EE40 Lab Policies and GradingThe basic purpose of this
laboratory is to teach you how to use electronic test equipment, to
familiarize you with the characteristics of basic circuit elements
(resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors) and to give you
experience in designing, building, and debugging circuits.
- There will be 11 labs, consisting of seven structured
experiments and a four-week project. The project involves
real-time interfacing a simple circuit design with computerized
measurement, comparison and feedback.
Policies:
- Group
- Students should work in groups of 2. Working alone is ok if
there is enough equipment. Groups of 3 are only allowed if there
is an "odd person out" or not enough equipment available.
Partners should remain together throughout the semester.
- Prelab Assignment
- There will be a prelab assignment for each of the
experiments. The prelab assignment is due at the BEGINNING of
the experiment in lab. Each student must submit your own prelab.
LATE prelabs or INCOMPLETE prelabs will be marked off
50%.
- Preparing for Lab
- In addition to the prelab assignment, students are required
to read and try to understand the lab guide and lab report sheet
before their lab sessoin. If you need help, ask the GSIs for
help before the lab session at office hours, via the online
message board or email. Students should also bring their own
printed copy of the lab report and lab guide (downloaded from
the course website)
- Lab Report
- There will be a lab report for each of the experiments.
Students should complete the lab report during the lab. Lab
reports should typically be turned in by the end of class. If
you need extra time, it's sometimes possible to attend an
additional lab session (if there's room and you get your lab
GSI's permission). If things don't
work out as expected in your lab, do not just copy data from
other groups. If you can explain what went wrong, and what
results you expected, we will be lenient with the grading
compared to if you write nothing or make up data.
- Attendance
- If you have to miss your assigned lab session one week, let
Devang and your lab GSI know in advance, and you might be
given a chance to make up the whole lab in another section
before your next lab (within < 1 week, hopefully ASAP).
- You are not allowed though to be in the lab when there is no
staff member on duty.
Course Grading :
HW: 9%; Labs: 18%; Midterms: 40%;
Final: 33%
The breakdown for each lab grading is as follows:
- Prelab (20%)
- Late or incomplete prelabs will be marked off 50%
- Lab Report (80%)
MOST IMPORTANT-again, we must
stress that you are expected to have read AND UNDERSTOOD the lab
guide, prelab, and lab report BEFORE the lab session starts. You may
need to study the lab materials a couple days before your lab
session, so you can come to TA office hours if you need any help to
finish the prelab.
Lab room rules: - No drinking/eating inside the lab
- Only TA's can go into the supply closet - No students can
be in the lab with out a GSI or staff member on duty
