Guidelines:
Each Friday there will a quiz at the end of class. Each quiz will be graded
and returned during the following week's laboratory session. Solutions
will be posted the weekend following each quiz. The purpose of our quizzes
is to encourage you to keep up with the homework assignments and to permit
us to evaluate your progress regularly.
Concept Checks will be an important part of each class. Typically two or three circuit situations will be compared and a a simple question posed regarding their relative behavior. You will be given a minute or so to think quietly about the question, followed by another minute or so to discuss the question with a neighboring student, where you attempt to work out an answer in consensus. I then ask for a show of hands for each possible answer so that I may determine if you understand the concept well enough to continue.
