Evaluation and Grading Scheme

• Evaluation:– 3 assignments and 6 labs.– Lab attendance is mandatory.– Mid Term.– A 3 hours final exam at the end of the course.

• Grading Scheme– To pass the course, a student must pass the final examination (D-

or better). For students who pass the final exam, the grade will be calculated as follows: • Assignments: 15%• Mid-term: 25%• Final exam: 60%

Assignments

• don’t “write off” an assignment just because of its relatively low weight in the overall grading scheme.– your work during assignments will probably give you a

good idea of the exams• you are encouraged to ask the TA or instructor for help,

feedback, and suggestions, but you are expected to present your work clearly when you ask for assistance– don’t expect the TA to give you the answer!

Students with Disabilities

“Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations are encouraged to contact a coordinator at the Paul Menton Centre (Room 500 Unicentre, 520-6608 or TTY 520-3937) to complete the necessary letters of accommodation. Then, make an appointment to discuss your needs with your instructor at least two weeks prior to the first in-class test. This is to ensure sufficient time to make the necessary accommodation arrangements.”
