantitative (numerical results). Regarding quantitative problems, no credit will be given unless your answer is accurate to within 10 or 20%. 4. Each examination will last 90 minutes. Each quiz will last 15 to 20 minutes. When you finish, staple your work-pages onto the back of the examination or quiz, sign the top sheet, and turn in all of your work. 5
