Extended lab 2

Dear students,

Extended Lab 2 has been graded, and the grades should be accessible to you in the gradebook module. I've observed an overall improvement in the quality of the reports, when compared to the previous one! You can also come pick up your reports in my office (24-216C), today after 4pm.

Also, I've noticed that only 8 people have filled out the course evaluation. I'd encourage you to fill out the evaluation. Please also share some constructive comments on what you liked and what you would like to see improve!

Problem Set 8

Good Afternoon,

I have still in my possession 7 Problem Set 8s. I definitely think that they will be helpful in your preparation for the final exam. Please email me if you would like your script.

I am generally on campus Monday to Friday 9 am - 6 pm. You will be able to find me in NW21. Email me what time you would be coming to collect and I will try my best to accommodate you. I'm on campus Sat and Sun as well but my schedule is not as strict.

In addition a friendly reminder that the TAs are here to help you not just for labs but for course material too! Email us if there is anything you don't understand as you prepare for the course!

Good luck for the finals!

Cheers,
Adam

Question on BJT material for the final exam

I've received some questions about bjt topics for the final exam:

Lecture 11 and 22 covers basics of the bjt operation. Lecture 23 covers the use of a standard four resistor bias network to put the bjt into active region, and same lecture covers the small signal analysis methods. These topics are fair game for the exam.

Lecture 24 is mostly applications/ additional examples of bjt application (not as foundational as lectures 11, 22 and 23), but the summary page 5 of lecture 24 may help you organize your studying, since if there is topic there you aren't comfortable with, that's a good topic to review. Please also review the Pset 8 solutions if you are looking for more worked examples. We will do a few examples at the review session Weds in class.
