Lectures, Quizzes, and Machine Problems

Lectures will be held MWF 13:00-13:50 in 3015 ECEB.

Every day, there will be a quiz on PrairieLearn. You can try the quiz as often as you like; your highest score will be retained. Quizzes submitted more than 24 hours after the start of class will be penalized five percentage points.

Machine problems are due on Gradescope by 12:59pm on the dates shown below. Machine problems may be submitted late with a penalty of only five percent.

Office hours are shared with ECE 537: every Thursday, 3-5pm, at the same zoom URL as lectures (see CampusWire).

An approximate lecture schedule is shown below (subject to change).
