Course Content Learning Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1) Determine voltages and currents in a DC circuit consisting of resistors, current sources, voltage
sources, and dependent sources.
2) Determine Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuit of a DC circuit and find the maximum power
output of a DC circuit.
3) Determine the DC gain and operating point of an OP amp circuit.
4) Determine the transient response of a first and second order circuit consisting of RLC.
5) Determine the sinusoidal steady state response of a circuit consisting of RLC.
6) Determine the power delivered and absorbed by an element in a RLC circuit

Homework
Homework will be assigned every week. The homework will be posted on the D2L web page on
Wednesday and due on the following Wednesday in the beginning of the class. The homework
grader will collect the homework outside of the classroom until 10 minutes after the starting of
each class. NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. Students are encouraged to discuss
homework problem but copying is considered cheating. The lowest two homework grades will not
be included in the calculation of the overall course grade.
Exams
There will be two midterms and one final exam. The midterm exam dates on the course schedule
are for reference only. The actual exam date will be announced in advance. The final exam will
be on Saturday December 15:00 to 11:15. All exams will be closed-book; however, a formula
sheet will be provided by instructor. A photographic ID will be required. Unless there is a
documented, serious explanation for missing an exam, make-up exams will not be allowed.
Quizzes
There will be in-class quizzes every week.
Grading Policy
The following weighting will be used in calculating the overall course grades. Online homework,
quizzes and lab: 15%, In class quizzes: 20%, Midterm #1: 20%, Midterm #2: 20%, Final Exam:
25%

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 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.
Information about the latest changes and news is available at the Advising Hub at

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/S072.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:
 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.
