            70  – 79   C

            60  – 69   D

Class overview

This is the first in a series of two basic electricity courses for industrial electricians.  It includes a study of electricity from its basic nature through resistive circuits with AC and DC voltages applied.  Basic circuit analysis with practical application is emphasized. 

Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes regularly. If absence from a class is unavoidable, it is the student's responsibility to explain the absence and arrange to complete any work missed. If the number of accumulated absences is determined to be interfering with your progress and ability to successfully complete the course, you may be withdrawn from the course without notice.

Ind study

            E-mail me once a week...

 
Lecture

Include lab preparation, example problem and general discussion.

Labs

We will work through approximately one lab per class meeting (two labs per week).  Work in groups of 2-3, individual reports to be handed in, graded, and returned. 

Homework

Periodic homework will be assigned with a due date.  Homework must be turned in on time to receive full credit.

Quizzes

            One per week, short answer.  (None for IND study)

Exams

Mid Term and Final will be comprehensive (covering all material up to the week of the exam).  Both will consist of true and false, matching, fill in the blank and problem solving questions taken from lecture and lab material.

Supplies

            Highly recommended: calculator with scientific functions
