We welcome visitors to all 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 402S in Axess). There are no prerequisites.  Enrollment is open to undergraduates and graduates in any school or department at Stanford.

- Participate in at least 8 of the 9 sessions.  To fulfill this requirement, each student must:

1. Sign the attendance sheet at the auditorium for at least 7 of the 9 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 8 of the 9 sessions.  All students (regular and SCPD) fulfill this task by emailing the comments to the course assistant (Benjamin Peterson: benpete at stanford dot edu) following each session, with "[EE 402S] <Student ID Number>, <Date of the Session>" as the email subject. Comments must be submitted within two weeks of the session.  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.

NOTES:  Regular students are excused from Task 1 twice during the quarter and from Task 2 once during the quarter.  The last session of the quarter has a shorter-than-usual deadline for Task 2, namely the scheduled exam day/time as published in the Time Schedule. Students who are unable to complete Task 1 due to schedule conflict with another Stanford University class or other official University activity may contact Prof. Dasher to ask if make-up work can be done in lieu of the Task 1 requirement. Such an exception is only granted at the discretion of the instructor on a case-by-case basis.

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 8 out of 9 sessions.
