The emphasis is upon continuous-time signals and systems. The Matlab computer program is frequently used in the homework and projects. The tests and exam will be closed book, closed notes, and closed calculators. You are expected to be present for tests. Special test arrangements require a Dean's Office excuse.
Homework is a significant part of the course grade.
Homework will be assigned weekly, and completed problem sets are due at the beginning of class on the date specified, normally one week after the work is assigned. Partial credit will be given for partially completed assignments. Homework problems may be done cooperatively, and small homework teams are encouraged, but each individual is personally responsible for the problem material, must personally work each problem, must personally and legibly write out solutions, and must submit his or her own original computer output. If you and your collaborators are stumped by a homework problem, please check the newsgroup or ask your instructor or your TA for help. If you are stumped, it is likely that others are also, and that the subject warrants e-mail or classroom coverage.
