I created a Ninova page for your section.
You can access it using your ITU student account and password.
* * * Each hour of a Zoom class requires
about 1 GB of internet!!! Be prepared…* * *
If you have any questions during lectures, use chat window and your
microphone.
You can find solved midterm exam problems of ELE/EHB 222E of the past MANY
years under https://ninova.itu.edu.tr/Sinif/3769.55609/DersDosyalari
All exams will be
open book AND you are required to report all resources that you used to solve
problems. Refrain from using chegg.com or any other online solving site. Any such activity will be severely
penalized.

Önemli Kurallar/Important Rules:
|
Sınavlarda hesapladığınız akım ve gerilimlerin
yönlerini çözüm kağıdı üzerinde belirtiniz. Kağıdınızı okuyan kişi sınav sırasında
aklınızdan geçen herşeyi kestirebilecek güçte olmadığı için, anlayamadığı hesaplara not veremez.
Hesap yaparken birim uyumuna dikkat ediniz ve sonuçları yazarken birimleri unutmayınız.
Please indicate all current directions and voltage polarities on your
solution sheets. No one can evaluate what went in your brain without any
hint! Thus you may not get any points for solutions
with missing steps in calculations.
Be aware of all the UNITS and do not mix them. Also
always indicate the units in your solution. You will be penalized for missing
units.

Textbooks:
|
Unfortunately Semiconductor
Electronics is not well covered in both of these books above. Thus
are recommended.
Have a look at online
library resources such as Knovel E-Kitap
and CRC ENGnetBASE.
