	Lowest homework score will be dropped when computing final scores.
	Graded homework returned in lab sections.
	Put lab section # at top of each HW solution.

Quizzes
	Recent material from lab or class; 10 minutes at start of lab.
	Announced in advance: be on time!
	Closed book / notes; no cheat sheet.

Exams will cover all aspects of the course: lectures, homework, book, and labs.

Midterms (with tentative room assignments)
	October 3rd (6-7:30PM):
		CHRYS 220               234 (Section 1)
        	EECS 1200       Holds:  107 (Section 2, A-L)
		EECS 1500               130 (Section 2, M-Z)

	November 7th (6-7:30PM):
        	CHRYS 220               234 (Section 1)
        	EECS 1200               107 (Section 2, A-L)
        	EECS 1500               130 (Section 2, M-Z)
Students with conflicts for these midterm times must make alternate
arrangements with Prof. Hero before Sep. 27.

Final (will be cumulative though emphasizing latter part of course):
	12/16/02 from 4-6pm (the time listed for the 001 section).

All students in 206 are expected to take the final exam during that time.
Only those students from sec 002 with legitimate conflicts (more than 2 exams
on that day or less than 1.5 hours between exams) will be eligible for
alternative arrangements.  Such alternative arrangements need to be made
with Prof. Fessler *before* the end of September.


Lectures
	Section 1, 10:30-11:30	1504 GGB, Hero
	Section 2,  2:30-3:30	1500 EECS, Fessler
	Students may attend either lecture section, space permitting.

Office hours
	See web site:  http://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs206/
	All 206 students may visit either professor's office hours.

GSI (GSI office hours held in 4338 EECS)
	Chih-fan Hsin	chsin@umich.edu
	Dongsook Kim	kimds@umich.edu
	Wen-chiao Lin	wenchiao@umich.edu
	Fred Zeitz	fzeitz@engin.umich.edu

Books for EECS 206 on reserve at UMMU:

	Alan V Oppenheim  Alan S Willsky  S Hamid Nawab
	Signals and systems, Prentice-Hall 1997

	Alan V Oppenheim  Ronald W. Schafer
	Discrete-time signal processing, Prentice-Hall, 1989

	J H McClellan  R W Schafer  M A Yoder
	DSP first, a multimedia approach, Prentice-Hall, 1998

	And numerous Matlab manuals / books!

Lab (2331 EECS)
	Important part of course: hands-on experience with real signals.
	Each GSI will introduce the lab assignments and Matlab commands.
	Work in groups of two, submitting single lab report (for same score).
	Turn in lab reports at next lab's start.  Late lab reports unacceptable.
	There will be 9 lab reports.  Other weeks will be exam review.
	Reserved for 206 during lab sessions, otherwise CAEN lab.
	Attendance in lab is not mandatory, but is highly recommended!

Collaboration
	All homework assignments are to be completed on your own. You may
	consult with other students (and GSI's) during the conceptualization of
	a solution, but all written work, whether in scrap or final form, must
	be generated by you working alone.  Violation of this policy will be
	treated as an honor code violation.
	If you have questions about this policy, please do not hesitate to
	contact the instructors.
	The same policy applies to laboratory assignments, except of course
	that lab partners in a team are permitted to work jointly.
