Scheme A - with midterm testLaboratory 15 On the lab, you must obtain a passing gradeLab exam 5 out of 20!Tutorial workshops 10Midterm test 20 Saturday October 20, 2018Final Examination 50Total 100
Scheme B – no midterm testLaboratory 15 On the lab, you must obtain a passing gradeLab exam 5 out of 20!Tutorial workshops 10Midterm test 0Final Examination 70Total 100
There is no make-up midterm test. If you are absent for the mid-term test then your grade will be calculated using scheme B.
TutorialsWeekly tutorials, 1 hour and 50 minutes.
• Prepare by doing the Homework Problems for the week• First hour:
• the Teaching Assistant (TA) will answer your questions about how to solve the homework problems.
• Remaining 50 minutes:• The TA will give you a page with 2 or 3 problems to solve in the
tutorial.• Work on the problems. You can ask the TA for help. You can work
in a group with your friends. • Hand in your work at the end of the tutorial. No late submission is
permitted.• The TA will grade your work and hand it back to you in the next
tutorial. • Each tutorial problem is worth 1 mark, for a maximum of 10 marks
over the course. I will use your best 10 out of 12 tutorial grades.
The Mid-Term Exam
• Saturday October 20, 2018 in the afternoon.• Both sections write the same mid-term exam. • The mid-term counts for 20% of the course grade.• There is no make-up test!
However:• If you do better in the final exam than in the mid-term exam, I will
discard the mid-term grade and count the final for 70%.
The Lab Schedule: Labs start next week for RI and RK
Some Rules for the LabsLab Information: Lab manual, lab schedulehttp://users.encs.concordia.ca/~pbipin/Lab Coordinator: Bipin [email protected]
Lab room number: H822
• Students must attend the lab section that they are registered for. • Students will be required to do a pre-lab quiz before starting the experiment. You need to be prepared for the
experiment.• Experiments will be conducted in groups of two, but each student must individually prepare and submit his/her
own lab report.• Students must obtain the lab demonstrator’s signature on all data sheets and printouts.• The lab report for an experiment is due at the start of next lab.• There is a Lab Exam at the end of the semester.• All experiments and the lab exam are mandatory.
Don’t miss labs!
If you miss a lab or foresee missing a lab because of an extreme emergency, contact the lab coordinator immediately to make alternative arrangements. Lab coordinator may ask for proof of emergency.
How to be Successful as a University Student • Time management:
• The key to success is to work steadily throughout the semester day by day and week by week.• Set up a study schedule with time slots for study activities in each of your courses each week.• You will be prepared for tests and exams and you won’t have to CRAM.• You will be CONFIDENT.
• Study efficiently!• Time is precious so you must make good use of your study time.• Attend the class. The prof goes through all the “theory” and solves sample problems.• Writing notes in class helps you to remember the lecture material.• Do the homework problems before the tutorial, then attend the tutorial. • Hand in the tutorial problem: each tutorial is worth 1 mark for a maximum of 10 marks.• Labs: read the lab manual carefully and do the lab preparation exercises.• Labs are fun! Enjoy the experiments.
• Engineering is “Learn by Doing”:• Do the homework problems each week: this is where the real learning takes place.• Once you figure out how to solve a problem yourself you will remember it forever and be able to do it on the test
or exam. • You will build up a “toolbox” of methods for solving problems throughout your career as a student.
Expectations of OriginalityPurpose: To reduce the number of students accused of plagiarism under the Academic Code of Conduct.
How it works:The form reminds you of your obligation to do your own original work, and not copy work from other students, from the internet, or from the literature.
Labs: Submit one copy of the form at the beginning of term.
On each lab report, write: I certify that this submission is my original work and meets the Faculty’s Expectations of Originality. Sign the statement.

The Big Picture• Accreditation:
• Engineers Canada: affiliation of the provincial licencing boards such as the Ordre des Ingenieurs du Quebec and the Professional Engineers of Ontario.
• Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board• Accreditation of B.Eng programs every six years• Last year was an “accreditation year” and we were given six years of
accreditation for all the engineering programs.
• Graduate Attributes: • What at are we trying to teach you?• Each course teaches one or more of the Graduate Attributes.• Individual students are not assessed and there is no individual “grade”.• Instead the class as a whole is assessed for accreditation purposes.
