ECE 205: Introduction to Electric and Electronic Circuits
We will solve worksheet problems in class. A subset of these problems are also posted on Prarielearn as multiple choice questions.
Worksheets 1-3 will be due by 02/19/21 (day of Quiz 1) by 10:00 PM. This will give us flexibility to turn them in given the online setup, different time zones, and take care of unforeseen circumstances.
Please note that no exception will be made if worksheets are not turned in by the due date. It is strongly recommended that you turn in worksheet as we finish them in class.
HW must be turned in by the due date on Prarielearn
