Final exam scores and final course grades can be found here. Data is sorted by the last 4 digits of your student ID.

All grade disputes MUST be resolved by 7 pm on Monday, March 24th. No extensions are permitted, since grades must be submitted by Tuesday. If you have a dispute with your grade, please make sure you review the calculations on the grade spreadsheet and also review the solutions to the final exam (posted below) before you email me.

Final exam stats: Average = 17.28/42 Stdev = 8.02
• If you got above 31, it's an A (2)
• If you got between 23.5 and 30.5, it's a B (3)
• If you got between 17.5 and 23, it's a C (6)
• If you got between 12.5 and 17, it's a D (8)
• If you got below 12, it's an F (6)

Final exams scores and final course grades will be posted by tomorrow afternoon.

Errors in the answer keys to the practice finals:
• December 9th final: #8-#9 (in the case where D1 is off and D2 is on, there should be a 0.3 v battery to model the D2 diode, not a short circuit...This will change Vd1 to -10.3 v and Id2 to 4.7 mA, but not affect the final conclusions)
• June 11th final: #20 (Vds = 3 v, not 0 v for Vgs = 0 and 1 v)

Solutions to the last two sets of homework have been uploaded. You now have everything you need for Tuesday's final exam.

I will be in my office from about 3 pm to 4 pm on Tuesday if you have any last minute questions before the final exam.

Solutions to the Chapter 6 homework have been posted. Also, some slight corrections were made to the Excel spreadsheet used to calculate your course grade. (calculation of the midterm and final exam percentages were not correct)

On Thursday, we will cover material in Chapter 15 (Magnetic Materials and Transformers). There is a pdf file below that contains the slides I will use during that lecture. There are also slides at the end of the lecture which will be used to introduce concepts in Chapters 10 and 12 (Diodes and FET Transistors).

Midterm 2 solutions have been posted below.

You are allowed to use up to 2 pages of notes (8.5" x 11" paper) for today's midterm exam.

I've also added a link below (under Course Resources) to an on-line version of the textbook.

Homework problems for Chapter 6 are now available.

Office hours will be held from 1 pm to 2 pm, in case you have any last minute questions before the 2nd midterm exam.

Solutions for the Chapter 4 and 5 homework problems have been posted. You now have everything you need for Tuesday's midterm exam.

A review session for the 2nd midterm will be held on Sunday, February 17th at 1:30 pm over by the Baskin Engineering whiteboards (near my office). Please show up promptly, as we may move to a classroom if there is not enough room for everyone. Come with questions or problems you can't figure out, as there will be no set agenda.

Just as a reminder, office hours for EE 70 are held from 1:30 pm to 2 pm (in BE 129) and also after class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you want to see me after class, just let me know before you leave lecture. I am more than happy to stay as late as needed.

If you are not able to make it to office hours, I would suggest either email-ing me or instant messaging me during the week. I suppose you could also try to talk to another EE professor, but their priority is the students in their class. In addition, they are not writing the exams and content for the course.

Solutions to the 3rd set of homework problems have been posted below.

Several files on the web server were damaged or deleted today. Please let me know if you have any problems with any of the links below.

Solutions to the first midterm have been posted below.

Please check your first homework to see if you name was originally on it. There is one student who did not put his/her name on the paper. As a result, your first homework score may be currently a 0 if you do not have your name on the paper. Please see me if this applies to you.

In problem #16 of Midterm #1 (Fall 2003), the input resistance of the op-amp should actually be 1 M-ohm, not 100 k-ohms.

Solutions to the second homework can be found below. You now have everything you need for Tuesday's midterm exam.

You can use one page of notes on the midterm. (8.5" x 11" paper, both sides)

Solutions to the second homework set will be posted on Saturday night. Please make sure you have finished the problems before then.

I've posted a summary of some of the topics we will have covered up to the first midterm exam. We'll go over this on Thursday.

Solutions to the first homework assignment have been posted.

To properly complete the last example I worked on in class (i.e. calculating the Norton resistance in 2.83), you need to connect a test voltage to the 2 terminal output AND zero out all independent voltage sources. If you remove/short circuit the 20 V battery and analyze the circuit, you will get Norton resistance equal to what we found earlier. We'll briefly go over this problem again at the beginning of lecture on Tuesday.

Change in office hours: Since there doesn't appear to be another class that meets in PhySci 130 after our class, I will just hold office hours in the classroom from 4 pm to 4:30 pm. Stick around after class if you have any questions. Before class (1:30 pm to 2 pm), you can catch me in my office (BE 129).

After class today, someone walked away with the add codes for the lecture portion of the course. Please return that form to me in class on Tuesday. It is not for you to keep.

Lab and discussion sections start next week. (week of 1/13)

Additional content added:
• A link to the materials which will be used for the EE 70 labs
• A spreadsheet you can use to calculate your course grade

EE 70 labs will be held at two different times:
• Wednesdays from 3 pm to 5 pm
• Fridays from 11 am to 1 pm

Discussion sections will be held from 6 pm to 7:10 pm on Thursdays in BE 169. The starting dates for labs and discussion sections will be posted at a later date and time. For more details about the labs or discussion sections, contact the TA.

Materials for Winter Quarter are now available. Homework problems will be added to the web page as the quarter progresses.

Materials for Winter Quarter should be available shortly.
