Grading

Exam 1 25%

Exam 2 25%

- Final Exam 40%

Attendance, Quizzes, and Participation 10%

Grading policy

1. All instruction will be communicated through class announcements and/or emails throughout the course of the semester.

2. Weekly quizzes – 10 minutes (10 points each).

3. Exams will be closed notes and closed book. Any needed information or formulae will be provided.

4. Calculator restrictions apply.

5. Excuses to miss exams must be handed in one week prior to the exam.

6. Any disputes with the exam grading must be brought up within one week of the return of the exam papers and will result in the regrading of the whole exam and not only the disputed question.

7. Late students will not be permitted to the take the quizzes or exams.

8. No makeup quizzes will be awarded.

Cheating

Any student who is caught cheating during an exam or weekly quiz will fail this course. Cheating is defined in the Student Handbook. Any student is considered cheating if he/she uses any unauthorized material other than the exam sheets and the calculator. Extra cheat sheet(s), stored information in the calculator, talking to other students or assisting other students while taking an exam or weekly quiz is considered cheating.

Attendance

Attendance is mandatory. Once a student is registered for this course he/she agrees to be in class as scheduled. There will be no makeup exams without official documentation such as a doctor’s note, police report, etc. Six or more absences automatically disqualifies the students from the course, as per the university’s rules.

Course Topics

The following text chapters are planned to be covered:

Chapter 1 – Circuit Variables

Chapter 2 – Circuit Elements

Chapter 3 – Simple Resistive Circuits

Chapter 4 – Techniques of Circuit Analysis

Chapter 6 – Inductance, Capacitance, and Mutual Inductance

Chapter 7 – Response of First-Order RL and RC Circuits

Chapter 8 – Natural Step Response of RLC Circuits

Chapter 9 – Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis

Expected Course Outcomes: By the end of the course, the student should be able to do the following:

1. Explain the operation of switches, resistors, capacitors and inductors, dependent and independent voltage and current sources.

2. Analyze the voltages and currents in linear circuits.

3. Use of Norton and Thevenin equivalent circuits to simplify circuits

4. Understand and apply maximum power point transfer theorem.

5. Analyze and understand RLC circuits.

6. Represents the circuit using phasor variables.

Conduct in the classroom: While in the classroom, cell phones and laptops should be turned off. Students should keep the classroom quiet and come to class on time and not step outside during the lecture.
