This Syllabus may be updated throughout
the semester.

Required Text and notes:
-Basic Electronics Theory, Delton T. Horn ISBN0-8306-4199-8
-A211 class notes (provided by the instructor-free!)
Course Objectives: The first section of this course will introduce new components (FETs and Op-Amps) and their use in circuits. The rest of the course will be student led. Students will be divided into groups. Each group of students will choose a piece of equipment and completely analyze the schematic. All schematics must be chosen and approved by the instructor by October 2.
Disabilities: If any student will require assistance or appropriate accommodations for a disability, please contact the instructor during office hours or via email. If you have not already done so, you must have established your eligibility for disability support through the Office of Disabled Student Services in Franklin Hall room 096 (855-7578).
GRADING
Homework: There will be regular homework assignment throughout the semester. These will be used to reinforce the main points of the previous week. It will also give the student a chance to use their new understanding, along with that of previous weeks, to analyze real-world circuits. See Assignments below.
Exams: Make-up Exams will be given on the Monday after the exam only if there is an excused absence, see Attendance below.
Assignments: All lab assignments, homework assignments, and steps in the schematic project must be turned in to pass the course. All assignments must be turned in to the instructor by the end of class on the assigned day. Late assignments will lose 10 points (a letter grade) for each class meeting day they are late.
Equipment Schematics: The last two thirds of the class will be student-led. Each student will choose a piece of equipment and completely analyze the schematic. Complex schematics can be split between students. All schematics must be chosen and approved by the instructor by October 2. The rest of the semester will be devoted to identifying unknown components in the schematics.
Attendance: I expect you to attend each class meeting and to come a) on time; b )having read the assigned material; c) having prepared any required assignments; and d) ready to participate in class discussion. You are responsible for material covered if you are absent (do NOT ask if we covered anything important in class). Absences for illness will be excused if you have an excuse from a doctor. Even for excused absences, the covered material is your responsibility! Absences for School of Music productions are not excused; do not schedule yourself for productions during class.
Final grades: final
grades will be figured from the following
35%: Exams (3 including Final)
35%: Equipment Schematic
10%: Class participation and attendance
20%: Lab assignments and Homework
