Grading

During the first few weeks assignments will be given out weekly to facilitate learning C programming for the DSP system. Mini projects may also be assigned periodically during the initial weeks. Grades will be determined based on completion of the assignments, mini projects, and the end of semester design project.

Blackboard Access

This semester I will use the Blackboard system to post assignments and solutions, as well as grades. Please register with Blackboard and create your Blackboard profile as soon as possible by following the instructions on the Blackboard Webpage Blackboard Website.

Projects

  • Project requirements:
    • Projects should be done in groups of 2-3.
    • Each project must perform some signal processing task in real-time using either the fixed or floating point DSP board. Common examples are adaptive, video or audio signal processing.
    • Project code should be optimized so that algorithms run efficiently on the DSP board.
    • The final demonstration of your project should clearly show the desired effect of your algorithm.
  • Reporting requirements: a final report and a class presentation.
    • Project guidelines will be posted on Blackboard

Statement for Students with Disabilities

Any student requesting academic accommodations based on a disability is required to register with Disability Services and Programs (DSP) each semester. A letter of verification for approved accommodations can be obtained from DSP. Please be sure the letter is delivered to me (or to TA) as early in the semester as possible. DSP is located in STU 301 and is open 8:30 a.m.--5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The phone number for DSP is (213) 740-0776.


Statement on Academic Integrity

USC seeks to maintain an optimal learning environment. General principles of academic honesty include the concept of respect for the intellectual property of others, the expectation that individual work will be submitted unless otherwise allowed by an instructor, and the obligations both to protect oneís own academic work from misuse by others as well as to avoid using anotherís work as oneís own. All students are expected to understand and abide by these principles. Scampus, the Student Guidebook, contains the Student Conduct Code in Section 11.00, while the recommended sanctions are located in Appendix A http://www.usc.edu/dept/publications/SCAMPUS/gov/

Students will be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards for further review, should there be any suspicion of academic dishonesty. The Review process can be found at http://www.usc.edu/student-affairs/SJACS/.
