EEET-425: Digital Signal Processing

Evaluation Criteria

Several methods of evaluating course objectives will be employed including traditional testing and homework as well as online and/or out of class assessments.

Laboratory

            You must complete and pass the laboratory component of this course in order to receive a passing course grade.

Homework

• Homework will be assigned and graded on-line. You will get a set of practice problems with solutions to better understand the problems, then answer separate but similar questions for evaluation.  You will enter your answers on-line.  It is to your benefit to complete the homework so that you get practice in solving the problems and better understanding the material

Quizzes

• Pre-lecture quizzes will be given on-line using myCourses.
• Quizzes close before lecture starts. Quizzes are time limited so you will have to read the text before beginning the quiz. You can take the quiz as many as three times and only your highest score is recorded. If you read the text, you should get 100% on the pre-class quiz.
• A random set of new questions is generated each time you take the quiz.
• The goal of the pre-lecture quiz is to guide you in recognizing the main points in the reading material before you attend lecture.
• Expect two or three unannounced post-lecture quizzes during the quarter on recent course/lab material. These quizzes may take place anytime during the semester. The goal of the post-lecture quiz is to assess your grasp of the material. As such the questions will be more involved.

Other projects and assignments

• There will be additional assignments such as completion of learning modules and programming assignments.  These will be announced in class and will be submitted on-line.

Midterm Exams

• Two midterm exams will be given.  Further details will be provided.

Final Exam

• A Final exam will be given after the close of the semester

Final Project

• In the last three weeks, you will design a digital signal processing algorithm for a medical monitoring device and implement that design in hardware, demonstrating that you can build a practical, functioning DSP system.
• You will document your work in a report written in the IEEE journal paper format.
• Additional details for the project will be provided during class and on myCourses.
• You will work with your lab team to complete the work and the team will submit one paper for grading.

Late Work

Quizzes and Homework due dates will be shown in myCourses.  No late quizzes nor homework assignments will be accepted.

Labs are due on the date shown in the schedule and in myCourses.  There is a 24-hour grace period for late labs.  After the 24 hours grace period you will be docked 10 points for a late lab up to 1 week late.  No labs will be accepted more than 1 week late.
