Some good diode problems (in addition to your HW) from Hambley are: 10.17, 10.18, 10.19, 10.20, 10.21, 10.29, 10.33.Solutions.

You can also look at previous semester exams (MIDTERMs and FINALs) and homeworks by clicking on the EE100 Spring 2005 webpage link.

I am planning to write a 45-minute test, although I will give you three hours to do it. Me and the TAs should be able to finish the test in 20 minutes. You can solve the problems without a calculator, although I do allow you to use one.
PLEASE DO NOT MEMORIZE PROBLEMS WHEN PREPARING FOR THE TEST! That will NOT help you on the test, trust me!
My suggestion when preparing for this test is to finish the project the weekend of August 1st. You should spend the week of August 8th (the finals week) just preparing for the final and verifying your grades online are correct. Start by going through the review problems above in groups. Then, look over the final problems from previous semesters individually. Come with questions for the review session(s). By Wednesday, August 10th you should be ready for the final.

Please do not ask us (me, the TAs and the reader) to post solutions to these problems, we really don't have time. You should check the answers yourselves using PSPICE! Of course you can ask us questions on the problems, but don't ask for official solutions!
In addition to the problems above, you should look at midterm problems (under Exams) from EE100 Spring 2005 and EE100 Summer 2005. Follow the links on the main webpage to get to them.

My suggestion when preparing for this test is to finish learning chapter 5 and the homework problems from chapter 5 before the weekend of July 8th. That gives you a full week to prepare for the midterm. Start by going through the review problems above in groups. Then, look over the midterm problems from previous semesters individually. Come with questions for the review session(s). By Wednesday, July 13th you should be ready for the midterm.
You only have lab the week of the midterm (no homework or new concepts). The lab is kind of a fun lab - you learn LabVIEW so you shouldn't be too stressed out.
