Prerequisites:
Fourth-year registration in Electrical or Computer Systems Engineering. Undergraduate preparation in probability theory, including functions of a random variable.
Exams:
There will be one midterm exam and a final exam.
Midterm will be closed book. Calculators are allowed. You are also allowed to have a double sided page (8.5X11) page with notes (the instructors may prepare a page with formulas for the students, details will be posted in due time). The date of the midterm is Thursday October 22.
The University will schedule the final exam and it will be closed book as the midterm. A page with formulas will be allowed. The final examination is for evaluation purposes only and will not be returned to the student.
Furthermore we will have 4 mini-tests, two of which will be given before the midterm. All mini-tests will be formally announced before they are given.
Marking:
Assignments (4-5 total) and mini-tests: 20% total weight towards final grade
LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
The class is relatively big and tolerance to late assignments/labs may create significant overhead.
Laboratory: 10% total weight towards final grade (2 labs on network simulation)
Mid-term: 30% total weight towards final grade
Final: 40% total weight towards final grade
A passing mark in the final exam and midterm is required to pass this course.
Students may form groups of up to 3 persons/group for labs and assignments. In this case the group grade will be the same grade for each student in the group! The groups formation will not change during the course.
Solutions to the assignment problems are given to the IEEE office and the Library Reserves.
