What you have to do to complete the course: |
| Project: Show and tell is Tuesday afternoon (unless everyone wants it to be on Wednesday morning?). For this you should have your project working, and be ready to explain it to the other students and me. On Wednesday, you should turn in a write-up on your project, including a clear and thorough circuit diagram, an explanation of how it works, your thoughts on how it might be made to work better, and maybe a recounting of whatever didn't work out so well. If you want to put the whole writeup in your lab notebook, and then turn in the notebook, that's fine; I'll return your notebook next week. |
| Final Exam: This is a take-home, written test, similar to the midterm, except that it is longer and covers the whole block. This means you will get a chance to redeem any regrettable work you may have done on the midterm. I have some hard copies, and I've emailed the Word file to the whole class list. |
| Clean up the lab: Take apart all your circuits, sort and correctly put away every component, throw away all the burned-out and broken stuff, and throw out all other debris. |
| Common questions from the final: Problem 6 refers to Figure L10.4, not to the section 10-4. On problem 3, the two output connectors are the normal two output connectors that you would have from any voltage source: the output voltage is the potential difference between these two connectors. Also, you can assume a sinusoidal signal is coming out of this function generator. For problem 5, the voltage is a smooth, continuous function of temperature - if T increases, so does V; if the input voltage range seems inconvenient, you should think of how to make it more convenient. |
