Grading
Grading Components: The course will consist of the following grading components:
1 Homework : 200pts
2.Quizzes : 200pts
3.Exams: Mid-term:200pts, and Final: 300pts
4 Project:100pts (As needed)
All quizzes, homework, projects, and exams are mandatory. Failure to take the final exam will result in an F
in the course, irrespective of whether or not you currently have a passing grade. Please note that I do not
anticipate scheduling any make-up exams. If you realize that you will miss an exam as a result of a serious
illness or another emergency, I must be informed as quickly as possible. After your homework , or quiz or
exam is initially handed back, you have a week to challenge for the grading. Besides it is not my
responsibility of keeping your works after this period. Up to 2 wks I keep your work after returned and then
it will be discarded.
To help facilitate attendance during the semester, unannounced quizzes may be given, but weekly or
biweekly basis quizzes will be expected.
The total points are divided by nine or ten. (In the case of not assigning the project, it will be announced in
the middle of the semester).
A(90-100), B(80-89), C(70-79),D(60-69), and F (0-59)
Marks Description Points

A High competence
B Competence
C Minimum competence
D Limited or incomplete competence
F Inadequate competence for credit

Study Expectations: Since this is a 3-unit class, you are expected to study an average of 6 hours outside of
class each week. Some students may require more study time outside of class, and others less.
Homework/Project Reports:
Homework and/or Project Reports will be assigned periodically
throughout the semester and are intended to help you learn the material and provide insight into the subject
matter. Homework will generally be collected a week after it is assigned, and will typically involve the
problems each chapter we cover. All due dates will be announced in the class or via the course blackboard
website, please attend the class all the times if possible, and check your email regularly for announcements
regarding this course Sloppy or unreadable homework is unacceptable, and may result in a 0%. Furthermore,
cheating (such as solutions being copied from the web or another source) will also receive a 0%, and may
result in disciplinary action and significantly impact your grade. The front page of each assignment must
contain the following statement, signed and dated by yourself:
I have done my own work and have neither given nor received
unauthorized assistance on this work.
If you work in a group in case of project, list the students you worked with on the front page of the
assignment as well.
When you are asked to submit a computer file as your assignment, do not zip the files! If so you will get a 5
point penalty. No late homework will be accepted. Also if more than one page is required for the
homework, the pages must be stapled. If not, there is a 5 point penalty. No late homework will be accepted.
Project(s): Projects may be assigned throughout the semester. Details will be given to you later in the
semester. Each project will require a project report, and must include any simulation results and all project
code or schematic developed by your team.
Examinations: There is one midterm scheduled (subject to change), in addition to a final exam/project. The
midterm will be based upon reading material, lecture presentations, class discussions, homework, and
projects. The midterm will cover all material from the beginning of class up to the exam. The final will be
comprehensive. If you cheat on homework (or are otherwise ill prepared to take an exam),you will most
likely fail the exam, as well as the course.
Note: I reserve the right to ask you to move to another chair at any time during an exam.

Professionalism: In preparation for the business world, students should refrain from unprofessional
behavior. Students should act respectfully to other students as well as the professor. If a student engages
in disruptive behavior, the student will be dismissed from class. Examples of unprofessional (disruptive)
behavior include but are not limited to:
Surfing the Internet
Texting during class
Reading a book, newspaper, or even notes for another course
Private conversations
Arriving to class late or leaving class early
Listening to your I-pod
Also Smoking, eating and drinking are strictly prohibited inside the classroom.

Personal responsibility: You are personally responsible for all information disseminated during the
lectures. Therefore, if you miss a lecture, it is your responsibility to obtain all information presented during
that lecture.
E-Mail: It is expected that additional announcements will have to be made from time to time outside the
classroom. Therefore, each student is expected to check their e-mail on a regular basis to ensure that they
receive any communication from myself.
Audio/Video Recording: You may not record any of the lectures using either audio and/or video without
prior consent from the Instructor.
University Policies
Students with Disabilities:
Upon identifying themselves to the instructor and the university, students with disabilities will receive
reasonable accommodation for learning and evaluation. For more information, contact Services to Students
with Disabilities in the University Center Room 5 (278-2811).
Honor Code: Members of the CSU Fresno academic community adhere to principles of academic
integrity
and mutual respect while engaged in university work and related activities. You should:
understand or seek clarification about expectations for academic integrity in this course (including no
cheating, plagiarism and inappropriate collaboration)
1. neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on examinations or other course work that is used by the
instructor as the basis of grading.
2.take responsibility to monitor academic dishonesty in any form and to report it to the instructor or
other appropriate official for action.
3. Instructors may require students to sign a statement at the end of all exams and assignments that states
I have done my own work and have neither given nor received
unauthorized assistance on this work.
Cheating and Plagiarism: "Cheating is the actual or attempted practice of fraudulent or deceptive acts for
the purpose of improving one's grade or obtaining course credit; such acts also include assisting another
student to do so. Typically, such acts occur in relation to examinations. However, it is the intent of this
definition that the term 'cheating' not be limited to examination situations only, but that it include any and
all actions by a student that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by fraudulent or deceptive
means. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of the published and/or
unpublished works of others by misrepresenting the material (i.e., their intellectual property) so used as
one's own work." Penalties for cheating and plagiarism range from a 0 or F on a particular assignment,
through an F for the course, to expulsion from the university. For more information on the University's
policy regarding cheating and plagiarism, refer to the Class Schedule (Legal Notices on Cheating and
Plagiarism) or the University Catalog (Policies and Regulations).
The campus subscribes to the Turnitin plagiarism prevention service (http://turnitin.com/), and you may
need to submit written assignments to Turnitin via Blackboard (http://blackboard.csufresno.edu). Your work
will be used by Turnitin for plagiarism detection and for no other purpose. You may indicate in writing to
the instructor that you refuses to participate in the Turnitin process, in which case the instructor can use
other electronic means to verify the originality of the work. Turnitin Originality Reports will generally be
available for your viewing.
Computers: "At California State University, Fresno, computers and communications links to remote
resources are recognized as being integral to the education and research experience. Every student is
required to have his/her own computer or have other personal access to a workstation (including a modem
and a printer) with all the recommended software. The minimum and recommended standards for the
workstations and software, which may vary by academic major, are updated periodically and are available

from Information Technology Services (http://www.csufresno.edu/ITS/) or the University Bookstore. In the

curriculum and class assignments, students are presumed to have 24-hour access to a computer workstation
and the necessary communication links to the University's information resources."
Disruptive Classroom Behavior: "The classroom is a special environment in which students and faculty
come together to promote learning and growth. It is essential to this learning environment that respect for
the rights of others seeking to learn, respect for the professionalism of the instructor, and the general goals
of academic freedom are maintained. ... Differences of viewpoint or concerns should be expressed in terms
which are supportive of the learning process, creating an environment in which students and faculty may
learn to reason with clarity and compassion, to share of themselves without losing their identities, and to
develop and understanding of the community in which they live . . . Student conduct which disrupts the
learning process shall not be tolerated and may lead to disciplinary action and/or removal from class."
