Introduction to Diodes and Transistors Frequency Domain Nonlinear Systems Linear Systems Operational Amplifiers Op amps Transient Circuit Analysis RC and RL Circuits START DC Circuit Analysis Resistive Circuits Digital Logic Boolean Algebra General Course Introduction Prequisites and Course Load Prequisites Official Math 1B Physics 7B Unofficial I will only assume you know how to differentiate and integrate simple functions like x2 Course load 14 hours of instruction week 6 hours lecture 6 hour two 3 hour sessions lab and 2 hours of discussion You may end up working 15 hours week outside of class Hence this class is like a full time job Course Materials Book James W Nilsson and Susan A Riedel Electric Circuits 8th Ed GET THE EDITION WITHOUT THE PSPICE SUPPLEMENT DO NOT

FINAL Syllabus and Lab Schedule contd Chapters refer to your book nonlinear notes can be found on the EE100 homepage Check the Handouts link Usually you are not responsible for some sections from a chapter If that is the case I will inform you in class well in advance of the reading Homeworks refer to end of the chapter problems For the nonlinear problem set s check the course homepage Homework should be READABLE by the reader s If they are not we WILL NOT grade them HOMEWORKS ARE DUE ON MONDAYS 2 00 PM IN THE HOMEWORK BOXES IN THE CORY LOUNGE 240 CORY NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED NO EXCEPTIONS Homeworks can be done in groups of upto 2 or 3 students TURN IN INDIVIDUAL COPIES AND IDENTIFY YOUR PARTNER S IN EACH COPY MAKE SURE YOUR NAME SID AND LAB SECTION TIME ARE ALSO VISIBLE There is no lab the first week of classes EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST DISCUSSION SECTION Monday 9 00 AM 11 00 AM there IS discussion the first week of classes For lab guides prelabs and lab reports check Course Materials chapter Syllabus and Lab Schedule contd Resources Your fellow students are the most important resource Me the TAs Course website http inst eecs berkeley edu ee100 Newsgroup http groups google com group ucberkeleyclassee100su07 REGISTER ON THE NEWSGROUP BY THE END OF THE FIRST LECTURE There may be tutoring available via HKN EECS honors society http hkn eecs berkeley edu There is a website for the course textbook http cwx prenhall com bookbind pubbooks nilsson2 However it is not necessary to go through this site inside out It just serves as extra reference material Enrollment Information Lecture attendance is optional Waiting lists should not be an issue YOU MUST ATTEND YOUR LAB SECTION You cannot switch out of lab sections because it creates a logistical nightmare for us Make sure you are in groups of two If there are an odd number of students the TA may form group s of three Please refrain from asking HW questions in lab this is what the discussion sections and office hours are for Discussion sections are optional but I highly encourage attending them since the course moves very quickly and you may need all the help you can get Policy on Cheating IF WE CATCH YOU CHEATING YOU ARE SCREWED I WILL GIVE YOU AN F IN THE COURSE AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE THROWN YOU OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY Exams and Grades Grading policy goals1 it should provide a reasonably accurate measure of your understanding the material it should minimize competitiveness and grade pressure it should minimize the time I spend arguing with you about your points Grade breakdown 99 100 A 90 99 A 87 90 A 83 87 B 80 83 B I want the class average to be a B 77 80 B 73 77 C 70 73 C 67 70 C 63 67 D 60 63 D 57 60 D 57 F The grading scale above means 89 999 is an A Also THERE IS NO CURVE Although I want the class average to be a B I will NOT curve down If all of you get an A thats awesome However if the class average ends up being a C because of an exam then I will decide the exam is at fault and adjust your grades accordingly1 1Ref CS61A Course Handout Harvey Brian Exams and Grades contd Percentage break down of points EE100 Percentage break down of points
