AR2: Midterm exam and PLA review and orientation Combinational circuits, methods, plans, VHDL, projects, applications |
[8/11] |
School days (activity restricted)
Some ideas and adaptations after
surveys, exams and questionnaires, let us see if we can
readdress the situation and complete our objectives:
- Classes are rescheduled after these exam weeks due to
weather complications.
- Today we will sit for a second chance Q1_4 (optional,
the better mark prevails).
- PLA4_2
report by November 14 is modified to include the solution of
the
Exam1
Problem1 (and it is also a good time for you for finding
solutions for the other exam problems or other doubts on
Chapter 1).
- PLA6 is suppressed; the new
PLA6_7
will include content from P5, P6 and P7 materials and labs.
- PLA9 assignment will be the same circuit that you
already designed in PLA2.
- PLA10 is suppressed; the new PLA10_11 will include
content from P10 and P11 materials and labs. This PLA10_11
is the same product that you will design in PLA6_7.
- Please, consider the way you are solving the PLA, LAB,
highlighted projects and class questions, you have to use
these projects to study in detail the subject content, for
instance to pass exams and thus pass the course.
- Consider the way you are imagining solutions: include
always flowcharts and schematics. Here everything is
discussed on paper schematics. The better you draw
schematics, the better you learn and we can help you when
asking questions.
- Consider the way you work or cooperate
in group. Your preference is working in teams rather than individually,
but be aware that working efficiently in group is very
demanding and much more difficult to learn and put into
practice.
- And finally, participate in class and ask questions:
the more active you are the better.
Questionnaire Q1_4 on chapter 1 materials and projects: P1 - P2 - P3 -P4 (second chance)
(Next semester: PLA1 ---> PLA1_1+PLA1_2; PLA2_3 ---> PLA2+PLA3, and PLA4 ---> PLA4_1+PLA4_2)
