| Instructor: | Erik Cheever, Hicks 305, x8076 Please feel free to drop by anytime for help. If you have trouble finding me, please send email. My Schedule |
| Class time & place: | MWF 11:30-12:20; Hicks 211 |
| Lab time & place: | Self-scheduled |
| Text: | Digital Signal Processing; Principles, Algorithms and Applications, Proakis and Manolakis |
| Homework: | I encourage you to work together on homework, but don't blindly copy another students work. You should fully understand all solutions to homework before submitting them. |
| Labs: | I expect
labs to be done as a group. Each group will submit a single report
(with all members of the group listed).
Groups should work independently of one another - you may discuss particular issues, but do not share data or reports. |
| Projects: | Projects may be either individual, or as a group. |
| Exams: | Exams are to be solely your own work. The format of exams will vary, but it is never permissible to seek help from another individual. |

If you believe that you need accommodations for a disability, please contact Leslie Hempling in the Office of Student Disability Services (Parrish 130) or e-mail lhempli1@swarthmore.edu to set up an appointment to discuss your needs. Leslie Hempling is responsible for reviewing and approving disability-related accommodation requests. As appropriate, she will issue students with documented disabilities an Accommodation Authorization Letter. Since accommodations require early planning and are not retroactive, please contact her as soon as possible. For details about the Student Disabilities Service and the accomodations process, visit http://www.swarthmore.edu/x7687.xml.
