Approved programmable or approved non-programmable calculators are permitted. You are strongly advised to make sure that your calculator is capable of complex arithmetic. You are provided with a formula sheet in exams and exams will be written and marked so as to minimise the advantage of a programmable calculator over a non-programmable calculator.
Mark Scheme

10% Assignments There are 10 assignments worth 1% each

25% Labs There are 5 labs worth 5% each. Attendance at all labs is compulsory. Failure to attend a lab or submit a lab report will result in a failing grade for the whole course .

20% Midterm Exam The Midterm is on Tuesday February 23rd at 11.00 am in ETLC E2-001 There will be no deferred midterms offered in this course. An excused absence will result in weight being added to the final.

45% Final Exam The Final is on Friday April 23rd at 9.00 am

Grading

The course will be graded using the Faculty of Engineering guidelines for a 400 level course. Grades are awarded based on relative performance for total marks in the course. 432 requires you to work as groups. Lab reports are group reports and all members of the group are expected to contribute. Assignments are individual assignments, but peer discussion of the best approach to solve problems is encouraged. Strictly speaking, the above rules mean that all assignments handed in with only one persons name on should be done individually, without any discussion with your peers. However, it is often the case that discussion of ideas with others leads to an improved understanding of a subject. I feel that discussion of problems and alternative solution approaches can be an integral part of the learning process. Since my aim as an instructor is for you to learn the material in the course, students who collaborate on assignments will not be considered guilty of plagiarism or cheating. The level of collaboration is up to the students involved, but you are strongly encouraged to attempt questions individually before discussing them with others. You should remember that a good understanding of the principles behind assignment problems is essential to a good exam mark.
