The scribe notes should be written in prose English, as if in a textbook, so that someone who did not attend the class will understand the material. Please do your best, as it is good practice for communicating with others when you write papers in the future.

Exam

All quizzes and exams are closed book, closed notes but you will be allowed one hand-written, double-sided cheat sheet. To get full credit, you must attend the exams. No makeup quizzes or exams will be given unless the instructor excuses the absence.

Laboratory

In Fall 2020, labs are held through ASU Sync. Lab instructions are posted on Canvas and are the same for all sections of the course, independent of the instructor. There are four lab assignments and a separate Capstone Project Lab. Details on the Capstone project will be thoroughly discussed in class. Every student should sign up for the Piazza associated with the labs in Fall 2020. You may find the link on Canvas.

Lab Reports

• Lab results (schematic diagrams, timing diagrams) will be filled into a lab template. Lab templates will be posted on Canvas.

• Lab templates have to be completed and submitted individually. No group submissions will be accepted.

• Copying full reports or sections of other students, except for data generated as a group effort, is considered an academic integrity violation and will be reported.

• Students have to indicate their lecture session (instructor and meeting time) as well as the names of their lab partners on the lab submission.

• Submissions have to be in electronic format (doc or pdf, no individual jpegs) and have to be submitted via the submission link on Canvas. No paper or email submissions of lab reports will be accepted.

• Late lab submissions will be penalized at a rate of 10% per day late, up to a maximum penalty of 50%. No lab reports will be accepted after 5 working days, unless there is a valid excuse.

Capstone Project

• This lab has to be performed individually, not as a group.

• Students have to pick a one-hour time slot within their session to demonstrate a working finite state machine design, implemented in programmable logic, to the TA, and explain the operation to the TA to be graded and approved for completion.
