Fundamentals of Logic Design, 6th Edition by Charles H Roth, Jr. and Larry L. Kinney, Cengage
Learning, 2010
The purpose of Lab Assignments is to reinforce the material
studied in the course. There will be 9
Lab Assignments distributed over the semester, with a Design Project at the
end. Students will work
individually.
Detailed Instructions regarding Lab Procedures are found in the Lab
Policies and Procedures document.
The Final Project will require solving a more complex design assignment
that builds on work performed earlier in the semester. A student must successfully complete the
Final Project with a grade of 70 or better to pass the course.
Homework is assigned on the Class Schedule. Homework is due at the beginning of the
class. Once the lecture begins, homework
is late. Late homework assignments will
not be accepted.
MS Word or equivalent will be necessary for Lab Reports. Graphics must be created using a graphics
program. Since you will perform your
simulations in MultiSim, it is recommended. Additional acceptable programs include Visio,
PowerPoint, or similar graphics programs.
Graphics may not be hand-drawn.
The two major examinations and the comprehensive final examination
will be old-fashioned paper, pencil and calculator exercises.
The University of Texas at Arlington is on record as being
committed to both the spirit and letter of federal equal opportunity
legislation; reference Public Law 93112 ¾ The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as
amended. With the passage of new federal legislation entitled Americans with
Disabilities Act ¾ (ADA), pursuant to section 504 of The Rehabilitation Act,
there is renewed focus on providing this population with the same opportunities
enjoyed by all citizens.
As a faculty member, I am required by law to provide
"reasonable accommodation" to students with disabilities, so as not
to discriminate on the basis of that disability. Student responsibility primarily
rests with informing faculty at the beginning of the semester and in providing
authorized documentation through designated administrative channels.
It is the philosophy of The University of Texas at Arlington that
academic dishonesty is a completely unacceptable mode of conduct and will not
be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic dishonesty will be
disciplined in accordance with University regulations and procedures.
Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the University.
"Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to
cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for
credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to
another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to
give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." (Regents' Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3,
Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22).
The first time a student is found guilty of Academic Dishonesty a
grade of 0 will be assigned for the assignment.
This 0 may not be dropped when the lowest grade is dropped. The second time a student is found guilty of
Academic Dishonesty a grade of F will be assigned for the course.
