Please note, all quizzes and tests will be given a 0 if not completed by their due dates. All
tests will be delivered in Room T208 on the dates specified. Online Quizzes may be
completed at home and are due by 11:55 pm on the day specified. In addition, all tests are
based both on the textbook and lab book. An incomplete lab sign off sheet will result in a
25% hit on the corresponding test mark. (See lab testing policy below)
Each Test is worth 21.25%, each quiz worth 1.25% for a total of 90 percent. The
remaining 10% is made up of your circuits and labview sign off sheets ALL LABS MUST
BE COMPLETED AND LAB SHEET HANDED IN BY DUE DATE.

Lab and Testing Policy – F2010
All tests are scheduled. There will be NO writing outside of these scheduled times. All
students should arrive prior to the start time of the test. Absolutely NO tests will be handed out
after the first student has completed the test. During the scheduled testing times, the lab will be
closed to all students not scheduled to write during that time
 All Lab assignments and CLR Tests must be completed and by their due date
 All labs must be physically demonstrated and explained in order to be signed off
 Lab assignments for a CLR are to be signed off before attempting the CLR test.
 CLR tests and quizzes must be attempted on the assigned date.
 The CLR test will be given a penalty of 25 marks if the lab assignments are not signed off
before CLR test. (i.e the test will be calculated out of 100 percent, then 25 marks will
be deducted)
 An incomplete Lab Sign Off Sheet will receive a grade of 0.
 All work must be genuine (no ‘sharing’ or copying of files or programs will be tolerated)
 Copied work or work clearly not written by the student submitted as a lab will result in a
0 for the entire Lab Sign off Sheet or Assignment and may result in a submission under
the Student Misconduct Directive
 No headphones in the lab
 No open toed shoes in the lab at any time, you will be asked to leave
 During testing, communication with other students of any kind or a ringing cellphone will
result in an automatic 0
 No writing on the desks or defacing equipment in any way
 Computers are to be used for course material, no gaming, comics, facebook, chatting
allowed. You WILL be asked to leave the lab if you are found engaging in such activity
No extensions will be permitted except for valid medical reasons approved by the Program
Coordinator.
The last week of scheduled classes commences December 6th – 10th . All final projects, labs
etc. must be handed in by their due dates or will be considered a 0 for marking purposes.
