For schedule of CDTs and Labs, check COURSE CONTENTS table in page 3. COMPUTER-DELIVERED TUTORIALS (CDTs): The Computer Delivered Tutorials (CDTs) are active learning sessions which help, encourage, and reward you for keeping up with the problem-solving component of the course. They are basically open-book automated quizzes during which you have access to tutorial assistance. Students individually answer questions delivered by a computer, where they are allowed to use textbooks/notes and discuss the solution methods with TAs and peers. The CDT questions are based on the course concepts and the end of chapter problems. The questions will have random numerical values, making each student’s CDT unique. All CDTs sessions are held in E2 1792, and each lasts for about 2 hours.

LABORATORY WORK: The course includes 1+5 Lab experiments to be performed in groups of two students in E2-1792. Lab procedures and studies are described in the Laboratory Manuals, which will be available on UW-LEARN. You will save time if you thoroughly study the relevant sections of the lab manual before attempting the experiment in the lab. Come to the lab with a clear understanding of what you need to accomplish and/or with clear questions, so that the teaching team can help you. The labs include a calculation component and a report component. Both are due at 11:00pm on the day of your lab. All students will be given a lab test, at a time to be announced on Learn.

LAB and CDT Late Policy: CDTs are automatically marked at the end of your session. Late CDTs are not accepted. If you have to miss a lab or a CDT for a legitimate reason, including illness, personal emergency, or interviews, you must contact the lab coordinator prior to your session. Alternate arrangements will be made only for students who contact the lab coordinator prior to a lab or CDT session, unless an emergency arises. Lab reports and calculations are due at 11pm on the day that you complete your lab experiments. If you were unable to complete your experiments during your lab session you must contact the lab coordinator during the session and alternate arrangements will be made. If you did not contact the lab coordinator then the late policy is as follows: -

Lab submitted before 11pm: no penalty Lab submitted between 11pm and 12pm: -25% from total grade

ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS:   

End-of-chapter problems are assigned weekly from the course textbook. They are not collected nor graded. It is very important for students to attempt solving the problems on their own regularly to reinforce their comprehension of the concepts and analysis techniques presented throughout the term, and for after-exams happiness. Solutions for the assigned problems will be posted on UW-LEARN.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Students are expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing academic offences and to take responsibility for their actions. Students who are unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who need help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about "rules" for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course professor, TA, academic advisor, or the Undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy #71, Student Academic Discipline. Students who believe that they have been wrongfully or unjustly penalized have the right to grieve; refer to Policy#70, Student Grievance. Specific student responsibilities for GENE 123 are:  Your behaviour must be respectful and professional in the lectures, tutorials, CDTs and Labs.  You must complete the exams as an individual using only the allowable aids.  CDT groups must determine their own solution to each question, but they are free to discuss solution methods with TAs and peers, and use textbooks and notes.  Lab groups must prepare, perform, and document laboratory experiments as their own original work. This means groups must not copy the Pre-Lab, Measured Data, or Write-Up from other groups (including old labs). Discussion between groups is encouraged, but copying is prohibited.  You are responsible for knowing the course schedule, and must monitor UW-LEARN for changes to the schedule and general announcements.  You are responsible for informing your instructor and/or the First Year Engineering Office when you miss a lab, CDT or exam due to extenuating circumstances. Documentation verifying the severity of the situation (e.g., medical note stating student is unable to attend an exam due to a severe illness) will be required to provide accommodations. No make-up will be available for a missed CDT or Lab. The student must arrange with the CDT/Lab coordinator to take the missed CDT/Lab with another session in the same week.

Note for students with disabilities: AccessAbility Office (AAO), 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 AAO at the beginning of each academic term.
