Course Policies
Prerequisites:
EEE 350 Random Signal Analysis at ASU or an equivalent upper-division undergraduate course that covers probability and the fundamentals of one and multiple random variables
Undergraduate course in linear algebra
Thorough knowledge of one-variable and multi-variable calculus
Piazza: The main mode of electronic communication between students and staff, as well as amongst students, will be through https:piazza.comasufall2019/eee554. Piazza is intended for general questions about the course, clarifications about assignments, student questions to each other, discussions about material, and so on. We strongly encourage students to participate in discussion, ask and answer questions through this site.
Collaboration: You are encouraged to work on homework problems in study groups of no more than 3 people; however, you must always write up the solutions on your own, and you must never read or copy the solutions of other students. Similarly, you may use books or online resources to help solve homework problems, but you must always credit all such sources in your writeup and you must never copy material verbatim. Offering and accepting solutions from others is an act of plagiarism, which is a serious offense and all involved parties will be penalized according to the Academic Honesty Policy.
Quizzes and Exams: All quizzes and exams are closed books and notes, a single letter-sized notes sheet (front
and back) is allowed.
Scribe: We need volunteers to take notes each class, type them up, and send them to me so they can be uploaded for the entire class. Each student can scribe at most 2 lectures. Scribing is NOT mandatory but it is highly encouraged. To get extra credit, you must take notes and type them in the provided template. Extra points are at the instructor’s discretion and depend on the student's effort. You can download the template here.
