Lectures and classes 30 hours

WE-109
Wednesday, 12.15 – 13.00
Wednesday, 13.15 – 14.00
We will not divide our time into lectures and classes very formally.
We will illustrate theoretical issues with practical ones
(calculations, mini-projects).

If you want to finish lectures and classes earlier

(December 22 or December 15)
we can meet 4 or 5 times on Tuesday
17.40 - 19.15

Laboratory reports

 each lab group should prepare its own report;

 reports should be sent by email
in the email subject field: Electronics1 – group – labN°
for example:
Electronics1 – B2 – lab5

PDF only!
 each report should be sent before the next lab (–0,2p if later)

Electronics 1 7

Laboratory report requirements

 Title page (Bialystok University of Technology, Faculty of
Electrical Engineering, IS-FEE-10006W Electronics 1, title of lab
experiment, students, teacher, date);
 Objectives;
 Circuit schematic diagrams;
 Results (tables, photos, figures);
 Calculations (if necessary);
 Conclusions;
 Maximum 8 pages (A4).

Remember:
- figures and tables should be numbered and titled;
- label your graphs properly indicating the axis scale, variables and
units of measure, etc.);
- attach the copy (photo) of the sheets with measurement results.

Dear teacher, Dear Teacher,

(…) I think that your border I'm (…). I want to ask you
of points are so high (…) about my mark. In my
C is equal to 60-70 in university ( …) marks are
Turkey but there, C is given very different. So C is equal
between 70-80 and B is very to BC - 2.7 and B is equal
high. to BA - 3.3. I need just 2
Maybe you can lower points to get B. (…) could
the border of points (…) you help me (...).
I am waiting your reply I attached my university
mark system.
sincerely,

Do not negotiate, please!
