Course Objective

The objective of the course is to introduce basic circuit theory by presenting basic circuit elements, circuit modelling and analysis techniques. In this respect, current and voltage law's of Kirchoff, Telegen's theorem, Thevenin ve Norton theorems is presented together with network theorems and graph theoretic approaches. Node voltage, Mesh Current, Loop Voltage and Cutset Current Methods will be inspected in detail. Two port circuit analysis will follow. Analysis techniques introduced will be applied to analysis of 2-port circuits. Analysis of circuits containing an active gain block and operational amplifiers will be studied.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

The midterm examinations can be held in several sessions, some of which can be held online in form of tests. The overall weight of the sessions will be announced before the examinations.

Assessment Criteria

This course has a minimal over all grade of 40/100 to be eligible for getting a letter grade.
The students whose overall grade at the end of the finals is less than 40 is automatically rewarded with FF.
However, this does not mean that the students who have overall grade greater than 40 will pass the lecture.
Depending on the over all statistics, one can still get FF or FD and fail.
The letter grades are rewarded according to the statistical nature of the grade distribution and the over all engagement of the students to the lecture discussions.
