Course Overview EE 564 © H. Heck 2008 Section Expectations What to expect from me: Effort to convey the subject matter as clearly as possible. To use your feedback clarify the material where needed. Emphasis on application with real world examples. Basics plus contemporary & future issues. Homework problems that reinforce and expand the lecture material. To teach you enough that you could execute the design of a high speed interconnect.

Course Overview EE 564 © H. Heck 2008 Section Expectations What I expect from you Prompt attendance. We’ll start on time. Effort. The only way to get a poor grade is to demonstrate poor effort. You will help yourself if you study the lecture notes prior to the class in which they are covered.  I will warn you in advance of specific topics, descriptions, derivations, etc. that I expect you to learn on your own.  By doing this, we’ll get to cover the advanced material that should be part of a graduate level class. Feedback. During class & as part of a weekly assignment.

Course Overview EE 564 © H. Heck 2008 Section Weekly Feedback Assignment Due each Monday at 8 a.m. Send to my address. Content: 1.What was the most useful thing (for the week or in each lecture) that was covered in the lecture(s)? 2.What was the concept (week or per lecture) that needed further explanation or clarification?
