4.) COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completion of this course, through attendance of class lectures, completion of text exercises,
utilization of breadboard circuitry and laboratory test equipment in accordance with lab instructions, the
diligent student should be able to:
1. describe the architecture and organization of a microcontroller.
2. write structured, well-commented, understandable programs in assembly language and in a
higher-level language.
3. develop skills to test and debug microcontroller programs in the laboratory.
4. understand techniques for interfacing I/O devices to the microcontroller, including several
specific standard I/O devices.
5. write programs in the laboratory to perform I/O using handshaking and interrupts.
6. Utilize various microcontroller peripherals.
These topics will be covered using the Microchip PIC16F1936 or Arduino compatible type
microcontroller.
5.) METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
PowerPoint Lecture, laboratory, and research will be the primary method of instruction with a focus on
problem solving. Class discussion and board participation, homework assignments, quizzes, exams,
independent study times, group or individual projects. Students are expected to have completed reading
assignments prior to class; students are expected to participate in class activities and visit CANVAS on a
daily basis for possible assignments. This class will heavily rely on Arduino compatible hardware.
6.) COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

Attend all classes promptly and on time. You are absent if you come 5 minutes late or you
leave the class before the end of time (Except special authorization by the instructor). Absences
will have a negative effect on the grade earned.
Student who accumulates six (6) hours of unexcused absences for this course may drop from
the course or will be assigned the grade “F” for the semester.
Participate in class discussion and hands-on-exercises.
Read assigned work in textbook or other material prior to attending each class.
In-class assignments, Homework Assignments, Quizzes (some may be unannounced), Student
missing an exam or a quiz or a homework due date will receive a ZERO for that exam, quiz, or
assignment unless they have discussed the situation in advance with the instructor and received

NOTE: Any student with a lab average of less than 70% will receive a failing grade for the course,
regardless of performance on other assignments.
Since these grades will be kept up to date throughout the semester it is not necessary to ask the instructor
about your status in the class, unless there is a written recommendation from an organization on campus
(i.e. band, football, etc.). The instructor will hold conferences at midterm to discuss with each student
the details of their grade. Please do not send emails, leave messages/notes inquiring about your grade,
and never slide anything under the instructor’s door unless told specifically by the instructor.
Occasionally, conflicts and confusion occur with grades. That is why it is required that all students keep
every assignment and test after it has been graded and handed back to you. If students notice any
discrepancy in their grade, he/she should immediately notify the instructor and bring all assignments that
they’ve completed. This is the primary evidence used, when determining where a mistake is made, so it
behooves students not to expect a mistake to be cleared up, if he/she has not been responsible enough to
keep up with his/her assignments.
The last day to drop this class and receive an automatic grade of “W” is April 5th, 2024. After this
date students will receive the letter grade they’ve earned regardless of how much work they’ve
completed and how many class periods they’ve missed. The instructor will NOT record grades of
AW, since students have ample time to determine their success level in the class. Please do not ask for
an AW, as the request will be denied.

NO MAKE-UP WILL BE GIVEN FOR MISSED QUIZZES OR EXAMS WITHOUT A
VERIFIED, VALID EXCUSE.
Failure to submit a lab assignment will result in the loss of at least one letter grade.
Bonus points may be earned for class participation, behavior, and exceptional performance on
assignments, quizzes, or exams. These points will be awarded at the sole discretion of the
instructor.

