FINAL EXAM
- 05/13/05 (May 13th, Friday) from 12:30 - 3:30 pm in 2050 VLSB
- FINAL EXAM
SOLUTIONS AND GRADING SCHEME.
- Cheat sheet allowed: Yes. THREE 8.5' x 11' sheet, both sides, any font size. I am assuming that you will make a new cheat sheet for the final and you would like to use your (still?) existing cheat sheets from midterm Is and
II.
- Calculator(s): Allowed, but you won't need one.
- Bluebook: You don't need one.
- Cooperation during test: NO!
- Review problems. Since the final is cumulative:
1. UNDERSTAND your old homeworks. You also wanna look at circuits from
the lab since I WILL give you a lab (NOT project) question on the final.
It will be a lab circuit related question (nothing related to scopes,
function generators etc). Basically, if you just understand the idea
behind a lab, you should be fine.
2. Try these problems from the book: 4.74, 4.77, 5.13, 5.14, 5.45, 7.82, 7.85, 7.86. Solutions (WARNING:
6.12 MB).
3. Review Problems from Fall 2004. You want to
look at problems 1 through 5 and problem 14. Solutions
- Justin's review session will be on Tuesday, 05/10/05 at 5:00 pm.
Location: 277 Cory Hall.
Notes from his review session.
- Extra Office Hours for the final:
1. Bart: Thursday (05/12), 5:00 - ?? in 277 Cory. Here are my
notes from my office hours on Thursday evening.
MIDTERM II
- 04/14/05 (April 14th, Thursday)
- Cheat sheet allowed: Yes. TWO 8.5' x 11' sheet, both sides, any font size. I am assuming that you will make a new cheat sheet for midterm II and you would like to use your (still?) existing cheat sheet from midterm I.
- Calculator allowed: Yes.
- Bluebook: You don't need one.
- Cooperation during test: NO!
- Location(s) and Time(s):
299 Cory, 2 pm - 5 pm. Solutions to problems 1,4 and grading scheme. Problems 2 and 3 are the same from the evening midterm.
1 Pimental, 6 pm - 9 pm Solutions to evening midterm and grading scheme. Contact Bart for regrades on problems 1 and 4, Seng for problem 2 and John for problem 3.
- As for the location and time, I am planning to write a 45-minute test. BUT, I want to give you three hours to do the midterm. So, please post on the EE100 Google Groups (DO NOT EMAIL ME) if you CANNOT take the midterm from 6:00 - 9:00 on Thursday, 04/14/05. Please have a valid reason for not taking it at this time. For instance, having another midterm at the same time is valid. But, 9:00 being too late is invalid. I just want to help you by giving more time to solve the midterm.
- Please respond on the newsgroup by Friday, 5:00 pm PST, April 8th 2005 telling me if you CANNOT make the time of 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
MIDTERM II Review Session(s)
- In-class Review session on Thursday, April 7th 2005.
- In-class Q/A session (optional) on Tuesday, April 12th 2005.
- Justin's Review session on Tuesday, April 12th 2005 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm in 101 Morgan Hall (note the room change as compared to midterm I). Justin Review Notes (523 KB file size)
- Bart will have extra office hours on Wednesday (04/13/05), 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm in 111 Cory.
MIDTERM II Review Problems

- Corrections:
Jun Young pointed out an error in the solution to problem 3. First
off, observe that for both parts Vn is Vin since the op-amp never rails
and therefore Vn = Vp = Vin. But, since Vb is Vn, therefore Vb = Vin.
The error is in finding Va. Assume the node between R2 and R3 is Vx.
For part (a), there is no current in R4, hence R2 and R3 are in series
and Vb = Vx = Vin. Va is simply given by a voltage divider:
Vx = (R3/(R2+R3))Va
Thus for part (a), the answer is Vb = Vin and Va = (11/2)Vin
For part(b), there is a current flowing through R4 because you have
resistor R1 connected to the inverting input of the op-amp. Therefore,
KCL at the inverting input gives (remember Vb = Vin = Vn):
-Vin/R1 = (Vin - Vx)/R4. Since R1 = R4 = 1k, Vx = 2Vin.
Now, Va can be easily found by writing a KCL at Vx:
(Vin - Vx)/1k = (Vx - Va)/9k + Vx/2k
Simplifying: Va = 20Vin

MIDTERM I Review Session(s)
- In-class Review session on Thursday, March 3rd 2005.
- In-class Q/A session (optional) on Tuesday, March 8th 2005.
- Justin's Review session on Tuesday, March 8th 2005 from 5:00 - 7:00 pm in 10 Evans.
- Bart will have extra office hours on Wednesday (03/09/05), 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm in 111 Cory. NOTE THE LOCATION CHANGE - I AM NOT HOLDING MY OFFICE HOURS IN THE LAB ANYMORE. I HAVE LEFT A NOTE ON THE LAB DOOR.
MIDTERM I Review Problems
- Midterm 1 Review Problems
- For solutions, please look at EECS 40 Fall 1999 Midterm Solutions and EECS 40 Fall 2000 Midterm Solutions. Two of the problem(s) do not have solutions online, just check with one of the TAs for solutions. HKN's EECS 40 exam repository is actually a good source of conceptual problems. Keep in mind that your midterm is a lot shorter and easier than the EECS 40 midterms.
- Here are the notes from Justin's review session on Tuesday, 03/08/05. WARNING: FILE SIZE IS 13 MB. However, it is in your best interest to go over these notes, they are an excellent preparation for the midterm.
MIDTERM I Solutions
- MIDTERM Solutions
- MAKEUP MIDTERM Solutions
- Please check the grading scheme on BOTH midterms in the solutions above before submitting a grade complaint. Please go to the individual who graded each problem: 1-Seng;2-John;3-Chris (drop your midterm in the homework box with an attached note justifying your complaint);4-Bart.
- Midterms will be returned in class on Tuesday, 03/15/05.
