A bonus point opportunity

Students in ECE201-004 Spring 2015 have the opportunity to earn bonus points by creating exercises or lectures related to linear circuit analysis. These bonus points will not have a significant impact on your letter grade, but will help tilt the balance towards a higher grade if you are close to the threshold. Also, they will be the difference between an A and an A+. Keep in mind that quality is more important than quantity. The material must be original, created by you. Plagiarizing or simply copying lecture notes found on the internet will be considered cheating and will result in a significant lowering of your grade.
