Slectures

Post a link to your slecture page below the relevant topic. If you want to reserve a particular topic, write your name/nickname below the topic. To build your slecture page, you should use the following templates.

• Template for text slecture
• Template for video slecture
• Template for question page (use the same template for both video and text slectures).

Suggested topics (lectures):

• Ohm, power, and sign conventions
• KVL, KCL, current and voltage division
• Nodal Analysis
• Mesh/Loop Analysis
• Superposition and Linearity
• Thevenin and Norton
• Inductors
• Capacitors
• First order circuits: step response
• Response classification
• Second order circuits (source free)
• Second order circuits (constant input)
• Operational Amplifier
• First order circuits with op-amps
• Phasors
• SSS analysis
• Frequency response (filters)
• Complex power
• Power factor improvement and maximum power transfer

Suggested topics (supplemental):

• The physics behind linear circuits
• Complex number review
• Parallelism between SSS and resistive networks
• Applications in the real world

Slecture Review

Guidelines

• You must review one slecture per topic. (You cannot review your own slecture, of course. So if you are the only person who completed a slecture on a given topic, then you are not required to write a review for that topic. )
• The maximum number of reviews for each slecture is written next to each slecture. First come first serve. You will notice that some slectures will not get any reviews. This is because the slecture was either not completed or did not include a question page.
• Write your review directly on the question page of the slecture you are reviewing. Let me know if you want an anonymous login.
• You can reserve a spot for a specific slecture by writing your name on the question space.
• Be nice! Be constructive! The authors worked really hard on this.

A bonus point opportunity

Students in ECE438 Fall 2014 have the opportunity to earn up to a XXX% bonus by contributing a Rhea page on a subject related to linear circuit analysis. To pick a subject, simply write your name next to it. Your page will be graded based on content as well as interactions with other people (page views, comments/questions on the page, etc.). The number of links to other courses and subjects will also be taken into account: the more the merrier! Please do not simply copy the lecture notes and do not plagiarize.
