Evaluation: The course grade will be based on 1 computer literacy assignment, 10 lab assignments, a midterm and final examination which will be held according to the Official Examination Schedule. The merit breakdown is as follows: Computer Literacy Exercise 1 × 5% = 5% Midterm Examination

20%

Lab Exercises

10 × 3.5% = 35%

Final Examination

40%

Lab assignments are due by 23:59 on the Sunday following the week that they are assigned. In order to pass the course, your examination grade must be at least 50%. If your examination average is below 50%, you will receive this grade instead.

Course Responsibilities: The First-Year Engineering Office outlines these here: http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ugoffice/html/course_responsibilities.html Academic Integrity, Grievance, Discipline, Appeals and Note for Students with Disabilities: see http://www.uwaterloo.ca/accountability/documents/courseoutlinestmts.pdf. The text for this web site is listed below: • Academic Integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. [Check http://www.uwaterloo.ca/academicintegrity/ for more information.] • Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4, www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/ Policies/policy70.htm. When in doubt please be certain to contact the department’s administrative assistant who will provide further assistance. • Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity [check http: //www.uwaterloo.ca/academicintegrity/] to avoid committing an academic offence, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course instructor, academic advisor, or the undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71, Student Discipline http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy71.htm. For typical penalties check Guidelines for the Assessment of Penalties, http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/ infosec/guidelines/penaltyguidelines.htm. • Appeals: A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70 (Student Petitions and Grievances) (other than a petition) or Policy 71 (Student Discipline) may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72 (Student Appeals) http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy72.htm. • Note for Students with Disabilities: The Office for persons with Disabilities (OPD), located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the OPD at the beginning of each academic term.