Final Project Summary
NOTE: The instructor reserves the right to adjust the course schedule as may be needed to facilitate
students’ learning of course material or due to unexpected events. Any adjustments will be
announced prior to change. Assignments will be defined in Class. Under no circumstances can a final
be given early. Each student should recognize what day and time his/her final exam is and plan
accordingly.
LAB: Due to the limited class time, you are responsible for finding some additional time in order to
complete your LAB work and return before the deadline. Any late LAB assignment will not be
collected.
STUDENT PREPARATION FOR EACH CLASS:
• Read the text chapters assigned per schedule.
• Review objectives from the chapters.
• Make note of any questions you may have to pose during class or via e-mail.
9.) CLASSROOM GUIDELINES:
Students are expected to act in a professional manner while in the classroom. Any student who uses
profanity, disrupts class, or acts in a threatening manner toward students or the instructor will be asked
to leave class. Re-admittance to class will be subject to the discretion of the instructor and the Chairman
of the department. Gentlemen are asked to remove any headgear while in the classroom. Also, students
should turn off their cell phones, pagers, 2-ways, etc. while class is in session. (See University
Electronic Devices Policy below)
In accordance with University policy, under no circumstances are visitors (including children) allowed
coming to class with a student.
10.)
ATTENDANCE:
Student who accumulates more than six (6) hours of unexcused absences for this course may drop
from the course or will be assigned the grade “F” for the semester. Attendance will be posted weekly
to CANVAS Attendance Program and your advisor might contact you in case of continuous absences
for counseling. Attend all classes promptly and on time. You are absent if you come 5 minutes late or
you leave the class before the end of time (Except special authorization by the instructor).
Exceptions to attendance and assignment/examination policies include the following: (1) attendance at
official Langston University events that requires students to attend will not result in lowered grade,
(Comply with University policy) (2) absences for illness, death of relative, injury, acts of God, military
activity, or jury duty are only excused with an official note from the office of academic affairs
concerning the absence and subject to the professor’s discretion. Foreseeable absences require
5
students to turn in assignments or take exams before the absence occurs. (Including athletic and
other University events)
11.)
ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMINATIONS:
Homework due dates will not be changed for any reason, so it is the student’s responsibility to check the
assignment schedule AND website (CANVAS) or Langston Email DAILY to see which assignments
are due. The instructor may or may not announce homework that is already listed on the assignment
schedule. It is mandatory for the student to complete ALL homework assignments as they come due.
All homework assignments will NOT be collected. The instructor will decide whether to collect the
homework on the day that it is due. Do not ask the instructor ahead of time whether he’ll collect the
homework. It is advisable to complete ALL homework assignments to ensure you will not get a zero.
There will be absolutely no acceptance of late homework. Homework is late any time after the
homework has been collected. Also, students should be aware that there will be occasional “pop”
quizzes at the discretion of the instructor. All quizzes will be closed book/closed notes with the
exception of the formula sheet provided by the instructor or prepare by the student. If a student comes
to class during or after a pop quiz, it is the instructor’s judgment to decide whether that student will be
able to take the quiz. In most cases, the student(s) will receive a zero.
12.)
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
According to the Langston University Student Catalog, the following will apply to cases of academic
dishonesty. The professor ordinarily has final authority over the grades given to students or the
lowering of grades because of cheating or plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of using the words and ideas
of others without giving proper credit.
•
•
•
•
13.)
Students will receive a grade of zero (0) on any assignment, quiz or exam on which cheating is
suspected.
Plagiarism will result in grade of zero (0) for that assignment, quiz, or exam.
This syllabus may be amended at any time during the semester. All changes will be documented
and discussed in class.
All reading assignments must be completed before the class session begins, if you expect to
benefit from the lectures and practical demonstrations in class.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM:
All electronic devices (e.g., cell phones, pagers, palm pilots, beeper watches) are considered
unnecessary distractions and are to be turned off and (with the exception of watches) concealed during
class. Thus, interacting with these devices during class will not be tolerated. Instructors may make
exceptions for instructional purposes. A student who anticipates an emergency and expects to be
contacted in class by an outside source must go directly through the emergency dispatch system
identified on each of the respective campuses. The emergency dispatcher will take the message and
deliver it to the instructor.
6
A student who fails to comply with this policy will be initially dismissed from the class and (per the
Instructor’s discretion) will be counted absent. Points may be deducted for work missed during that
time. A student who violates this policy a second time will be dropped from the course for
disruptive behavior. A student whose electronic device is activated during an exam will be dismissed
from the class and denied the opportunity to complete or take that exam. An Instructor may elect not to
grade that exam.
14.)
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
The following will apply to cases of academic dishonesty. The instructor ordinarily has final authority
over the grades given to students or the lowering of grades because of cheating or plagiarism. If it is
established by clear and convincing evidence that cheating or plagiarism has occurred,
a) The instructor will take appropriate academic disciplinary action which may include the
awarding of an “F” on the particular assignment or in the course.
b) The instructor will make a report of the incident and of action taken, if any, to the departmental
chair, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Student Affairs, and the
student.
c) The Student Disciplinary Committee may review the incident and impose conduct discipline,
including conduct probation and suspension.
d) The student may, if he/she so desires, discuss the matter with the Student Disciplinary
Committee and/or the Student Judicial Court.
