ECE 6550: Linear Systems and Control
Fall 2025 (GT Metz)

Course Grading Policy : Your grade will be determined as the average of three exams, MATLAB-based projects, a final project, and homework.

Exam Projects Homework
30% 60% 10%

Projects: We will have three projects, where the last project will be instead of a final exam.

Exams: We will have three exams in this course. The exams will be equally weighted. The exams will be closed book. You are allowed one sheet of handwritten notes, and the handwritten notes from the previous exams.

Homework: Each of the homework assigments are equally weighted. Homework will be graded in a near binary sense if the question has had a full and complete attempt at solving the problem. It is understood the first time working through problems might have some initial mistakes.

Grades will be assigned on a curve; however, I will guarantee the following grades if you reach the following percentages: 89% for an A, 79% for a B, 60% for a C, and 50% for a D. Rarely does the line for a C or D move as a result of a curve; the curve for an A and B vary significantly between classes.

Honor Code: Although you are encouraged to work together to learn the course material, all work is expected to be completed individually. There will be no collaboration for the homework. All conduct in this course will be governed by the Georgia Tech honor code.
