LAB: Sec. 1 - M 3:10-6:00 PM in Rm. 152 Roessler
            Sec. 2 - W 3:10-6:00 PM in Rm. 152 Roessler

INSTRUCTOR: Daniel Cebra, 539 P/G, 752-4592, H 758-1213, cebra@physics.ucdavis.edu

GRADER: Daniel Cebra

LAB INSTRUCTOR: Solomon Obolu, obolu@ucdavis.edu

TEXT: Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering 2nd Ed., Leonard S. Bobrow. This quarter we will cover chapters 1 through 10 and Chapter 16.

HOMEWORK: Homework should be turned in at class. Students are encouraged to discuss the problems with other students in the class, however directly copying solutions is not acceptable. Use of solution sets, either published or copied from previous years, is not acceptable.

MIDTERM EXAMS: Monday Oct 29th and  Monday Dec 3rd . Each midterm will cover only the material fro the proceeding four or five weeks. The exams open note but are closed book. Students are encouraged to bring a calculator. All work should be shown explicitly - credit will not be given for the final answer alone.

FINAL EXAM:  Friday 14-Dec-07. 08:00 – 10:00 Room 140 Phys/Geo 

GRADE DETERMINATION: 10% Homework, 30% Laboratory, 30% Midterms, 30% Final Exam

OFFICE HOURS:
Cebra: Friday 2:00-3:00 PM, room P/G 539.

Solomon Obolu: M or W before class – by appointment
