Tutorial and Extended Tutorial


Tutorial assignments every week; solutions to be discussed in tutorial
class; short Tutorial Quiz to be conducted.

Separate assignments on model implementation and SPICE
simulation; final results to be demonstrated before TAs; new set of
problems to be issued based on students' performance.
 Student Evaluation
 Tutorial Quiz : 15%
every following week of tutorial class
 similar problem with different data sets

 SPICE Simulation: 15%

 final results be demonstrated before the
TAs or instructors
 more marks for completing more number

of problems sets
 Quiz I → 15%
 Quiz II → 15%
 Final → 40%
 Expectations

 100% attendance
 HW problems (numerical and simulation) to be
solved individually
 Discussion is OK but not outright copying
 Communicate to teachers and TAs about
course problems
