A bonus point opportunity

Students in ECE201-004 Spring 2015 have the opportunity to earn bonus points by creating exercises or lectures related to linear circuit analysis. These bonus points will not have a significant impact on your letter grade, but will help tilt the balance towards a higher grade if you are close to the threshold. Also, they will be the difference between an A and an A+. Keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity. The material must be original, created by you. Plagiarizing or simply copying lecture notes found on the internet will be considered cheating and will result in a significant lowering of your grade. Read Rhea's copyright policy before proceeding.

The easiest way to create material is to start from one of the templates below. Go to the desired template, click "Edit this page" in the left hand menu, and COPY the template source code. DO NOT EDIT THE TEMPLATE DIRECTLY. Then, come back to this page and click the link "Create a child page" on the left hand menu. You may now paste the source code and start editing it. Once you are done, make sure to post a link on this page to your newly created one. You can always find the pages that you have recently edited in the "User" menu above, under "Contributions".

Mathematical formulas are written in latex (see link below for examples). Circuits can be hand-drawn, scanned, and uploaded as images.
