Homework will be assigned to provide practice solving problems on the topics covered in the
readings. Homework will be assigned on a module basis. Credit will be based on the work
shown and the final answer. Correct answers to problems that require substantial work may not
receive full credit if the work presented is insufficient. Homework may be hand-written,
however, answers deemed illegible by the grader will be considered incorrect.
Quizzes will be given approximately once a week to assess student mastery of the material
covered in the homework. Quizzes will be given online (this may change). The lowest quiz
score for each student will be “dropped” at the end of the semester. Quizzes will assess all of the
course outcomes above.
Two exams and a comprehensive final exam will be given to assess student's attainment of the
student outcomes above. The exams dates will be:

Mid-term Grade
Mid-term grades will be posted in myUK by the deadline established in the
Academic Calendar (http://www.uky.edu/registrar/content/academic-calendar)
EE282/CPE282 Laboratory Component
For those students enrolled in either EE282 or CPE282 there is also a required one-hour lab
component that focuses on the application of the material covered in class. Your section number
determines the time of your lab, which will meet nine times during the semester and complete 7
lab exercises. For each lab exercise, there will be a prelab exercise due at the beginning of your
lab, a lab exercise to complete during your lab time, and a brief report summarizing your design.
You will work in teams of two throughout the semester. We will leave it to you to determine
your lab partner. The grade for this component is on a Pass/Fail metric, and passing is required
to pass the course. The minimum grade to pass the lab component is a 70%.
Lab Meeting schedule
The lab will meet according to the course schedule found on Canvas. Our first meeting time this
semester will be the week beginning August 29th.

Attendance
Attendance is required for all labs. It will be important to arrive on time, as we will usually start
with some important notes and a brief lecture at the beginning that is important for successful
completion of the lab exercise. An absence places an undue hardship on your lab partner. We
understand that sometimes you must miss a lab due to an excused illness or excused university
activity and we will arrange times to allow you make this up as needed.
Grading
Your final grade for the lab component will be Pass/Fail, and the impact on your final grade for
EE282 or CPE282 will be a binary multiplier (1 for Pass, 0 for Fail). Thus if you have an 85%
for your grade in the EE280 course material and you pass the lab component then your grade is
an 85%. If you fail the lab component with that grade then your course score will be a 0%.
For each lab exercise, there will be a prelab assignment due at the beginning of your lab meeting,
a lab exercise to complete during your lab meeting, and a brief report summarizing your design
due before your next lab meeting. The prelab and lab will be assigned during the week before
your meeting. The prelab and lab report will be graded for quality and completeness. You must
complete each lab exercise to pass the course. If for some reason you cannot complete your
design during your scheduled lab time, then make-up times will be provided throughout the
semester. Prelabs and lab reports will be weighted 40%/60% respectively, and the Pass/Fail
metric will be ≥70%.
Lab Materials
Lab materials are provided. However, if you would like to purchase your own hardware please
visit the IEEE store in room FPAT 560.

Course Policies:
Re-Grading and Make-up Assignments
While we will make every effort to ensure accurate scoring. If you think an error has been made
in the scoring of any assignment and you wish to request a re-grade for that assignment, you
must submit the request to “Instructors” through Piazza within two weeks of the posting of the
score for the assignment. We will review requests within a week and, if necessary, send you
instructions on how to proceed.
If students miss assignments due to excused absences (defined by the university policy below),
they are expected to complete these assignments within two weeks of returning to class. Submit
your excused absence documentation via Piazza to “Instructors” and you will receive instructions
on how to makeup the missed work.
Submission of Assignments
UK Canvas (uk.instructure.com) will be used for posting class announcements and assignments.
Use your Link Blue login and password to access Canvas based courses. Canvas is also
accessible through a smartphone app. Students are responsible for regularly checking the class
Canvas site and checking email.
Attendance Policy
Attendance may be taken at all class and lab meetings. Students are expected to withdraw from
the class if more than 20% of the classes scheduled for the semester are missed (excused or
unexcused) per university policy.
Excused Absences
Students need to notify the professor of absences prior to class when possible. Senate Rules
5.2.4.2 defines the following as acceptable reasons for excused absences: (a) serious illness, (b)
illness or death of family member, (c) University-related trips, (d) major religious holidays, and
(e) other circumstances found to fit “reasonable cause for nonattendance” by the professor.
Students anticipating an absence for a major religious holiday are responsible for notifying the
instructor in writing of anticipated absences due to their observance of such holidays no later
than the last day in the semester to add a class. Two weeks prior to the absence is reasonable, but
should not be given any later. Information regarding major religious holidays may be obtained
through the Ombud (859)257-3737,
http://www.uky.edu/Ombud/ForStudents_ExcusedAbsences.php.
Per Senate Rule 5.2.4.2, students missing any graded work due to an excused absence are
responsible: for informing the Instructor of Record about their excused absence within one week
following the period of the excused absence (except where prior notification is required); and for
making up the missed work. The professor must give the student an opportunity to make up the
work and/or the exams missed due to an excused absence, and shall do so, if feasible, during the
semester in which the absence occurred.

