Course Outline
This course will provide students with hands-on experience to the acquisition, processing, compression and communications of voice, image, and video, as well as multimedia document creation. The course will consist of weekly 75 minutes lecture and 225 minutes experiments. The lecture will introduce or review the theoretical concepts associated with the experiments. Most of the lecture material is accessible from the Internet. You must review the lecture material before coming to the lab. A lab report is due after each experiment.
Grading Policy:
There will be a quiz before each lab, with one question relating to what you learnt in the last experiment, and another question relating to what was discussed in the on-line lecture and the lab manual for the new experiment. There will be a final exam in the final week examining your understanding of both theoretical and experimental topics covered in the class. The final grade will depend on your quiz, lab attendance, in lab-performance, lab-report and the final exam. Each experiment has a full-grade of 10 points. Attending the lab in-time and making a good effort in completing the experiment will give you 4 points. The remaining 6 points depends on the submitted report. Any reports turned in late will be considered received before next lab. Every week that the report is late will cause 2 points off. The final grade = 60% lab + 20% quiz + 20% exam.
