Breaking News:
1. For those who did not make it to last night's help session, the study tip given was advice to go back over the earlier tests and try to anticipate how I could rephrase particular questions using complex impedances and/or sinusoidal sources (e.g. require you to solve similar a problem in the phasor domain). Also work old homework problems. It was reiterated that the material we have covered since the second exam will be emphasized.
It was pretty much promised (in class, and again last night) that you would see:
A circuit requiring you to write and solve a 1st order differential eq.,
A phasor domain/complex impedance variation on maximum power transfer, and
A balanced three phase, Y-to-Y system to solve.
It was promised that you would not be asked to solve 2nd order differential equations.
2. You will be allowed to use your calculator on the final exam. Do not forget to bring a calculator. You are not allowed any reference material, including text stored in calculator memory.
3. Some more worked examples. We worked parts of some of these in class on Friday. I apologize for the quality of the scan. Although not even legible in a browser window, if you download them first you can zoom and/or print them and they don't look so bad. The fact that I went to this much effort (and settled for such a poor scan) to get you this informaion should lead you to assume that I think this material is important...

Unless otherwise specified, all work that you submit in this course must be your own; unauthorized collaboration is considered academic dishonesty. Please save us both a lot of trouble by realizing that I will pursue any such transgressions to the fullest extent possible. As a rule, late assigments are not generally accepted (e.g., attempting to hand in an assigment after the start of class on the due date will result in a grade of 0 for that assignment). Late assignments will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances AND with prior arrangement. A penalty may apply. |
| Grading Policy |
| Final grades will be determined via the following breakdown: |
| Exam #1 | 25% |
| Exam #2 | 25% |
| Homework and Quizzes | 20% |
| Class Participation | 5% |
| Comprehensive Final Exam | 25% |
|
Your class participation grade will be determined by your on time
attendance to class as well as your participation in classroom discussions.
Pop quizzes, when given, will cover material
previously covered in class, previous homework assignments, and/or simple questions
on the current days reading assignment. Please read Making the Grade by Kurt Wiesenfeld and keep his views (which I share) in mind when deciding how much effort to invest in your coursework. |
