Final Exam and Design Problem
Final Exam: You can see your final exam in Room 13-3058 on June 1, 2006, and until at least October 1, 2006. You can take the exam with you, but if you have any concern that errors were made in grading your exam you should sit in 13-3058, look it over, make note of the issues you have with the grading, and then leave the exam and make an appointment to see me about it. Once you take the exam out of 13-3058 we will not make any changes in our grading. The average on the final exam was 61.2 and the standard deviation was 16.8.Design Problem: You can pick up your design problem in 13-3058 between June 1, 2006 and at least October 1, 2006. The average on the design problem was 74.6 and the standard deviation was 14.3.
Overall Score: The average overall score was 67.3 and the standard deviation was 12.4.

FAQ #2: What will you ask on the final?
The final will cover the entire course up to the last week (not Lectures 25 and 26). There will be four problems tentatively covering (1) MOSFET issues, (2) junction device issues, (3) circuit issues in a design problem type context, and (4) anything not covered in 1, 2, and 3 in a set of short multiple-choice, explain-your-answer, concepts-oriented questions. The numerous examples of past final exams posted on Stellar should give you a good idea of what to expect.Announced on 16 May 2006 3:23 p.m. by Clifton Fonstad
FAQ #1: What am I responsible for?
Yes, Virginia, there is material in the text and even in lecture that you are not responsible for. Still, all of it is interesting and useful and worth knowing, so you are not in danger of learning too much. At the same time, if we haven't covered something in lecture, in recitation, or on homework, you needn't worry about it (high level injection, for example). Also, a number of items in the lectures are solely meant to broaden your knowledge, pique your interest, and/or give you something to write home to Mom and Dad about, so you need't worry about them either. I try to point this type of item out when I discuss it. In the end, if in doubt, ask.Announced on 14 February 2006 2:11 p.m. by Clifton Fonstad
