Laboratory Assignments and Schedule
Fall 2011 Exam Schedule
Closed-book exam. One 8.5” x 11” two-sided formula sheet allowed. No electronic devices allowed except for standard scientific calculators that are not capable of wireless or infrared communication. All cell phones, smart phones, iPods, laptops, etc. must be left in your backpack at the front of the room.
5:00-7:00 pm Academic Integrity Issues: (Read before taking any exams in this course.)
I believe that upholding academic integrity and abiding by ethical principles are fundamental to the practice and profession of electrical and computer engineering. In fact, the IEEE, the world’s largest professional society with 375,000 members, abides by the IEEE Code of Ethics, in part: “We, the members of the IEEE, in recognition of the importance of our technologies in affecting the quality of life throughout the world, and in accepting a personal obligation to our profession, its members and the communities we serve, do hereby commit ourselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct and agree ..” See the complete IEEE Code of Ethics online here.
It is my belief that following ethical principles in this class is fundamental to your future contributions to society as electrical and computer engineers. Therefore, ECE 331 will adhere to the Academic Integrity Policy of the Colorado State University General Catalog and the Student Conduct Code, which states, “Any student or student organization found to have committed or to have attempted to commit the following misconduct is subject to disciplinary sanction.” A full list of what is considered misconduct is available here.
Specifically in ECE 331, academic integrity will be taken very seriously, and violations will be dealt with harshly. On homeworks and laboratory assignments, you are free to discuss the work from others and learn in a group setting. However, you are representing the work you turn in as your own. Therefore, you are required to write all homework answers and prelab/lab reports yourself. Academic penalties are decided on a case-by-case basis, and the typical penalty for cheating on a midterm or final exam is a failing grade for the course. To promote academic integrity, you will be asked to write out the CSU Student Honor Pledge on the last page of your ECE 331 midterm and final exams: “I have not given, received or used any unauthorized assistance on this exam,” and sign your name to give your promise of and commitment to academic integrity. The CSU Student Honor Pledge is described at the TILT Academic Integrity web page here.
