Discussion |
The embedded laboratory at EBU3 3219 is dedicated for CSE140L
this quarter. We have 15 PCs with windows XP pro installed with ISE9.2i. (the software we need to use in this lab) Each PC also has a Xilinx XUP Vertex-II Pro connected to it. To access the
laboratory, you will need to activate your student ID with related CSE stuff.
Students work
in a group of two. Depends on the total number of
students, we may need to further divide the class into two big groups A and B
due to the limited resources we have. Each big group will have a priority time
slot for using the laboratory each day. During the priority time slot for Group
A, Group B may use the laboratory if less than 15 small groups of Group A are assigned for that time.
Obtaining additional
assistance
The
easiest way to get answers to your questions about the course is by asking them
in lecture, discussion section, and office hours. You can also ask questions by
sending email to the instructor and TA. We will try to respond to your
questions as quickly as possible, but sometimes a prompt response may not always
be possible.
You
are also encouraged to post questions to
WebCT, where we as well as other students
can also try to help you with your questions. We will be monitoring the content
daily.
Any
students who feel that they may need additional accommodation due to a
disability should contact the instructor privately to discuss these specific
needs. Also, contact the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) at (858)
534-4382 as soon as possible to better ensure that such accommodations, such as
alternative test-taking environments or note-taking services, are implemented
in a timely fashion.
Grading
During this course, 4 Lab assignments will be graded.
There will also be one final exam. Your overall course grade will be
determined by the following weighted combination of your performance:
---Lab assignments(70%)
---Demonstration
---HDL
description and timing verification (in report)
---Answering
questions (in report)
---Final exam(30%)
Each group submit one
report on each assignment.
Acceptance of late work
No
late assignments will be accepted. Exceptions for UCSD-sponsored athletic or
other extra-curricular activities, documented medical emergencies, death of an
immediate family member, or other such life-altering situations must be
requested from the instructor as soon as possible.
Regrade requests
Requests
for a grade change need to be submitted in writing together with the already
graded homework or exam at the end of
class when the graded homework or exam was returned to all
students. Thorough review of the entire homework or exam will be performed, and
points may be added or subtracted. After the readjusted homework or exam is
returned, you may set up an appointment to discuss the results.
Academic Dishonesty
As
students in this offering of CSE 140, you are expected to know and abide by the
UCSD
Policy on Integrity of Scholarship (as described in the Student Conduct
Code in the UCSD General Catalog), the Jacobs School of Engineering Student
Honor Code, and the course policy described here. Please take a few moments
to read and review these policies.
Homework
must be completed individually. You are encouraged
to discuss the homework with others, but you may not copy answers.
All exams are individual effort. Dishonest behavior will not be tolerated
during an exam. Since you are expected to complete all homework and exams by
yourself, you will be held responsible even if you plagiarize only a small
portion of someone else's work. Furthermore, providing your work for others to
copy is also considered as academic dishonesty.
Any
student violating UCSD's Academic Dishonesty or UCSD's Student Conduct policies will earn an 'F' in the
course and will be reported to their college Dean for administrative processing.
Committing acts that violate Student Conduct policies that result in course
disruption are cause for suspension or dismissal from UCSD.
