If you have any questions or comments which are not treated in the existing threads, then you may initiate them here. If they appear to be of common interest leading to more contributions, then I will start a separate thread on them. So, you as an EE175 student, feel free to take advantage of this venue!

Access to old Midterms

In class and by email I got feedback when students claim that they do not get web-access to some of my older EE175 course. I clicked through several ones and found that I got access to at least 7 previous semesters' courses.
I used the Mozilla browser in my office PC.
The general method is as follows:

Go first to my main ustrasil web: http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/ustrasil/
Click a semester, for example: Fall2005.
Click: EE175 Filter Design or similar.
Click: Web Project Assignment by subject (or chapter).
Then find either Midterm 1 or Midterm 2. Because I normally breakup the midterms, and have students generate a clean problem statements and solutions, MT1 and/or MT2 are normally broken up by Problem 1, Problem 2 etc.

The problem might be that students use other browsers which may be not compatible. In that case you should try different browsers.

The following semesters worked for me: Fall2005, Spring2005, Fall2004, Spring2004, Spring 2003, Fall2002. Further back nothing works, until Spring 2000. Spring 2000 has an interesting way of presenting the information, using a "multimedia lecture format". This is accessible on: http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/filter/

To start the discussion I transferred a couple of email comments to the comment portion. Students are welcomed to add comments, to state what works, what doesn't in order to help eachother.

Start of EE175 Filter Blog

Prof. Strasilla is teaching the EE175 Filter Design Course at San Jose State University. This course (past and present) may be accessed on his website: http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/ustrasil/ . A direct link to the Spring 2006 semester course is shown on the bottom.

While above filter-course website has a wealth of information about the course, including contributions by the students, it is a one-way communication from the web to the students. If students have questions, then they only can email those to the instructor. It would be beneficial to make many of the questions and the instructor's response available to the whole class. This blog should serve as vehicle for this. When a certain question or comment arises, students and instructor may respond under that question heading, and other students are encouraged to participate and to contribute. If there is a hot topic, then the instructor might refer to this blog in his class. Otherwise, the instructor will try to monitor this blog on a weekly basis during the semester. I hope, that this blog will contribute to the teaching/learning experience.
