Makeup Class
▪ There are chances that we will not have the lecture.
• Holidays : 5/6
• My business trips (will notify later) : 5/6 and 5/8 by now.

▪ Primarily, the makeup class will be conducted in the

following ways.
• I will record a video and upload.
• (It will not happen much) If I feel it is needed, I will book a time
for the makeup class.
- Typically late afternoon or night

Things about Lab.

▪ We will distribute our own lab notes describing the
experiments.
• Lab notes are distributed one week before the experiment.
• Lab notes describe the requirements for both pre-lab and final-
lab reports.
▪ Pre-lab reports are designed to prepare you for the lab
experiments.
• Design the circuit that you will measure in the lab.
• Simulate the circuit using LTSPICE software to understand the
expected results
• Submit your pre-lab reports to ETL before each lab session
- Late submissions will result in a 50% deduction of your grade.

Things about Lab.

▪ Final-lab reports summarize what you did during the lab
experiments.
• Analyze the measured data for model fitting or compare them
with LTSPICE results.
• Describe what you learned and discuss possible causes for any
discrepancies.
• Final-lab reports are due one week after each lab session.
- Late submissions will result in a 50% deduction of your grade.
