Electrical Engineering & Computer Science


EECS 361 - Signals and System Analysis


Comprehensive Final Exam: Monday, May 11, 2026, 7:30am-10:00am

 


Online Student Survey of Teaching is now available for you to complete.

You should have received an email which contains information on how to get to the survey.

On Tuesday May 5th you will be given time towards the end of class to complete the Student Survey of Teaching for this class.

Bring a smartphone, laptop, or tablet with you on Tuesday May 5th so that you can complete that survey in class. If you have already completed the survey, you will get out of class a few minutes early.

The student survey of teaching is an important part of improving teaching at KU. Participation is voluntary, but your thoughtful responses do help me improve my courses. Over the years student comments have led to improvements in my teaching. Administrators also use survey results as a source of information in personnel processes like instructor teaching assignments, annual performance evaluation, and promotion and tenure. Instructors will have access to survey results ONLY after final grades have been submitted, and your name will not be included in those results.

The EECS department hopes you will complete the Online Student Survey for all your classes.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

The department, school and university have very strict guidelines regarding academic misconduct. Obviously, copying is not allowed on exams. Students are expected to submit their own work on individual homework and projects. Lending or borrowing all or part of a simulation model or program from another student is not allowed. Students ARE allowed to borrow and modify any code on this class web site in their projects. Instances of cheating will result in a referral to the department chairman and the dean of engineering.
All sources in your written work (project reports) must be properly referenced; if you use a source from the literature or the idea of another for your work you must reference it. If you quote or copy a block of text, it must be cited and included in quotation marks (if a sentence or less in length) or in block quote style (if more than a sentence in length). If you paraphrase text (reword a phrase, sentence, or paragraph), you must also quote or blockquote followed by “[paraphrased]” in addition to proper citation. Figures taken from other sources must be referenced.

The USC academic integrity quiz is also useful reading. If you have any doubt, talk to me – inexperience in past writing or coming from an environment where plagiarism was permitted will not be an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.

I recommend that you take intermediate notes from which you write your own words. I strongly recommend that you not write in one window while displaying the work of others in another window; this is asking for trouble. “Unintentional” paraphrasing is also not an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.
