Additional information for CAETE/NTU students
It is expected that students taking the course via videotape will run approximately one week behind the on-campus students. You should establish a regular schedule for watching the videotaped lectures. You should then mail your homework on or before the day when you would normally watch the videotaped lecture of the on-campus students turning in their homework.
You may mail or fax your homework, directly to Mariko Shirazi at the address/telephone number listed below. Do not send the homework to CAETE or NTU, and do not send your homework with the returned tapes -- it will get lost. It is a good idea to retain a copy of your homework.
Mailing address for homework:
Mariko Shirazi
Campus Box 425
ECE Department
University of Colorado
Boulder, CO 80309-0425
FAX number for homework:

Be sure that the fax cover page lists Mariko Shirazi as the recipient, and notes that the fax contains ECEN5817 homework.
