Grading
Each students course grade will be based upon the total numerical score s/he earns, with the following point allocation for the exams, homework, and quizzes. Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam 3 Final Exam Homework Quizzes Total 100 points 100 points 100 points 200 points 50 points 50 points 600 points

Exceptions: If you get As on all midterms, then you can skip the final. If you get an A on the final, then you get an A in the class. Each ECE201 section has independent grading curve and rules.

Course Outcomes: A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated: 1. An ability to define and explain the meaning/function of charge, current, voltage, power, energy, R, L, C, the op amp, and the fundamental principles of Ohm's law, KVL and KCL. 2. An ability to write the equilibrium equations for a given network and solve using appropriate software as needed for the steady state (dc and ac/phasor) solution. 3. An ability to state and apply the principles of superposition, linearity, source transformations, and Thevenin/Norton equivalent circuits to simplify the analysis of circuits and/or the computation of responses. 4. An ability to qualitatively predict and compute the step responses of first order (RL and RC) and second order (RLC) circuits. 5. An ability to qualitatively predict and compute the steady state ac responses of basic circuits using the phasor method. 6. An ability to compute effective and average values of periodic signals and compute the instantaneous and average powers delivered to a circuit element. 7. An ability to compute the complex power associated with a circuit element and design a circuit to improve the power factor in an ac circuit. 8. An ability to determine the conditions for maximum power transfer to any circuit element. 9. An ability to analyze resistive and RC op amp circuit and design simple amplifiers using op amps.
