quizzes
• Everything is live here
o Classic in-person lectures in EH 1200
▪ Invited presentations by representative faculty in EECS
o Attendance is mandatory
• Grading policy
o No online quizzes so no need to ask
o Attendance (50%)
▪ If you come regularly, it would be fine because there is roll call to
confirm attendance
▪ You may miss one live lecture
▪ Every additional missed lecture results in one letter grad reduction
• Unless dismissed with a valid doctor’s note
o Final assignment (50%)
▪ Brief essay on an EE or CpE topic of your interest
• Summarize the most interesting topic presentation
• Or subtopic of a presentation that you want to study towards
▪ Your program of study with your selected courses
• Study the engineering plaza
• Do not just follow what your peers are doing or what you are
being pressured to follow

• Final course evaluation
o All course instructors are graded by course evaluation
▪ Want to know how to improve the course
▪ If there is anything that students would like to change
o Open until end of 10th week (Sunday night)
o Now through June 10, 2018, 11:45 pm
o Online via EEE evaluation application
• Mandatory evaluation of course and instructor
o Voluntary
o Anonymous
o Very valuable
• Feedback is appreciated; it takes only 5 minutes
Academic Honesty
• Honesty and integrity are required
o Some cases, as much as 10% of students violate this
o Honesty and integrity are very important and should NOT be taken for
granted
▪ Want to do things right and not cheat a way through the system
o See UCI office of academic integrity and student conduct
▪ Created 2 years ago (was a different name before)
▪ Makes sure that students are following these guidelines
▪ Course instructors send in reports to the office
• They are bound to check on assignments, projects, tests,
anything done on campus
• And to report it to the office where action will be taken
o See course policy on course web site
• Plagiarism
o Every year, there is always some. 10%, in which the number never really
seems to change
▪ Striving for a lower and lower percentage every year
▪ It is VERY easy to fall into the trap, but it should never be done
• It is very hard to get out of
o Theft of intellectual property
▪ Some think it is easier to steal work such as homework
▪ Or copy off the answers to a test from your neighbor
▪ This is the same kind of theft as if you’d gone to a bank and stole
money from them
• Since it is intellectual property, it might even be more grave
a situation
• And has the same kind of dire consequences
o Taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own
