Required Texts/Readings
“Fundamentals of Electric Circuits”, 5th Edition, or later edition, by Alexander and Sadiku, McGraw Hill.
Dropping and Adding
Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drop, grade forgiveness,
etc. Refer to the current semester’s Catalog Policies section at
http://info.sjsu.edu/static/catalog/policies.html. Add/drop deadlines can be found on the current academic
2
calendar web page located at http://www.sjsu.edu/academic_programs/calendars/academic_calendar/. The
Late Drop Policy is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/aars/policies/latedrops/policy/. Students should be
aware of the current deadlines and penalties for dropping classes.
.
Homework
Homework will be assigned periodically but will not be collected. Solutions to homework problems will be
provided. Tutorial and solving homework problem sessions will be given on Fridays (time will be
announced). Please make every effort to attendant and benefit from these tutorial sessions.
Exams
There will be two midterm examinations, pop quizzes, and a final exam. The midterm exams dates on the
course schedule are for reference only. The actual exams dates will be announced in advance. The final
exam will be given on Thursday, December 15, 12:15-14:30. All exams will be closed-books, however a
sheet of formula will be provided by the instructor for each exam. A photographic ID will be required.
Unless there is a documented, serious explanation for missing an exam, make-up exams will not be allowed.
Pop Quizzes
• Quizzes are given on timely fashion. They are based on the two recent homework
assignments, the material and relevant examples discussed on the two most preceding
class lectures.
• There is no make up for the quiz- no exception!
Grading Policy
The following weighting will be used in calculating the overall course grades.
Quizzes: 15%; Midterm #1: 25% Midterm #2: 25%, Final Exam: 35%
Academic integrity
Your commitment as a student to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University.
The University’s Academic Integrity policy, located at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/S07-2.htm, requires you
to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the
office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The Student Conduct and Ethical Development
website is available at http://dev.sjsu.edu/studentconduct/.
Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism (presenting the
work of another as your own, or the use of another person’s ideas without giving proper credit) will result
in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the
individual student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include your assignment or any material
you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSU’s Academic Policy S07-2
requires approval of instructors.
Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to make special
arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as
possible, or see me during office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities
requesting accommodations must register with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at
http://www.drc.sjsu.edu/ to establish a record of their disability.
EE Department Honor Code
The Electrical Engineering Department will enforce the following Honor Code that must be read and
accepted by all students.
I have read the Honor Code and agree with its provisions. My continued enrollment in this course
constitutes full acceptance of this code. I will NOT:
3
• Take an exam in place of someone else, or have someone take an exam in my place
• Give information or receive information from another person during an exam
• Use more reference material during an exam than is allowed by the instructor
• Obtain a copy of an exam prior to the time it is given
• Alter an exam after it has been graded and then return it to the instructor for re-grading
• Leave the exam room without returning the exam to the instructor.”
• Department policy mandates that the student or students involved in cheating will receive an
“F” on that evaluation instrument (paper, exam, project, homework, etc.) and will be
reported to the Department and the University.
• A student’s second offense in any course will result in a Department recommendation of
suspension from the University.
