unofficial “wait list to get on to wait list” If you are not serious about the course, pleasedrop out soon so that those is the waiting list can enroll!7Copyright 2001  Mani SrivastavaCourse Logistics: GradingOne examination: 20%9th or 10th week … most likely a take-home during the weekend between Weeks 9 & 10Several home works: 17.5% totalanalysis, simulation, programming, library/web researchSeveral paper reviews: 5%Typically due Monday morning of the following weekCritique … not summarizeAround 0.5 page / paperPresentation: 12.5%20-25 min paper review or area survey (topic/paper specified by me)groups of two students (form them by end of W2, otherwise I’d assign)slides prepared jointly, speaker selected by me at the presentation timethis material is fair game for homework and exams!One project: 25% results, 10% report, 5% presentation = 40% totalsoftware/hardware design, tools, analysis, simulationgroups of up to two students (need not be the same as for presentation)30 minute presentation during finals weeklike a conference paper + talkClass participation: 5%E.g. questions that you ask during lectures and student presentationsE.g. how much you interact with me regarding the project8Copyright 2001  Mani SrivastavaCourse Logistics: ProjectDig deep into a focus area on your ownlectures would provide a “broad” coverageShould have some new idea/result, even if minorone or more of simulation, analysis, implementationno paper reviews and surveysProject proposal due by beginning of week 3some suggested project topics on class web page by Week 2But, I encourage you to think of your own topicmay relate to your own researchbut you may not “reuse” work already done or being done for some other purposeWhat should be your goal?something usefulsimilar style/quality as a conference paper and talkkey is to keep the project simple, and focusedaim for high quality!9Copyright 2001  Mani SrivastavaCourse Logistics: On the WebCourse web site URLhttp://www.ee.ucla.edu/~mbs/courses/ee202a/2001fOn-line materiallecture viewgraphs in PDF & PPTcheck before class, and print themviewgraphs are organized topic-wise and would span several classescopies of handouts, home works, exams etc.important announcementson-line reader with pointers to URLs, MelvylLast year’s lectures available athttp://www.ee.ucla.edu/~mbs/courses/ee298-2/2000f/lectures/Class mailing list[email protected]make sure
