ECE 101
Exploring Digital Information Technology
About the Lectures
Lectures will meet at 9am in room 260 Everitt Laboratory (Discovery Section) and at 11am in room 119 Materials Science and Engineering Building (MSEB). Attendance will be checked regularly through the use of feedback forms. Good attendance and class participation will be taken into account on borderline grades.
I will post lecture material and other notes here whenever possible. All course material is tested with Windows XP and Internet Explorer... please email to report problems.
