3)	the use of the Smith Chart to solve impedance transformation and impedance matching problems; and
4)	the ability to perform literature survey in modern RF, microwave and radar related topics, and write technical reports based on the analysis, design and simulation of electromagnetic fields in free-space as well as in microwave guiding structures.

\newcommand\gradingPolicy{Homework 						               10 \%  \\
Practicum \& computer projects		               17 \%  \\

No make-up test will be given for any reason. Instead, the percentage of the grade associated with each test missed will be added to the final examination percentage. No credit for late assignments will be allowed. \\

The final letter grades will be determined based on curving of cumulative average of Homework, Practicums, Research presentation, 2 Tests and the Final Exam, with the class average set as C or C+.
}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{1) Practicum: 
Practicum sessions will include computer projects and student project presentations. Some of the practicum sessions may be allocated to problem-solving sessions and/or exams. \\

2) Homework: 
No credit will be given for late weekly homework assignments for any reason. It is extremely important that the homework problems be worked regularly - not only for the sake of the grade, but also to ensure sufficient facility in problem 	solving so that you can perform well within the constraints of an hour's test or final exam. \\

3) Miscellaneous (please read this carefully!)
Please note that group study for working out solutions to homework problems and computer projects is acceptable, and helpful to many students. However, the homework or project report you turn in should be written out on your own, and not copied verbatim from another student's work or from the material found Online. It should reflect your understanding of the material. Homework problems or practicum reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. All work on an exam is to be entirely on your own.

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then ypu should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).)}}
