(lab orientation on Oct 13th, first lab on Oct. 20th) Midterm exam:
Thursday, 11/13/2014, in class. Close book, close notes. Final
exam: Thursday, 12/18/2014, 7:00 P.M. - 10:00 P.M. Close book,
close notes. Objective: The objective of this course and the
accompanying EE100B is to develop students
ability to analyze and design electronic circuits. The emphasis
is on analog circuits. Course webpage: http://ilearn.ucr.edu Text:

Experiments: There will be six experiments. A lab report is
required for each
experiment. The lab report is due one week after the scheduled
date for the experiment, before the corresponding lab sections.
You will need to buy parts kit for the labs (one kit for two
students, same parts for EE100B; contact UC Riverside IEEE ).
Homework Assignments: There will normally be one homework
assignment every week, due on
the same day of the following week, before class. Late
assignment can be accepted, but 20% deduction from the score will
be applied for each day after the deadline. (-20% for 1st day, -40%
for 2nd day, and so on)
Exams: There will be one midterm and one final exam. The midterm
exam will be set in the 6th week of the quarter. Both exams are
close book and close notes. Two pages of equation sheets (letter
size) are allowed.
Grades: 10% assignments, 25% laboratory, 25% midterm, and 40%
final exam. Course Contents:
Signals and amplifiers (chapter 1) Diodes (chapter 4) Bipolar
Junction Transistors (chapter 6) MOS Field-Effect Transistors
