*To receive full credit labs and SPICE programs must be turned in by the following week (e.g.,
Thursdays lab on Thursday). Reports turned in within one week late will lose 25% credit, beyond one
week 50% credit.
Participation:
To receive credit for participation, you must attend the lab and perform the experiment. You can work
individually or with a lab partner. Both partners must know how to operate the equipment and take
proper measurements. Dont let your partner perform all of the measurements while you record the data.
For PSPICE you must work individually. In all cases except the lab exams, you are encouraged to assist
your fellow students. On the lab exams, you will work individually.
Cheating:
You are encouraged to collaborate with your classmates on laboratories, but the lab report and PSPICE
should be your own work. Cheating of any kind on the lab exam will not be tolerated. All university,
school, department rules apply.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES: Students who may need accommodations due to disability should
contact the Office of Disability Resources (ODR) to discuss specific needs. The ODR is located on the
third floor of the Student Union & Library Building, Room 341. If accommodations for a student are
approved by that office, the student must provide his/her instructor with a copy of the official
accommodations letter as soon as it is received in order to obtain
