Exam Policy: 1) One page (front and back) of *your own
handwritten*notes. 2) No graphing calculators.
Topics: Dynamical modeling and ordinary differential equations. Linearization and linear systems. Time domain properties of solutions, convolution. Laplace transforms, transfer functions. Fourier transforms, frequency response, spectra. Sampling and discrete signals. z-transform, discrete Fourier transform. Matlab for signals and systems.
Academic Dishonesty Policy: I plan on following the University rules on academic
dishonesty (if you are considering taking chances, click here
and read the lengthy Section 22.23). As a page of notes and a simple calculator
are allowed during exams, it is specifically forbidden to: 1) collaborate or
look into someone else' s work or their notes, 2) share either your page of
handwritten notes or your calculator. It is unfortunate that exams are
conducted in crammed conditions, so please keep your attention focused on your
own work. Even if I don't notice collaboration or peeking into your neighbor's
work, keep in mind that if your work is similar to someone else's (and
especially if it is so in an idiosyncratic or erroneous manner), this
constitutes evidence of academic dishonesty. Regarding homework, submitting
work that is not your own constitutes academic dishonesty. There are two
penalties for academic dishonesty: (1) any form of it will result in a failing
final grade in the course; (2) it is the instructor's responsibility to report
all instances of academic dishonesty to the student's college. I have
been forced to pursue this procedure in the past and in the most serious case
it has resulted in a student's suspension (even though it was the student's
first offense). What is important to note is that not just me, but also your
colleagues are watching you and have as much interest in a fair grading
environment as I do. In most cases that I have pursued, the offending
activities were reported to me by students in the class.
