Grading

Calendars

• Convert binary, decimal, and hex numbers from one to the other
• Find negative binary numbers (2's compliment); add and subtract binary numbers
• Produce truth tables for Buffer, Inverter, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates and combinations of gates.
• Given a table of Boolean Algebra rules, apply them to simplify complex equations
• Fill in a K-map from an equation or truth table; fill in a truth table from a K-map
• Simplify an equation using a K-map (2, 3, 4 variable) in either SOP or POS form
• Draw a circuit from an equation
• Change an SOP equation/circuit to a NAND/NAND circuit: Change a POS equation/circuit to a NOR/NOR circuit
• Use WinCUPL to program GAL devices to perform any combinational circuit which will fit in the chip
• Find outputs for any given input for adders (subtractors), comparitors, multiplexers, demultiplexers, decoders, encoders, and parity generators.
• Program these functions into a PLD using equations
• Build any combinations circuit with gates, MSI, or PLD devices on a breadboard
• Prepare written lab reports given writing guidelines
• Work effectively in teams

• The final drop deadline is strictly adhered to by the School and University - it is nearly impossible to drop after the final drop deadline.
• Take notes - you are responsible for all material covered in the text, class, and lab.
• Failing to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal. To withdraw from the class, request a Schedule Adjustment Form from the Department Office (see Pam in 209L). If you do not attend class and do not file a Schedule Adjustment Form, you will receive an ‘F'.
• An ‘F' in the lecture or an ‘F' in the lab constitutes an ‘F' final grade for the class.
• The instructor reserves the right to modify the syllabus and/or homework schedule. You will receive this information in class.
• Collaboration on homework assignments is fine; however, cheating will not be tolerated.

Lecture

• Regular attendance will be necessary for success in this course.  If lecture is missed, you should get lecture notes from a classmate (NOT the instructor). A significant portion of the class will be on lecure and lecture notes!
• Homework assignments and project requirements will be announced in lecture and/or lab.
• Late homework will be not be accepted for a grade, but should still be turned in.
• Make up tests will be at the discretion of the instructor. If you have a valid reason to miss a test (documented illness, death in family, etc.), contact the instructor prior to the exam.

Lab

• Perfect laboratory attendance is essential. If you are going to miss a lab, you must tell the instructor and your lab partner in advance. The lab must be made up within 10 days, and may not conflict with your next lab experiment.  Labs may be made up after 10 days for credit (to pass the course), but not for a grade.
• Computers are to be used for academic purposes only.  Unless the instructor suggests Web surfing, it is to be done on your own time.  As always, the Internet is to be used properly.  Do not visit improper Internet sites on University machines!  If you have a question as to whether a site is appropriate, feel free to ask the instructor or CNC staff member.  If you would be embarrassed to ask, it's probably not an appropriate site.
• The lab experiments will most likely not follow the lab book exactly, but the next experiment will be announced in class & on the Web. The instructor reserves the right to modify lab assignments from those in the lab book.

• Students will be required to maintain lab notebooks documenting lab work. These will be lab books that are available in the bookstore or composition books. Loose-leaf or spiral-bound notebooks are not acceptable for lab books.
• Important information on lab books can be found in your lab manual.
• All lab assignments must be completed and initialed in your lab book.
