Laboratory classes will commence from the week of September 9, 2013. For the day and time of your lab section, refer to the schedule attached at the end of this document. Laboratory practices will take place in rooms S-H 855.

For those who miss out a lab session due to personal reasons, a make-up week would be made available towards the end of the semester. There would be a lab exam after all the experiments are finished. The date of this examination would be announced later. Laboratory manuals can be purchased from Concordia Book store .

Tutorial: Tutorial classes begin from the week of September 16, 2013, to help students with the practice problems and other related problems.

Soft skill component (Skill type L: Life- long Learning) R. Raut, Ph.D. Page 2 of 6 September 2013 (The following material will not be covered in the lectures. The students will be required to study on their own. There will be one question related to the following material in the final examination. It is obligatory that each student answer this question.)

1. Introduction to Active filters and Tuned amplifiers: Filter transfer functions; first and second order networks; second order active RC filters; tuned amplifiers. (Suggestion: Read sections 16.2,16.4, 16.7, 16.11 of ref. book #1).

Practice Exercises: Please check my personal website (it is not MOODLE!) for the problem sets. These are for your practice. Solutions/hints will be posted on my website at a later time.

Mid-term Test: Week of October 14, 2013 (details will be notified soon)

Evaluation 1. Laboratory Component Procedure: (a) Performance of experiments with reports 10% (b) Laboratory test 10% (c) Oral test on laboratory work 5% NB The student will be given a fail grade in the course if he or she does not secure 50% (12.5 points out of 25) in the laboratory component of the course.

2.Lecture component

Scheme A

1. Mid-Term Test 15% 2. Tutorial class quiz 10% 4. Final Examination 50%

For the tutorial classes a list of problems will be provided in the website for prior practice by the students.

(No make up test/quiz will be given. If a student cannot participate in any of the items #1,2 above, he/she will be automatically graded according to the scheme B noted below.

Scheme B

Final examination 75%

*** Each student will be given better of the two scores obtained under schemes A and B, at the end of the Final Examination.***

3. Bonus assignment

R. Raut, Ph.D. Page 3 of 6 September 2013 Each student will be given an assignment (work at home) related to the materials of Electronics-II and Electronics-I courses. There will be a deadline for submission of the work. More details will be posted on the personal website of the professor.

50% of the score in the bonus assignment (full score 10 marks) will be added to the final score of the student before calculation of his/her letter grade.

ELEC 312 lab schedule and related information

Location: Lab will be held in H-855 starting the week of September 9. The regular session of the labs ends on Friday, November 15.

Make-up: Make-up sessions will be held during November 19-22.

Lab Exam: A lab exam of 60 minutes duration will be held during November 26-29. This examination will test your experimental skill and will be held in H855.
