Lab/Tutorial Schedule Tutorials are common to both groups, and are held as scheduled in #2101 CEI. To pass the course, lab component should be passed as well (it is required to have at least %15 of lab marks to pass the course). Total lab mark is %30 of the final mark, of which %5 is assigned to pre-lab computations. Each lab has two deadlines; one before the lab (pre-lab) and another for final report upload. o Each lab has %3 mark of the total mark 0.5% for pre-lab submission 2.5% for final lab submission Each lab has two deadlines; a pre-lab, and a final lab design. Deadline for each will be posted on the CLEW accordingly and are given in the table below. Pre-lab computations should be uploaded to the CLEW before each lab. Deadlines are given in Table below. If a pre-lab submission is not uploaded, you will only get %1.5 for that lab, and no mark for the pre-lab. Pre-lab calculations are not required to be typed. Scanned images of your handwritten notes, converted to PDF are acceptable. However a typed handout is preferred. Handed work should be clean, and easy to read. If not, marks will be deducted for sections that are not legible. Lab question will be posted on the CLEW. Final report for the lab should also be uploaded in CLEW in PDF format. No hardcopies are accepted in any case. Typed report is required. A final report for a missed lab session is not accepted. The point of the lab is to test and verify your calculations and to practice theory.

For practical lab, class is divided into two sessions A and B- for schedule of each session A or B refer to Table below. o You have the option to set up your group members- group size is 2 to 3 people. o Please note that each student should submit their own individual lab report and prelab computations.

Last date to voluntarily drop (VW) from the course, using the Faculty of Engineering add/drop form.

Grading All course work will be marked and final grades submitted using the 100% scale. The following is the university-wide grade descriptor for undergraduate programs and will be printed on the back of the transcripts.

Assessment Considerations Late or missed assignments, reports, or projects o If a student is experiencing difficulty meeting a deadline, he/she is encouraged to contact the course instructor as soon as possible to discuss the situation in advance of the deadline. Late assignments are not accepted, as CLEW upload site will be closed by the deadline. Make-up Tests Test(s) which are missed for medical reasons should be accompanied by satisfactorily documented and submitted to the Office of Associate Dean o o In this case it is absolutely necessary to submit the documents immediately to the deans office, and contact me; midterms are re-taken a week after. If the medical reason is still going to prevent you from taking the midterm at the new date, it is required to have your doctor confirm that you need more than one week of rest, submitted with the original documents to the deans office. If for any other reason, you missed the re-test, it is required to bring another doctors note, and contact me to setup another date for the midterm test. Midterm weights do not under any circumstance will be transferred to final exam.

o o

Final Exam o If a student does not write the final exam, then she/he will be given zero for the final exam and a corresponding letter grade is calculated based on that. o Please note that in case of missing the final exam you have to contact me for details on exam coverage. Final exam coverage may extend from cover to cover. o Students who are unable to write a final examination(s) during the regularly scheduled time slot because of a conflict with religious conviction must apply to the Office of the Registrar to write an alternative examination(s). These students are required to apply for the alternative examination(s) in the course(s) involved by the end of the normal add/drop period for the session. o The Registrars Office will reschedule the alternative examination(s) for those students in another slot(s) within the regularly scheduled examination period. 5

Students who have requested alternative examinations will receive an amended examination schedule. Application Form for Alternative Final Exam Due to Conflict with Religious Convictions is available on the SIS. If a student is listed as a registered student but never appears in class, and has not attended labs, or written exams, then he/she will be assigned F- or NR (No Report). The computer will assign F- for the grade NR.

Calculators o Only University of Windsor approved calculators are allowed.

Other Electronic Devices Aside from Calculators Electronic devices aside from calculators are NOT permitted during tests/exams Any type of personal electronic devices (except permitted calculators) is strictly prohibited during lectures and any examination. Some of such devices are cell phone, digital camera, IPad and Tablet, laptop, IPod, IPod nano, any type of MP3 players, smart watch, or any other device with wireless connectivity. o Simply put if your device has wireless capability, or digital memory it is prohibited. Course instructor may ask to examine your watch, and belonging that you have with you during exam. It is recommended to leave electronic devices somewhere safe, and not bringing them into examination room. o Instructor is not responsible for loss of any belonging. If brought into the exam room, students must disable and leave them with other personal belongings, in front of the room prior to the examination. Simply turning the device OFF, and leaving it on the desk while writing the exam is not enough. This case is treated the same as finding the device ON. Failure to do so will result in the device being confiscated. It also will be considered as evidence of dishonesty, and considered against the student. This rule is strongly enforced, and considered an academic dishonesty. The case will directly be forwarded to Academic Integrity office for follow-ups. Course instructor may request the student to empty his/her pocket anytime during the examinations in order to examine its contents. Acceptable Use of Technology During Class The use of technology during lectures and tutorials is limited to resources associated with this course, such as lecture notes and property data information. Social media and general web surfing are never acceptable uses of technology during class; additionally, you distract the students around you. If a situation arises where you need to communicate by e-mail or cell phone, please respect your fellow students and leave the classroom to attend to the matter. You may return to class when the matter is resolved. The Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) The SET will be administered in the course during the last two weeks of the semester. Exams and fire alarms Pulling a fire alarm (e.g. during an exam) is a serious offence. The Criminal Code of Canada dictates that initiating a false alarm is a criminal offence. Such an offence could result in a criminal 6

