SWITCHING CIRCUITS
New  Mid-term solutions <<Link>>.
New  Lab 4 on MIDI is ready to go: IMPORTANT NOTE:
We
will allow one lab report per group for lab 4 only. The reason is that
the labs will run until April 8 and the exam is on April 11. Having
one lab report per group should reduce the amount of work during
the last week of classes. As an option you may still submit individual
lab 4 reports.
We will follow the following grading scheme for lab 4.
Part 1 prelab 5
Part 1 checkout 5
Part 2 prelab 5
Part 2 checkout 5
Lab 4 consolidated 80
Total for lab 4 is 100
IMPORTANT Lab 4 will count double as it extends over 2 lab
periods.
New  Assignment 4 <<Link>> Due March 18, 2016 at noon in the drop boxes. Note:
You need the content of lectures 15 & 16 (This week) to complete this assignment.
Important Notice: Lab 4 extends until the last week of class.
Students doing the lab on Friday will have a lab on April 8.
New  The mid-term exam completed grades will be posted on Mar. 02. Check your
grade on CuLearn. When the grade is posted you may pick-up your mid-term from
Dr. Gauthier (MC 7042). Mid-terms are not returned in the lab sessions.
If you missed the mid-term you are temporarily assigned an ABS grade, this will be
converted to 0.00 eventually. If you have a valid reason see Dr. Gauthier at MC 7042
(See me in person, no e-mails, ,…..). With a valid reason ABS will be converted to
GTF (Grade To Final) and the 20 % will be added to the weight of the final exam.
NOTE: All students with ABS need to see me again even if you already contacted me.
New  There are issues with CuLearn grade posting. If you did the mid-term and
are missing a grade it is most likely a CuLearn issue. See me to get the OFFICIAL
grade. I am in the process of trying to fix CuLearn.
Good Friday Lab issue. Accreditation requires that all students complete all the labs. We
do not have the flexibility of cancelling the lab for some students while others do all the
labs. As a results students who would normally be scheduled to do their Friday lab on
Good Friday, will need to complete the lab on another day and in another session. The link
to the attached document provides a possible solution for most students. <<Link>>

techniques used for state reduction. The
second lecture of of the week will examine
additional examples of FSM design AND state
reduction. Additional scanned notes for state
