There will be weekly laboratories, starting from the
second week. See the syllabus and schedule sheet. Each laboratory takes 2
hours, and students are required to submit a lab report within the laboratory
session. Depending on the size of enrollment, several sections will be created.
The current plan is to offer 1~2 sections on Thursday and 2 sections on Friday.
The sections will be finalized by the end of the first week, and students will
be assigned to one of the sections by Tuesday, February 12. All the
laboratories will take place in Room 1-103.
This semester is the final offering of 2.010, as announced earlier. In case students (Course 2 undergraduates) are unable to complete 2.010 this term, they must take an equivalent course offered in other departments. The following subjects have been approved for alternatives to 2.010:
1) 16.060, Principles of Automatic Control,
Units: 3-2-7 Fall Term Offering
2) 6.302, Feedback Systems, Units: 4-2-6

Each
student’s grade in this course will be determined based on the following:
1.
Three
in-class quizzes to be given during the term.
60% of the course grade will be based on the
quizzes; 20% each.
2.
Timely
submission of complete solutions to all problem assignments. 10 problem sets
will be assigned. 20% of the course
grade will be based on these assignments.
3.
Attendance
to all 9 laboratories, and submission of brief lab reports to be completed
during the lab session. 20% of the
course grade will be based on lab attendance and reports.
There will be 3 quizzes, each covering the material up to the last lecture one week prior to the quiz. All quizzes are close-book, but 2 sheets of notes are allowed.
A weekly homework assignment will be given every Thursday except for the weeks having quizzes. The following Thursday is the due day, and solutions will be provided immediately after the due day. Assignments will be graded as follows:
P+ Student is on top of the material
P Student understands most of the
material
P- Student is having
some trouble with fundamentals of the material and could benefit from more
study, or seeing the instructor or the TA’s
F Student doesn’t
understand enough of the material, or his/her homework shows little effort
Miss Homework not turned
in.
Late Late homework; Late
homework will not be graded
3 quizzes (20% each) 60 %
Homework assignments 20 %

%
Total 100
%
Collaboration is not permitted during quizzes. To facilitate learning the material, students are encouraged to discuss weekly problem assignments with one another. However, each student must submit his/her own solution to each problem set.
To the greatest extent practical, the problem assignments and quizzes will be based on new material. Use of old material from previous years in solving homework is expressly forbidden and is likely to lead to incorrect answer.
