Our lectures start tomorrow (Wednesday, January 6th) at 1PM. We meet in Simrall 100 (the auditorium). This class is relatively large, so try to get to Simrall 100 before 1PM so we can all be settled in and ready to start at the appointed time. There is a required (paper cover) book for ECE1002. You must own this book for the class, so you may want to swing by the bookstore. I look forward to meeting you. JWB ------------------ J.W.

Also, slides from the lectures have been uploaded to the Blackboard site. (Look under "Presentations".) You will want to look over the lecture slides as this week's quiz (available Thursday 5PM to Friday 5PM) will be taken from the class lectures to-date and the assigned text book reading. Thanks.

The quiz is available from Thursday 5PM until Friday 5PM. You have one hour (per attempt) to take the quiz, and are provided with three attempts. Your last quiz score is accepted as your grade. This quiz grade is droppable. I encourage you to attempt the quiz with a serious effort as these first few quizzes are relatively easy grades. A few "ground rules" for online quizzes: ========================================== * Remember to "save" the answer on each quiz question. (You'll see the button below each quiz question) * Don't forget to click "Fiinsh" to submit your quiz when you finish the last question. (Again, this should be obvious when you get there.) * Network/server outages and computer problems are __NO__ excuse for not submitting the quiz. You have 24 hours to complete the quiz, so start early to make sure everything works out in time. * Be sure to submit your quiz before the prescribed deadline... Friday at 5PM. If your quiz is open past this time, the server will not accept your attempt. * Use only Firefox or Internet Exploder to take the quiz. Blackboard gets indigestion if you try to use most any other browser. * Follow any and all instructions very carefully. The quiz is graded by the Blackboard server. Unfortunately, the Blackboard server cannot grant partial credit. * The grade computed by the Blackboard server is final. See you in class on Wednesday. jwb ------------------ J.W.
