practical means. (CCC 1, 2, 5, 6, 7; PGC 1, 2, 3, 4)
7. Evaluate proper biasing methods for various transistor amplifier configurations that include:
base, emitter, collector feedback, emitter feedback, and voltage divider bias techniques.
(CCC 1, 2, 5, 6, 7; PGC 1,2,3,4)
8. Design and construct small-signal amplifiers that include: common-emitter, commoncollector, Darlington pair, differential, and common-base configurations. (CCC 1, 2, 5, 6, 7;
PGC 1, 2, 3, 4)
9. Analyze the design of large-signal and other amplifier configurations. (CCC 2, 6, 7; PGC 1,
2, 3, 4)
Summative Evaluations
Please note: All courses must have a minimum of four summative evaluation measures, and those measures should
include a variety evaluation methods (e.g., test, oral presentation, group project). Please list all summative
evaluation measures. In addition to these summative measures, a variety of formative exercises/quizzes/other
assignments should be used to guide instruction and learning but do not need to be included on this template.
For each measure, please include a scope of the assignment: for example, if requiring a research paper, include the
range of required number of words and numbers and types of sources; for a test, include the types and numbers of
questions; for a presentation, include the minimum and maximum time, and so on.

LIST RELEVANT COURSE POLICIES (e.g., makeup policies for evaluation measures
and learning experiences agreed upon collegewide)
Quizzes versus pop quizzes: Quizzes are announced formative assessments that have a
heavier weighting factor than pop quizzes, which serve to complement homework
assignments and provide feedback on student progress toward mastery learning.
Laboratory Experiments will include, but not limited to: building and testing AC/DC
circuits that will include special purpose diodes and transistors. Students will analyze
operational characteristics and behaviors of filtered and unfiltered rectifiers, and compare
the calculated values with the measured values.
