Base Groups: You will be assigned to a base group consisting of 3-4 students. You will keep these base groups for the entire semester. Some of your work will be done within your base groups, including some homework assignments and the project. If you have problems with your base group that you cannot solve, it is your responsibility to initiate and coordinate with me to help you solve it. Personality clashes are NOT problems that I will address.
Quizzes: There will be 3 “closed notes” exams and an “open note” final. Make-ups will be given only for extenuating circumstances, and arrangements MUST be made in advance of the regularly scheduled quiz. Quiz dates may deviate from the schedule. It is your responsibility to know quiz dates.
Assignments: Homework assignments will be made regularly. Solutions will be provided and posted on the website.
Class Attendance: You are strongly encouraged to attend class. Some material will be presented that is not in the notes placed on the Web. You are responsible for this material. In addition, a significant amount of learning will occur in class; you will learn less efficiently if you attempt to cover the material without the in-class instruction.

Communication: Feel free to communicate with me in any way that is convenient to you (after class, during office hours, phone, e-mail), for questions about the course material or assignments. E-mail is an especially good way, but response time here is variable, typically ranging from a minute to about 24 hours, depending on the nature of your question and my schedule.
Software: We will be using the PSS/E power flow program in this class, and it is my intent that you will understand use of this program very well by the time you complete this course.
PSS/E power flow program is the most heavily used power flow program in the industry today.
