Welcome to class! Take a look at this syllabus and the course schedule. |
Course Overview and Prerequisites:
The objective of this course is to give an introduction to digital logic design.
Some topics covered in this class include Boolean logic, finite state machines, two-level and multi-level combinational logic design, combinational modules and modular networks, Mealy and Moore machines, analysis and synthesis of canonical forms, and sequential modules.
The prerequisites for this course are CSE 20 or Math 15A, and CSE 30. CSE 140L must be taken concurrently.
Textbook
The required textbook is:
Contemporary Logic Design (2nd Edition)
by Randy H. Katz and Gaetano Borriello
Prentice Hall, 2004
ISBN: 0-201-30857-6
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 encourage 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, approximately 8 homework assignments will be graded. At the end of the quarter, we will discount your lowest homework grade. There will also be two midterm exams and one final exam. Your overall course grade will be determined by the following weighted combination of your performance:
- Homework (not including your lowest grade), worth a total of 15%
- Two midterm exams, each worth 25%, for a total of 50%
- Final exam, worth 35%
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. |
