To help in this process, you will turn in two drafts of the proposal. I will use the first to give you feedback about your idea, and to start the negotiations leading to assigning a difficulty factor. You should talk with me during the process of formulating your ideas and writing both proposals. A box will be provided in the EE Office, 209N WSEC, for turning the reports in. It is expected that each report will be the collaborative product of both partners, and each will receive the same grade.
Attendance is required at the lectures once the oral presentations start.
Oral presentations will be 10 minutes long. Your final grade in this course will depend mostly on my perception of your performance in designing, constructing, and testing the projects you work on during the semester. Of these three phases, the most important is design. During the inspections and particularly during the orals, I will be trying to determine how much of your project you designed, and how much you simply copied from a book or magazine or perhaps another student without understanding much of it. You will get little credit for the latter.
