This page and lists information relevant to students who wish to take ECE 220 with honors credits (e.g. James Scholars).
You must turn in the Honors MPs in addition to the usual MPs if you wish to receive honors credit in this course. These MPs must be worked on and turned in individually by every James Scholar. Late submissions will not be accepted for the honor's assignments. There will be no extra credit or bonus point opportunities for the honors MPs but James Scholars only need to score 300/500 to get honors credit provided that every MP is attempted.
For the honors labs, unlike the usual labs, there will be no worksheets to turn in. Attendance is also not recorded but it is highly recommended to attend. In the labs we will discuss the MPs and learn the concepts needed to complete them. The video recordings will be posted here.
