Laboratory Guide

October 20, 2020

This document contains the instructions related to EED1005 Introduction to Programming

course for 2020-2021 Fall semester of Electrical and Electronics Engineering curricula.

1 Online Learning Management Platforms

1. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this laboratory is going to be conducted online.

2. onlineDEU(https://online.deu.edu.tr) is going to be the primary online learning management

platform to be used throughout the course of the laboratory.

3. It is in the students’ responsibility to check the status of their accounts on onlineDEU.

4. The students taking the course will be automatically enrolled to the EED1005 Introduction
to Programming course page on onlineDEU.

5. MOODLE(https://eee.deu.edu.tr) platform is also going to be used occasionally.

6. The students taking the course will also be automatically enrolled to the course page on
MOODLE.

7. It is in students’ responsibility to follow the contents, instructions, announcements, etc, on

both of the platforms.

2 Laboratory Sheets
1. The laboratory sheets are going to be available on the course webpage before the laboratory
sessions.

2. The laboratory sheets consists of two parts: preliminary work and laboratory work.

3. The preliminary work part includes the preliminary studies corresponding to the objective of
the experiment.

4. The laboratory work part includes the procedure to be performed in the experiment.

1
3 Experiments
1. The experiments focus on practicing the theoretical content covered in the lectures of the
course.

2. There will be 10 experiments and 1 quiz in the laboratory.

3. The last session of the laboratory is devoted to the quiz.

4. In the quiz, there will be questions related to the content covered in the laboratory.

4 Reports
1. Before a laboratory session, each student must write a preliminary report corresponding to
that laboratory session.

2. The preliminary report must include the answers of the questions in the preliminary work
part of the laboratory sheet.

3. The preliminary reports must be in pdf format.

4. The preliminary report must be uploaded to both of the online learning management plat-
forms(onlineDEU and MOODLE) of the course.

5. After the laboratory session, each student must write a final report.

6. The final report must include

• the sources codes written for the experiment,

• the comment lines explaining the tasks of the corresponding source code line.
• the screen shots illustrating the outputs of the working programs.

7. The final report must be in pdf format and must adhere to the rules of the technical report
layout and paging rules.

8. Each student must upload the final report to both of the online platforms of the course.

9. The reports (both preliminary or final) that are not uploaded on time to the online platforms
will not be accepted via any other means. Hence, pay attention to the deadlines of the reports.

10. Copying or stealing the work of another individual and/or group is strictly forbidden, and
will not be tolerated.

11. The reports or works that are detected to be stolen or copied are not going to be evaluated.

5 Laboratory Sessions
1. The students are going to work individually during the laboratory session.
2. The laboratory assistant is going to be online during the laboratory session to explain the
experiment and answer the questions.
3. Although the attendance to the laboratory session is not mandatory, the attendance is going
to affect your overall performance notes in the laboratory. So pay attention to be online
during the laboratory sessions.

6 IDEs
1. There are a plenty of IDEs that can be used in the laboratory.
2. Some of these IDEs are listed in the course webpages.
3. All of these IDEs are open source simulator, so the students are encouraged to download and
install the ones they prefer on their personal computers.
4. All the information (tutorials, installation instructions, documentation, etc.) about QUCS
can be found at its official websites of the IDEs.
5. The first session of the laboratory is devoted the introduction of IDEs. In this session, a video
tutorial that explains how to install and use some of the IDEs is going to be presented by the
laboratory assistant. Since there will not be any other tutorials about the IDEs, the students
are recommended not to miss this video tutorial session.

7 Grading
1. The grading policy to be applied to evaluate each laboratory session is given in Table 1
2. Note that the grade of each laboratory session consists of partial grading of preliminary report,
attendance and final report.
3. The partial grading of each sections of the final report are also shown in Table 1.
4. Table 2 shows the grading policy to applied to evaluate the overall grade of the laboratory.
5. Note that overall grade of the laboratory consists of average grade of the experiments and
the quiz.

8 Schedule
1. The weekly schedule of the laboratory is given in the Table 3
2. The student will be notified beforehand in case of any changes in the information given in
Table 3 changes
