Attendance: Lecture hours are not mandatory. A passing grade
might be attained by self study alone. A portion of the material may be
presented in-class only, including motivation and demonstrations. All students
are responsible to learn the material whether or not they attend the lectures.
Honor code: Adherence to the BYU
honor code is expected. This includes appropriate dress in class, respectful
treatment of others, and refraining from plagiarism, cheating, and any
other type of academic dishonesty.
Web Pages
Be sure to check the course website regularly, particularly the schedule
page. It will be regularly updated with class notes, solutions, and other
helps.
Other information related to this and other courses is available on
the ECEn Department syllabus webpage.
Weekly Schedule and Contact Information
The instructor and teaching assistants will be available during
regular office hours each week. Other consultation times
can be arranged by appointment. If you are struggling with the
material, do not wait until the end of the semester to contact the instructor.
Often, the source of the problem can be identified and the situation improved
if you are willing to take a few minutes to come in.
