6.002  Circuits and Electronics

A few notes on future courses

Those of you who may be interested in continuing to develop their interest in hardware/circuits might have some questions about future courses in EE. Here are some options to consider seriously:

(1) circuits-focused courses like 6.012 (more materials and semiconductor devices) and 6.301 (analog electronics) are clear follow-on options for 6.002. 6.301 may be the more challenging option, so a 6.012 followed by 6.301 may be a good choice, but that isn't mandatory

(2) Hands-on courses like 6.101 (Analog Electronics), 6.115 (Microcomputers), 6.131 (Power Electronics), are really fantastic options.

(3) For those interested in how EE and information intersect, 6.003 will explain more about signals and systems.

(4) for those with more interest in the physics side of things, 6.007, 6.013 and 6.014 (not sure when that will next be offered) are attractive options.

Hope you find future courses of interest to you in these offerings, and feel free to be in touch if you have further questions or would like more advice on these topics.

Final grades issued

Final grades have been issued. If you would like to review your final exam, you may do so in person in the mornings between 9 and 1 in suite 36-213. Please arrange with Dorothy Fleischer, and she can provide you with a graded hardcopy which you will have to return. Final exams do not circulate.

Stellar has no way to accurately calculate your bonus credit. If you have questions about your bonus credit, you may inquire with one of the course staff, but bonus credit was included in your final grade calculation (typically a boost of 3-5% for most students).

Thank you all for your active participation in the class.

Stellar Gradebook Updated, Last Office Hours

We've posted all of the homeworks, midterms, and quizzes to the Stellar gradebook. The grades should reflect all regrade requests that have been requested as of this writing. We have not taken into account your extra credit.

If you find any discrepancies between your grades on Stellar and your grades on Gradescope, please let us know ASAP so we can finalize your grades before you go into the final.

Also as a reminder, the TAs will be hosting the final, extended office hours of the semester from 4 to 8 PM in 34-304, starting in one hour!
