Remarks: - Students will be provided with a series of suggested problems. It is HIGHLY RECOMMANDED to invest significant time in PRACTICING with these problems.
- CHEATING in any component of the course, including exams, quizzes and lab. reports, WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED, according to AAST policies.
COURSE EVALUATION:
Labs: 10% a series of lab experiments with reports during the semester. Attendance is mandatory and will be checked (every Absence will result losing a mark). One report by team (number depends on the total registered students to the course). Clearly indicate who is the author of the report (absent student cannot write the report and thus the team will eventually get zero). The reports must be handed in one week after the lab session to the TA. Late submissions will NOT be accepted and ALL team members will get zero (0) (no exceptions).
Quizzes: 15% 5 short (20 min.) mandatory closed-book quizzes will be given during some tutorial sessions. Only basic scientific calculators will be allowed. No make-up quizzes will be provided. An absence results in a zero (0) mark (no exceptions).
Research Reports 10% One report by team (number depends on the total registered students to the course). The reports must be handed in the 7th, 13th and 14th week to the professor. Late submissions will NOT be accepted and ALL team members will get zero (0) (no exceptions). Please read the notes about PLAGIARISM at www.aast.edu/~khedr/Plagiarism/Plagiarism.html
Attendance Every Absence in the lecture and tutorial with no reason will result losing one mark from the Report mark of the student. 15% absence will result dropping the course
Midterm Exam: 15% 90 minutes, closed-book, only basic scientific calculators will be allowed (no programming capacity or alphanumeric keyboard). If you miss this exam, no make-up exam will be permitted (no exceptions).
Pre-final Exam: 10% 90 minutes, closed-book, only basic scientific calculators will be allowed (no programming capacity or alphanumeric keyboard). If you miss this exam, no make-up exam will be permitted (no exceptions).
Final Exam: 40% 2 hours, closed-book, only basic scientific calculators will be allowed (no programmable or alphanumeric keyboard calculators).
Final Mark: The final mark will be computed using the weighted sum of ALL of the above components.
To succeed in this course:
IF [ Midterm + Pre-Final Exam+ Lab+ Research report] > = 20 (%),
THEN:
FINAL MARK= [Midterm + Pre-Final Exam+ Lab+ Research report+ Final Exam] + Normalization curve
ELSE:
FINAL MARK = F
