Time Table as of 8th February 2008
There are two hour lectures in this course. Seven lectures covering electromechanics (A1-A6) will be given by Dr Saha. Six lectures covering electronics (B1-B6) will be given by Dr Dong.
There are ten two hour tutorials, five for each half of the course.
One tutorial session will be used for a mid semester exam.
There are six two hour laboratory practicals, three on electromechanics (Pracs A1-A3) and three on electronics (Pracs B1-B3). There are four lab sessions allocated for each practical over the two weeks to run. These are labelled P1-P4 on SI-net. P1 and P2 occur on Tue and Thurs of weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, and P3 and P4 occur on Tue and Thurs of weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. Depending on class size and resource availability (lab size, lab equipment), we only plan to use sessions P2, P3 and P4, but will use session P1 if the number of students requires us to do so.

Submission of the assignment and tutorial by the due date and time will be via the submission boxes on level one of the GPSouth building. Your assignment submission must be accompanied by a signed coversheet declaring that the submission is your original work.
Late tutorial or assignment submissions will receive zero marks towards your final grade. Personal hardware or computer failures are not grounds for extension. Only in special circumstances (with a medical certificate from a GP or similar official evidence) will tutorial submissions be accepted after the due time. You must ask your lecturer for an extension. Late submissions will be only accepted by the lecturer directly.
Late tutorial or assignment submissions will be marked by tutors for the purposes of feedback only, but only if they are submitted within a resonable time after the due date. Otherwise, your work may not be marked at all.
Tutorial submission Policy:
Tutorial sheets will be handed out in advance of the tutorial classes. At the beginning of each
tutorial session, directions will be given concerning submission of worked problems for marking.
Five tutorial will be marked for this part of the assessment.
Students will be required to submit the tutorial problems designated as required for assessment by
10 am of the following Monday at the box located in GP South level 1. No tutorial submission will
be accepted after this time. Only in special circumstances (approved medical reasons) will tutorial
submissions be accepted within a very short period of time after this specified time.
Students must prepare for the laboratory experiments. Some questions and/or quiz may be given to check if the students have prepared for the practical experiments.
Marks will be given based on following:-
1. Attendance
2. Performance during the practical session
3. A laboratory workbook including recorded results and discussion
An overview of the University’s assessment-related policies can be found on myAdvisor (http://www.uq.edu.au/myadvisor/index.html?page=2910).
Academic Integrity
It is the University's task to encourage ethical scholarship and to inform students and staff about the institutional standards of academic behaviour expected of them in learning, teaching and research. Students have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their work. Students must not cheat in examinations or other forms of assessment and must ensure they do not plagiarise.
Plagiarism
The University has adopted the following definition of plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting as one's own original work the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another. These include published and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes and ideas gained through working in a group. These ideas, interpretations, words or works may be found in print and/or electronic media.
Students are encouraged to read the UQ Academic Integrity and Plagiarism policy (http://www.uq.edu.au/hupp/index.html?page=25128) which makes a comprehensive statement about the University's approach to plagiarism, including the approved use of plagiarism detection software, the consequences of plagiarism and the principles associated with preventing plagiarism.
As a student you have a responsibility to incorporate feedback into your learning; make use of the assessment criteria that you are given; be aware of the rules, policies and other documents related to assessment; and provide teachers with feedback on their assessment practices.
There are certain steps you can take if you feel your result does not reflect your performance. Please refer to the myAdvisor web site. (http://www.uq.edu.au/myadvisor/index.html?page=2953&pid=2910)Further to the statement on academic integrity and plagiarism above, students are required to read and understand the ITEE policy on Student Misconduct (http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/about_ITEE/policies/student-misconduct.html).
The policy and procedure for late arrival or non-attendance at centrally controlled examinations is set out in the University's Examinations policy (HUPP 3.30.5), sections 8 and 10.2.
The way in which late arrival at a School-controlled examination is dealt with will be at the discretion of the course coordinator, who may be guided by the policy for centrally controlled exams.
Where an adjustment is made to an accredited program, it is the responsibility of the relevant Faculty to liaise with professional and registration bodies regarding the acceptability of the change/s.
