Dec 22 at 12:25; room to be announced. (*) Don't skip any labs. Makeups are freely given — if you miss a lab due to research activities or illness, please see the instructor as soon as possible. (**) The homework is assigned two ways. Each week in the laboratory, there is a worksheet that you must complete and turn in before the laboratory. Some weeks, this is difficult enough that it constitutes the ‘homework’ for that week. Other weeks, homework problems will be assigned on Tuesday in class and due the following Tuesday in class. Late homework will be accepted only if there is a research or illness- based excuse.Physics 623 Lectures and Labs — Fall 2007 Week Date Lecture Topic (Tues+Thur) Lab (Wed) Laboratory Text reference 1 Sept 4 Linear Circuit Theory DC Sept. 5 Hands-On Introduction Ch. 1 Sept. 6 Linear Circuit Theory AC 2 Sept 11 Transmission Lines Sept. 12 Transmission Lines Handout Sept. 12 Intro.- Basics- Ohm’s Law Ch. 1 3 Sept. 18 Transistor Amplifier Sept. 19 Transistor Amplifier Ch. 2 Sept. 20 Difference/Cascade Amplifier Ch. 2 4 Sept. 25 Neg.
