EEL 5544: Noise in Linear Systems

Fall 2003 ( 1558X)

• Solid understanding of systems theory, including convolution, Fourier transforms,
  and impulse functions. Elementary circuit theory, including transfer function concepts.
  
  
• Computer requirement: Some problems will requireMATLAB. Students may want to purchase the student version of MATLAB to ensure access to the software as needed. Note: Not being able to access a public computer will not be a valid excuse for late or missing homework assignments.

• Attendance:
• Perfect class attendance is not required, but regular attendance is expected, and a class participation grade will be assigned.
• It is the student's responsibility to independently obtain any missed material (including handouts) from lecture. Lecture notes will not be provided.
• There will be no make-up exams. 
• Late Assignments: 
• Most ECE courses have too many students to expect the instructor or the TA to keep track of late assignments. They may be misplaced or may result in delayed or missing grades. Therefore, the following late policy will be applied with no exceptions.
  
• First late assignment = grade reduction of 25% , if it is received before the solutions are posted. (Otherwise, the grade will be zero.)
• All other late assignments =  grade of zero .
• FEEDS students: Any deadline adjustments due to work schedule/travel must be pre-approved by the instructor.
• Individual Effort: All assignments are assumed to be an individual effort unless otherwise specified by the instructor.
• Announcements: 
• All students are responsible for announcements made in lecture, on the student access website, or via the class email list.
• It is expected that you will check your gatorlink email and the student access website several times per week (preferrably the night before each lecture) for possible course announcements.

• Students with disabilities:

• All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this committment will result in disciplinary action.

This statement is a reminder to updhold your obligation as a student at the University of Flordia, and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this class and all others.
