NOTE: If covid-related restrictions (eg lockdowns) mean that in-person assessment is no longer possible we may move everything online. Should this happen we reserve the right to (i) adjust the weightings of each assessment item in whatever fashion seems appropriate, and (ii) change the due dates for any assessment items. How the weights change will depend on what changes we are forced to make and when during the trimester this happens.

Your final grade is determined from your performance in TWO in-trimester Tests, a FINAL TEST, and a total tutorial component (including weekly assignments).
All three tests must be supervised by a teacher (or taken at the Hamilton campus at the same time as the ENGEN102(HAM) class take the test). During these tests, students shall not use or have access to the internet, phones, laptops, smart watches, etc.
The FINAL TEST, held in the B trimester exam period, is a compulsory item of assessment.

Assignment sheets will be available each week, via moodle.

See the table below for Test dates and assessment weightings.

For identification purposes you must take your student ID Card to each test and show it to the test supervisor. If you do not, your test mark will not be counted until we cannot verify that it was you who sat the test.

The D rule: An UNRESTRICTED pass (i.e. C- or better) will only be awarded to students who achieve both a final overall mark of at least 50% and a Final Test mark of at least 40%. There will be no test resits.

The tutorial/assignment component.

• There will be 12 assignments and the best 10 marks will be counted. Assignments should be your own work and copying may lead to a referral to the university disciplinary committee. Essentially, there is an assignment to hand in every week.
• As you are likely to be off-campus, please submit your (handwritten) solutions as a SINGLE pdf file. The file can be produced using apps like CamScanner or google drive. Please ensure the filesize is well under 10MB. Files that are larger than this may not be accepted. The PDF should be emailed to Alista.Fow@waikato.ac.nz
  
• Each weekly assignment sheet will also include tutorial problems. There is no need to hand these in, although you are encouraged to do all of these. Practicing problem solving will improve your chances of doing well in this paper.
  

• The best n-2 out of n policy is intended to allow students to miss one or two assignments due to illness or other good reason without requiring us to process medical certificates. Where serious illness may cause a more prolonged absence, please consult the lecturer.
