EECS Student Climate & Incident Reporting Form

  • Link to the Form
  • EECS Department Message: It is very important to the EECS Department that every student in the EECS community feels safe, respected and welcome. We recognize though that incidents happen, sometimes unintentionally, that run counter to that goal. There are many things we can do to try to improve department climate, but we need to understand where the challenges lie. If you experience a remark, or disrespectful treatment, or if you feel you are being ignored, excluded or marginalized in a course or department-related activity, please speak up. If you witness such treatment toward someone else, please also say something. If you notice course content (such as lectures, discussions, assignments, exams) that marginalize or alienate you, please point them out. This is particularly important if the offending actions/content are based on gender, race, age, disability, or other protected category but it’s not always possible to tell and so we encourage you to share with us in any case. The more we hear, the more we can do to improve the climate in our courses and department-supported activities. We also welcome suggestions on things we could do to improve department climate.

Past Exams

Past exams vary in scope from semester to semester, and may include topics that are not in scope for the current semester or module. Unavailable exams are indicated by N/A. In-scope topics for the current semester will be posted on Piazza about a week before the corresponding exam.
Exams with a gray background are from a time when circuits were taught differently. Exams with an orange background are multiple-choice format exams from pandemic semesters.
