What this paper is about
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/
How this paper will be taught
Students attend two lectures, one worksheet discussion class and one laboratory each week. Lectures will start on week 1. Complete the online quiz by the same day you have lecture.
Tutorials and labs commence in the week 2.
Tests are conducted online through Moodle
There will be an examination at the end of the trimester.
Lectures
The self-paced study occurs one week before the scheduled topic discussed in the class. For example, we will cover Ohm's Law in week 2. That means we expect, during week 1, every student to watch all the videos listed under week 2 section of the Moodle and go through the relevant section of the textbook. Attempt the week 2 online quiz during week 1, you can expect your questions answered in the lecture session in week 2.
Tutorials
One hour tutorial every week will go through worked examples to prepare the class for examination.
Labs
All lab related works should be completed within the allocated three hour session. Consult Moodle page for detail information regarding labs.
Online Quizzes
Online quizzes are available online through Moodle and are assessed. Have as many attempts as you like. You are advised to attempt the online quizzes as soon as you complete the recorded lecture (and textbook) to find out any gap in understanding. That way you can make the best use of the coming lecture/tutorial slots to fill up the gap in your understanding.
Tests
There will be one hour test running on Moodle every fortnight. These tests are a major assessed component in this paper. The tests have one hour time limit. You are responsible to find a suitable computer to complete the test. Missing the test time will result in zero mark for the test component.
Please do not assume all assessment due date follow the same pattern. Check individual assessment opening and closing time on Moodle. This is part of the training as engineer to cope with varying weektoweek
tasks.
Required Readings
Some recorded lectures are mandatory. You will be allowed to attempt quizzes & tests only after completing the specified recorded lectures.
This restriction will be enforced to help your to maintain consistent pace of learning and to ensure everyone's safety in the laboratory.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessments
How you will be assessed
Due dates for individual Tests and Quizzes can be found on the Moodle page.
Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted.
