All labs must be attended and completed. In the event that you cannot attend a lab, prior approval must be obtained. In such case, it is required that you make up the lab at another time.
Satisfactory completion of all the labs is required for passing the course. If you are unable to complete the lab in the assigned lab time, it is expected that you would complete the lab on your own.
At the beginning of a lab session, the instructor will collect report for the previous week's lab. Any late lab report will have its grade reduced by 20% per day. If, for any valid reason, you are not able to meet the deadline, let the instructor know well in advance of start of the lab.
You are responsible for keeping track of your e-mail. In case of difficulty with any specific lab or any other problem concerning the lab, please come and talk to the lab instructor or use e-mail.
The lab report should be brief and have the following sections:
Cover page: Name(s), section, and lab number.
Introduction: A small paragraph describing the intent of the lab. This should NOT be a rephrasing of the lab objective in the lab handout but a description from the student's own experience.
Results and Answers to Questions: This section should discuss the lab results (if any) and would answer the questions at the end of the lab handout (if any). Compare the simulations results with hand calculations and comment on any discrepancies.
Lessons learned: Share the lessons learned from the lab. This includes anything related to circuits, Cadence, etc. You are also encouraged to include any suggestions for improving the lab handout.
Attachments: All attachments must have a clear title and page number for cross referencing. Include only the results that support you discussion earlier in the report.
The lab reports must be typed and should be the student's original work. Do not copy and paste material from the lab handouts to your lab report. If you use any material by another author (a paper, a book etc.), give proper credit to the original author. Not only is this professional courtesy to do so but is required of you in order to avoid any appearances and occurrences of plagiarism.
