LABORATORY: (Instructor: J. Eng)
(i) Laboratory sessions will be held on Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 to 3:50 pm in D776.
A lab manual will be supplied to you via email in the first few days of the semester. A
deposit for a laboratory key and equipment will also be requested.
th
(ii) Week 1 of the laboratory course is Wednesday 10 of January. Lockers will be assigned
in this week and a laboratory outline will be provided.
Course Evaluation:
2 Midterm examinations (50 minutes duration)* = 2 x 15 %
Final Examination (2 hours duration)** = 30 %
Laboratory = 40 %
* Tentative dates for Midterms are:
th
(i) Wednesday 4 February.
th
(ii) Wednesday 11 March.
** The registrar will set the date of the final examination
Please Note: Normally failure to attend a Midterm exam will gain you a score of zero. In the case of
sickness, a medical certificate must be presented; the final exam will be pro-rated to reflect the missed
Midterm in this event.