record, a large fine, as well as disciplinary action under the University of Windsor Bylaw 31 where serious consequences would be likely (see Appendices for student misconduct). Note that this sort of offence will affect your eligibility for the Iron Ring; additionally, a criminal record may preclude you from becoming a registered professional engineer. If you are considering pulling a fire alarm as a way to avoid a test, you are advised instead to own up to your poor preparation, take the F on the test, and ask yourself whether you have the dedication to become an engineer. In the event that a fire alarm disrupts an exam session, the decision on how to proceed or not proceed with the exam will be made by the instructor. Therefore, if students are evacuated from the building due to a fire alarm they should wait outside and receive instructions from the instructor. If a fire alarm sounds during a test, the instructor reserves the right to either Continue the exam with a different set of exam with greater difficulty. Void the test and substitute a new test of greater difficulty during the next class period. In any case, extension of exam or its rescheduled time slot, are not negotiable.

General Class Expectations Attendance and punctuality Attendance in classes and labs is critical to student success; students should seize the opportunity to share and discuss information in labs, tutorials, and classes. The course is designed to move swiftly and efficiently. If a student is going to miss a lab, s/he should inform the instructor and GA before missing the class or lab. Communication Students are encouraged to utilize office hours to ask questions. Only emails sent from a uwindsor email address will be responded to. Emails should be sent with courtesy; they should include an informative subject line, a saluation (e.g., Hello Dr. Name), a body, and a closing (e.g., Best regards, Name). Group work Groups are encouraged to develop ground rules, identify roles and responsibilities, set timelines, and set standards of communication for the group. Student Conduct During Lectures Any excessive talking, noises or other inappropriate behaviour by students can disrupt the lecture and disadvantage those present. Thus, any student(s) engaging in disruptive behaviour, as deemed by the instructor, will be required to leave the lecture room and possibly withdraw from the course. Your co-operation in this matter will be appreciated.

Student Conduct in Tutorial/Lab Tutorials are conducted by a graduate student and are used to emphasize, and practice the concepts taught during the lecture. Students should behave properly and respectfully with the GAs. 7

Tutorial questions are usually chosen from the end of chapter problems of the text book. If a student wants a specific question to be solved in the tutorial, he/she should email in advance. Answers to the end of chapter problems will not be posted on the website under any circumstances. To get answers, there are two options: Attend the tutorial or use the office hour, in which case you need to show your previous attempts in solving the questions. o Solution manual is not going to be handed out in any case. Students cannot demand it from GAs or course instructor.

Examination Procedures Students should make sure to be at the examination location at least 10 minutes before the announced start time of exam. Seating arrangements are posted on the door of exam door. Prior to finding a seat for an examination, students should place all of their belonging not related to examination writing, at the front of the room. This includes book bags, heavy jackets, coats, purses, study notes, etc. At no time will any books, papers, notes, study aids, ect. is permitted in the examination. No electronic devices are allowed with the students as outlined above. Students may be required to bring into the examination room the following aids: Pen, and pencils Ruler and eraser Pencil sharpener The university prescribed calculators Students cannot borrow these items from other students during the exam. Students may be required to submit any of these items for inspection at any time. Eating, drinking or smoking is not allowed during an examination. Please leave food items at the front of the room. Student can only seat as indicated by the seating arrangements. Once the seat is found, the student must have their STUDENT ID card visible at all times. In order for the exam paper to be evaluated, student must show a valid STUDENT ID. Without this identification exam paper will not be evaluated. Any student who is more than 30 minutes late to an examination will not be allowed to write the exam. Answers should be written in the examination booklet provided. Do not write or bring in any additional papers or booklets. Students may only communicate with the instructor or invigilators during the examination. Doing so with anyone else will be considered cheating and appropriate action will be taken. Questions in regards to given exam questions and request for verification of answers are not going to be answered. If a student chooses to continue writing past the schedule time for the examination, he/she will be subject to grade penalties. If a student finished the exam prior to 30 minutes from the beginning of the exam, he/she will not be allowed to leave until that time. 8

It is required to place SURNAME and ID number on the back of the exam booklet. Do not write nicknames, name should be as it appears on the SIS. Graded paper will be made available for students review after grade posting. Details about when and where students can see their papers will be announced on CLEW. Exam should be written clear and legible. Failure to do so will result in deducted marks.

Academic Integrity All incidents of academic dishonesty will be documented with the Associate Dean of Engineering Academic. University procedures will be followed. Such incidents may include, but are not limited to: submission of assignments other than your own, receiving or sharing prior knowledge of test questions, sharing or receiving information during a test by any means (including electronic), possession of any electronic device (including cell phones) during a test except for an approved calculator, sharing or receiving knowledge of a test with students who have not yet written the test, sharing a calculator or formula sheet during the test, using a solutions manual to prepare submitted assignments. Supplemental Privileges A supplemental examination is NOT allowed in this course. Use of Turnitin Plagiarism-Detection Service in This Course Turnitin.com may be used in this course. Procedure: Turnitin May be used for some or all student papers in this course, as the case may be, at the instructors discretion. How will it be used? You may be asked to submit your paper to the instructor in electronic form who will then submit the paper to Turnitin if necessary Engineers Canada, Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) Criteria
