Hi class,

I've uploaded the schedule for the final presentations next week. 

We've increased the length of the presentation to 7 minutes for a one student project, 12 minutes for a two student team, and 18 minutes for a 3 person team.  I've updated the guidelines with this information.  This will give each person roughly 5 mins to present, with the remaining time for questions.  During the presentation, I will hold up a sign to indicate that there is 1 minute remaining, upon which you will have 1 minute to wrap up.  I would suggest that you practice the presentation beforehand to make sure you adhere to this time limit.

Hi class,

I have a few announcements to make about the final project report and presentation:

1) I've uploaded a document with project report and presentation guidelines.  Please read this carefully as it contains important information about both the report and final presentation.

2) Project reports with the technical summary sheet are due Thursday (12/2) at 5pm in 38-107.  You can find the project report templates (MS Word and Framemaker) as well as a sample project report on Stellar. You must follow the style guidelines provided in these templates.

3) Final project presentations will take place during two separate sessions on 12/7 and 12/9.  Please e-mail me your preferred presentation date by this Thursday (11/25).  We will try to accomodate your preference.

Please let us know if you have questions. Also, please try to keep Prof. Chandrakasan and myself informed about your progress on your final projects.

Hi class,

Many of you have been having problems with Cadence RTL compiler and/or Encounter when working remotely from home.  Please try to do the ASIC flow question in 38-301 to avoid running into problems because they have been specially set up for the CAD tools.

Thanks,
Marcus
