INSTRUCTOR’S POLICIES:
Students are expected to read the text and communicate with the instructor if there are any
questions that you are not sure of. All scheduled assignments/projects are to be turned in at
the beginning of the class period on the date they are due or they are considered late and will
be penalized 25%. Late work will not be accepted after the instructor has returned the class
papers. Neatness is expected and will be part of the grade.
If you know in advance that you will not be able to take the Final on the scheduled date, it is
your responsibility to make arrangements for a pre-test. No student will be seated for an
exam after the first student has left the exam room.
Each laboratory experiment must be validated by having a copy of the results initialed by the
instructor or other authorized individual prior to the lab being disassembled (no exceptions).
The instructor will want to observe the completed experiment in operation, so do not
take the experiment apart until approved by the instructor or no credit will be given for
the work. A copy of the sheet with the instructors initial will be turned in with the lab report.
Place all equipment and components in their proper location and clean your work area prior to
leaving the laboratory. Food and/or beverages will not be allowed in the laboratory room.
University Policy:
Cameron University discourages lecture and/or laboratory attendance by any person not
enrolled in the course. Included are student’s friends, student’s spouses, and student’s
children.
Tobacco product use is not allowed in any building on Cameron University campus.
Accommodations of Disabilities:
It is the policy of Cameron University to accommodate students with disabilities, pursuant to
federal and state law. Students with disabilities who need classroom accommodations must
make their requests by contacting the Office of Student Development at (580) 581-2209,
North Shepler, Room 314.
Academic Honesty:
Each student is expected to engage in all academic pursuits in a manner that is above
reproach. Students are expected to maintain complete honesty and integrity in the academic
experiences both in and out of the classroom. Any student found guilty of academic
dishonesty will be subject to disciplinary action.

Laboratory Reports:
Each lab report is worth 25 points and will consist of the following:
(5 Points) 1. Cover Page - Title of exercise
Student’s Name
Date exercise was performed
Date of report submission
(5 Points) 2. An introduction which states the purpose of the experiment with expected
results, in your own words. This should include a description of the
theoretical action of the circuit and a schematic drawing of the circuit
preferably using Electronic Work Bench.
(5 Points) 3. The Lab Workbook Sheet (or copy) with recorded results as well as any
calculations made to complete the experiment. This sheet must have been
initialed by the instructor. This section also includes the “For Further
Investigation” portion of the lab.
(5 Points) 4. A sheet which compares your Lab results with the stated expected
results and an explanation of why the achieved results were or were not
comparable. If the Lab's purpose is to prove a stated “Law”, be sure to
give evidence that the Law is proven. All observed wave forms should be
drawn and explained with reference levels and phase relationships
noted.
(5 Points) 5. There should be a final page where you will answer the lab Evaluation
and Review Questions and give your conclusions about the results of
your experiment. Give evidence to support your conclusions.
Note: Lab reports are to be neat and easy to read. Any calculations
necessary to perform the lab should be included with the report.
