Course syllabus
In-class problems and discussions form the basis for the examinations SNAP quizzes (weekly, 15 minutes, 25%) and examinations (three, hour exams, 35% and a two hour final exam, 40%) are benchmarks of performance Blackboard is used for the course and laboratory documents and to communicate assignments

This course is the application of electrotechnology Professional career path in digital data communications Course sequence continues in EE4542 Telecommunication Engineering Read the assigned text portions and review your notes before class Weekly closed-book but open notes SNAP quizzes to assess performance
SNAP stands for Students Note-taking Achieves Performance and the 15 minute quizzes are open-notes but closed text book. Your organized notes are a compilation of reading the text and thinking about the concepts and are an aid to learning.
The SNAP concept relates to the learning process expressed in the Chinese proverb: I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.
I hear and I forget, Listening to the lecture I see and I remember, Reading the textbook I do and I understand. Compiling the notes The notes are to be handwritten to insure that the process works for you. No xerox copies or electronic versions or textbooks are permitted for use during the SNAP quiz.
Leonardo Da Vinci and his notebooks
The 15 minute SNAP quizzes are simple calculations and unit conversions (calculators are permitted) from formulas in your notes and conceptual answers to posed questions to assess your understanding of the basic concepts. The SNAP quiz is the assessment of your preparation and organizes your thoughts as part of the engineering method (not that shown here!).

Modulation (partial definition): 3: to vary the amplitude, frequency, or phase of (a carrier wave or a light wave) for the transmission of information (as by radio) Carrier (partial definition): 2: an electromagnetic wave or alternating current whose modulations are used as communications signals (as in radio, telephonic, or telegraphic transmissions
Chapter 1
Analog modulation: continuous information such as speech or video encoded as an amplitude Digital modulation: discrete information such as binary data encoded as a frequency shift or a phase shift