Verification of Absences
Students may be asked to verify their absences in order for them to be considered excused.
Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 states that faculty have the right to request “appropriate verification” when
students claim an excused absence because of illness, or death in the family. Appropriate
notification of absences due to University-related trips is required prior to the absence when
feasible and in no case more than one week after the absence.
Academic Integrity
Per University policy, students shall not plagiarize, cheat, or falsify or misuse academic records.
Students are expected to adhere to University policy on cheating and plagiarism in all courses.
The minimum penalty for a first offense is a zero on the assignment on which the offense
occurred. If the offense is considered severe or the student has other academic offenses on their
record, more serious penalties, up to suspension from the University may be imposed. Refer to
the University Senate Website for the current definitions, rules, and guidelines covering
academic integrity issues.
Plagiarism and cheating are serious breaches of academic conduct. Each student is advised to
become familiar with the various forms of academic dishonesty as explained in the Code of
Student Rights and Responsibilities. Complete information can be found at the following
website: http://www.uky.edu/Ombud. A plea of ignorance is not acceptable as a defense against
the charge of academic dishonesty. It is important that you review this information as all ideas
borrowed from others need to be properly credited.
Senate Rules 6.3.1 (see http://www.uky.edu/Faculty/Senate/ for the current set of Senate Rules)
states that all academic work, written or otherwise, submitted by students to their instructors or
other academic supervisors, is expected to be the result of their own thought, research, or selfexpression. In cases where students feel unsure about a question of plagiarism involving their
work, they are obliged to consult their instructors on the matter before submission.
When students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas,
organization, wording, or content from another source without appropriate acknowledgment of
the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism.
Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work (including, but not limited to a published
article, a book, a website, computer code, or a paper from a friend) without clear attribution.
Plagiarism also includes the practice of employing or allowing another person to alter or revise
the work, which a student submits as his/her own, whoever that other person may be. Students
may discuss assignments among themselves or with an instructor or tutor, but when the actual
work is done, it must be done by the student, and the student alone.
When a student's assignment involves research in outside sources or information, the student
must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she has employed them. If the
words of someone else are used, the student must put quotation marks around the passage in
question and add an appropriate indication of its origin. Making simple changes while leaving
the organization, content, and phraseology intact is plagiaristic. However, nothing in these Rules
shall apply to those ideas, which are so generally and freely circulated as to be a part of the

public domain. Please note: Any assignment you turn in may be submitted to an electronic
database to check for plagiarism.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The University of Kentucky is committed to our core values of diversity and inclusion, mutual
respect and human dignity, and a sense of community (Governing Regulations XIV). We
acknowledge and respect the seen and unseen diverse identities and experiences of all members
of the university community (https://www.uky.edu/regs/gr14). These identities include but are
not limited to those based on race, ethnicity, gender identity and expressions, ideas and
perspectives, religious and cultural beliefs, sexual orientation, national origin, age, ability, and
socioeconomic status. We are committed to equity and justice and providing a learning and
engaging community in which every member is engaged, heard, and valued.
We strive to rectify and change behavior that is inconsistent with our principles and commitment
to diversity, equity, and inclusion. If students encounter such behavior in a course, they are
encouraged to speak with the instructor of record and/or the Office of Institutional Equity and
Equal Opportunity. Students may also contact a faculty member within the department, program
director, the director of undergraduate or graduate studies, the department chair, any college
administrator, or the dean. All of these individuals are mandatory reporters under University
policies.
