DESCRIPTION
This is a lab course to accompany CSCI
255. Our objective is to explore microcontroller electronics and
programming using a PIC24. This is a 'hands-on' lab; all
concepts will be introduced in an interactive environment. There
will be ample opportunity for self-guided exploration and
creativity.
Lecture: Students are expected to attend all lab meetings. Failure to do so will impact your class grade and will be considered a lack of interest in success on the part of the student. Students are responsible for completeing all work missed due to absense on their own.
LATE ASSIGNMENT POLICY
Late assignments will be accepted with a late penalty.
Up to ONE week past due date: | 10% off regular grade |
More than ONE week past due date: | NO CREDIT |
As per the catalog, students will be excused from the late penalty if they have documented emergencies or are representing UNCA on university-sanctioned travel. An equipment failure is not an excuse for turning in an assignment late.
