| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: 80% of grade | |||||||||
| The evaluation
in the classroom will be determined by a combination of chapter tests,
homework, a final exam, and laboratory activities. The percentage
that each of these factors count and the frequency of tests and homework
is left to the discretion of the instructor, but the following if offered
as a guide:
Chapter Tests: 55% Homework: 5% Final Exam: 20% |
|||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: 20% of grade | |||||||||
| The laboratory
portion of the grade will be determined by a combination of performance
within the lab and the quality of demonstrated comprehension of the lab
report. A lab test and lab project may also be included. There
will be at least twelve labs during the semester to go along with the classroom
material.
The laboratory serves as a medium for verifying classroom theory. The laboratory report serves as a means to practice both organizing a laboratory notebook and presenting technical observations in written form. Clean, concise, well-organized report writing in an engineering environment is of paramount importance to the EET student. Correct usage of English in the report is necessary and will be evaluated. The report grade may be reduced up to two grade levels as a result of incorrect usage of English. A. Straight Line Program B. Arithmetic and Logic Instructions C. Logic Analyzer Basis D. Program Branches and Logic Analyzer Usage E. Additional Instructions F. Extended and Indexed Addressing G. The Stack Operations H. Subroutines I. Lab Test (Logic Analyzer) J. RAM Interfacing K. EPROM Programming and Interfacing L. Interfacing Switches M. Interfacing LEDs N. The PIA O. The ACIA |

| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi
State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled
instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must
be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory
meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).
Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice
president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are
more stringent.
Attendance is required to all lab sessions unless excused by the instructor. Students missing more than four unexcused sessions will receive an "F" and no credit will be received. Students tardy past half an hour will be considered absent. |
|||||||||
| B. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| The student is encouraged to read the regulations for student conduct in the PSTCC Catalog and Handbook. | |||||||||
