We welcome all visitors to our sessions. If you are a registered Stanford student, you may take this seminar series for university credit.

Requirements for Credit This 1 unit course is offered only on a Satisfactory/ No Credit basis.

To take the Seminar Series for University Credit you must

Register for the course (EE 402T in Axess). There are no prerequisites. Enrollment is open to graduates and undergraduates in any school or department at Stanford.

Participate in at least 9(nine) of the 10(ten) sessions. To fulfill this requirement, each student must:

1. Sign the attendance sheet at the auditorium for at least 8(eight) of the 10(ten) sessions. The attendance sheet is passed around the auditorium during the session. It is not available at any other time, and this task cannot be made up later or in any other way. This task is waived for SCPD students.

AND

2. Submit comments (30-60 words) each week for at least 9(nine) of the 10(ten) sessions. All students (regular and SCPD) fulfill this task by filling out the web-based form following each session. Comments must be submitted within two weeks of the session. Note that there is a shorter deadline for the comments on the last week, i.e., the scheduled exam time for the course.

Comments should indicate something that the student has learned from the session; they do not have to be a summary of the entire session. However, the comments must demonstrate that the student has attended the session or listened to the actual presentation/discussion on video. Comments that are obvious, e.g. just from a bullet point of a slide, will not be accepted.

Comment forms will appear at http://asia.stanford.edu/events/spring06/ee402t/submissionForm.html. The forms for a particular session will only be available for two weeks following the session.

Incompletes. Students must request an incomplete by email to the instructor by the last class session. Note that Stanford policy requires incompletes to be made up within one calendar year.

Note to SCPD Students. Same rules apply as regular students except that attendance can be counted by watching the session on-line through SCPD. SCPD students are still required to submit comments (Task 2) for 9 out of 10 sessions.
