4 15 -Final Exam TEXTBOOK/REFERENCE MATERIAL/SUPPLIES: 1. (Preferred) Digital Electronics a Practical Approach with VHDL 9 th edition; by William Kleitz, Pearson, ISBN-10: , ISBN-13: OR a. Digital Electronics a Practical Approach 8 th edition; by William Kleitz, Prentice Hall, ISBN: , ISBN-13: Scientific Calculator (TI-30 or equal). *Cell phones WILL NOT be allowed during any testing, only calculators. 3. Writing materials for taking notes. 4. Wire cutter / stripper tool. Students may vary in their competency levels on these abilities. You can expect to acquire these abilities only if you honor all course policies, attend classes regularly, complete all assigned work in good faith and on time, and meet all other course expectations of you as a student. GRADING CRITERIA Lab Practicals 40% Unit Exams % Assignments % Final Exam.15% GRADING SCALE % = A % = B % = C % = D 59% or less= F MAKE UP OF LATE UNIT EXAMS AND ASSIGNMENTS: Make-up of late unit exams and assignments will be allowed, but only up to two weeks late. There will be repercussions, and they are as follows: A. 7 points deducted on late unit exams. B. 10 points deducted on late lab practicals. C. 5 points deducted on late assignments.

5 D. NOTE!!! 20 points will be deducted if the student does not put away all the materials used for lab at the end of the lab session. E. No further late work will be accepted two weeks prior to finals; consequently, this will automatically constitute a zero grade on the late assignment. DEPARTMENT PARTICIPATION POLICY: It will be the student s responsibility to read all assigned materials, complete all homework or class assignments as well as all laboratory exercises. The student will be expected to attend all lectures. There will be open discussion and analysis of all circuitry in which your participation is expected. You are expected to attend all classes - both theory and labs. Arrive on time, the instructor is not required to provide the student with missed lecture material if he/she does not attend the class/lab session or has not made arrangements prior to the absence. Failure to comply with lawful direction of a classroom instructor is a disruption for all students enrolled in the class. Cheating violations include, but are not limited to: (1) obtaining an examination, classroom activity, or laboratory exercise by stealing or collusion; (2) discovering the content of an examination, classroom activity, laboratory exercise, or homework assignment before it is given; (3) using an unauthorized source of information during an examination, classroom activity, laboratory exercise, or homework assignment; (4) taking an examination or turning in homework for another person; (5) using any unauthorized form of electronic communication device during an examination, classroom activity, or laboratory exercise; (6) Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the using, stating, offering, or reporting as one s own, an idea, expression, or production of another person without proper credit. If caught cheating you will get a zero! Instructors cannot drop students or award grades of W based on non-attendance. If you fall behind during the semester and are unable to catch up, it is the student s responsibility to drop the course prior to the last day for withdrawal, without incurring a grade of F. The withdrawal process will not be initiated by the instructor. ELECTRONIC DEVICES: Pagers, cell phones, music players etc... are not to be used during lecture. Cell phones and pagers will need to be turned off or set to vibrate. You may use cell phones, but only in the hallway. Be considerate of the distraction caused to others by these devices. CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR: It is expected that Your behavior is pleasant and courteous to everyone. 2. You do not eat or drink while at the lab bench.

6 3. You keep your work area clean (pick up after yourself). 4. You put equipment, Components (resistors, capacitors, coils, relays, LEDs, manuals, cables, meters, ETC ), away when you have completed your tasks. 5. You do not hold personal conversations during lecture. 6. You practice SAFETY!!! TREATMENT OF THREATS: "TSTC Harlingen faculty, staff, and students are asked to report all threats, perceived or real, immediately to College Police located in the Auxiliary Building. If the threat is imminent, the College Police emergency phone line at: ( or 911) from a cell phone or (ext or 9-911) from a land-line phone on campus should be called. College Police will then coordinate the proper response in accordance with State and federal laws and TSTC System/College rules and regulations. After hours (after 5pm) or on weekends, the (956) number automatically rolls over to the COPS Line (956) All buildings now have the emergency numbers on the entrance doors. All other issues pertaining to student conduct, standards, policy and expectations will be in accordance with TSTC Student Handbook. ACCOMMODATION STATEMENT: If you have a documented disability which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as the instructor has outlined and/or if you need special accommodations due to a disability, please contact (956) or visit Support Services Office located in Tech Prep Bldg. P as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements.
