The ECE 313 FFA

Frequently Forgotten Answers

• Homework is due on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. except for Problem Set 0 which is due on Friday January 22 at 4:00 p.m. You must drop your homework into the ECE 313 lockbox (#20) in the Everitt Laboratory basement (east side) by this deadline.

• Feel free to meet with any instructor or TA during their office hours.

• You may discuss the work assigned in the weekly problem sets with your classmates or other students -- in fact, many students find such study groups very helpful -- but the homework that you turn in must be your own work. That is, DO NOT simply copy the solution that one member of your group has worked out (or allow your solution to be copied by others in your group).

• Many of the problems assigned as homework have been used in previous semesters and their solutions are available on the web pages from previous semesters. Avoid the temptation to copy these solutions and submit them as your own original work. Doing so constitutes plagiarism and appropriate action will be taken against those who indulge in such practices.

• An ECE 313 Web board is available in my.ece.illinois.edu for general discussion of course matters. If you ask the instructors or TA a question whose answer might be of interest to several people in class, we may choose to answer it in the Web board.

• Homework and exam scores will be stored in the COMPASS system. Errors in recording your homework scores should be reported to the TAs, and errors in exam scores to the instructors.

• Combined-section hour exams have been scheduled for Thursday February 25 (Locations TBA), and Tuesday April 13 (Locations TBA) from 7 pm to 8 pm.

  You may bring one 8.5" by 11" sheet of notes to each hour exam; both sides of the sheet can be used, but the exams are closed-book and closed-notes otherwise. Electronic devices (calculators, cellphones, pagers, laptops, etc.) are neither necessary nor permitted.

• To compensate for evening exams, there will be no ECE 313 class meetings on Friday February 26 and Wednesday April 21.

• The combined-section Final Exam will be scheduled at a later date.
