• Click here for  the final grades for section 2 (Prof Yates). Here is the same information in PDF  format. If you have any questions about your grades, first check that your scores for exams 1 and 2, the final, the quizzes, and the homework are correct. If so, please send email to Prof Yates or stop by his office on Thursday  5/27 or by appointment.
•  
• If your electromechanics packet is missing page 52, here is the PS file.
• Prof Yates' remaining office hours are Wed 9-10 AM, Thu 9-10 AM.
• The final exam is May 10, 4 - 7 PM in ARC-103.
• HW4 (Chapter 13 and 14) is due Thursday 4/8 at noon at Mr. Li's office
• For the second exam, the grading was done as follows:
  • Bonnie Xia Zhu graded Problem 1 for Section 1. Ashish Giani graded Problem 1 for Section 2. Xueqing Li graded Problem 2 and 3.
• Don't forget the second exam: Thursday, March 25, 6:10PM-7:30PM, Hill 114
• Solutions to Prof Yates' 4th quiz are available outside Winlab 123
• Prof. Yates' class is cancelled on Thursday, 3/25.
• Here is the official word on the second hourly exam:

You should know both chapters 7 and 8; the solution of first and second order differential equations with constant inputs and their application to circuits. Given a circuit, you also need to know how to write the differential equations and find the charcteristic equation.

• HW2 (Chap 7) will now be due on Tuesday at noon, at the TA's office.
• Here is what we can tell you about the first hourly exam:
  • There will be three problems. One problem will ask you to analyze circuits to find transfer functions. One problem will be on Bode magnitude and phase plots. A third problem will be on filter design using Butterworth filters. You do not need to memorize the table of Butterworth polynomials. The test is closed book, no notes, but you should bring a calculator.
  • Remember: Its on Thursday, February 18, 6:10PM-7:30PM, Hill 114

• HW1: 15.30-15.34, 15.2, 15.5, 15.8, 15.9, 16.3-16.5 is due on Tuesday , Feb 9. You can hand in homework in class or at Mr Li's office (EE-224). More info about the collection of other homeworks is posted below.
