Course notes will be handed out to the students. Announcements will be made at the beginning of class. Students are responsible for being aware of all. announcements. HANDING IN MINI PROJECTS: Mini projects are due at (or before) 3:00 pm, in the designated boxes on the first floor of the MacLeod building, on the assigned due date. Mini projects handed in on the due date but after the TA has collected them will be marked as though they had been handed in on the following “teaching day”. Late mini projects will lose 20% per teaching day late for the first 2 teaching days and will not be accepted after that. ‘Any handwriting, e.g., equations and/or text, included in a mini project report must be clearly legible and unambiguous at the time of submission for any credit to be given. “After-the-fact” explanations or clarifications of unclear or ambiguous material will not be considered, also, the markers reserve the right to deduct points for poor presentation. All mini projects must be handed in with a properly filled-out, signed mini project cover sheet attached. This cover sheet can be found on CANVAS. No soft copies of project reports will be accepted. Note: i d:Electrical and Computer Engineering —ELEC 301 tnroductoy Mater —P 1-11 Do THe Proptem Sers: The problem sets are well coordinated with the material, so it is important to keep up with them as the material is covered. Not all problem solutions will be Presented in class as examples, There comes a point at which a student must start to develop Confidence in their work; there are no solutions sets handed out in life. This course is a good place to start to build that confidence. Nevertheless, any question related to any problem will be answered during office hours (or, sometimes, during class), provided that an honest attempt to solve the problem has been made by the student. EMAILING THE INSTRUCTOR: In any email sent to the instructor, you must include ELEC301F19 (followed by a space) at the beginning of the subject line (in order to be ‘identified by my filter, this must be included exactly as shown) or you may not receive a reply'. For example, the subject line might look thus: SUBJECT: ELEC301F19 Request for an Appointment, Email to the instructor must be solicited by the instructor, be used to arrange for a meeting with the instructor, or be sent to advise the instructor of a critical matter (¢.g., sickness during a test). Email should not be used for matters that can be dealt with during regular class time or during office hours (e.g., questions regarding course material, how to solve problems, announcements or material covered in previous announcements, etc.). 1 After Friday, September 20°, 2019, email messages that donot have the correct identifier inthe subject line will not receive a response.

A concession will only be granted if the reason for the absence is acceptable. The only concession that may be granted is to move the weight of the missed test to the other tests. Documentation supporting the request for a concession will be requested in most cases. For example, in the case of illness, a signed Doctor's note that unequivocally states that the Doctor has determined that the student is (was) ill and unable to sit the midterm may be required (Doctors' notes that are not unequivocal will normally not be considered, especially in the case of a note obtained after the test in question has taken place). Engineering Student Services will be consulted in unusual/non-standard cases and the case may be referred to an Academic Advisor for resolution. ailure to Submit a Project on Time or in Accordance with the Students seeking an academic concession due to their failure to submit a project on time or in accordance with the instructions provided for any reason must notify the Instructor within 1 day (24 hours) of their failure to properly submit the project.

As members of this enterprise, all students are expected to know, understand, and follow the codes of conduct regarding academic integrity. At the most basic level, this means submitting only original work done by you and acknowledging all sources of information or ideas and attributing them to others as required. This also means you should not cheat, copy, or mislead others about what is your work. Violations of academic integrity (i.e., academic misconduct, see below) lead to the breakdown of the academic enterprise, and therefore serious consequences arise and harsh sanctions are imposed. For example, incidences of plagiarism or cheating may result in a mark of zero on the assignment or exam and more serious consequences may apply if the matter is referred to the President’s Advisory Committee on Student Discipline. Careful records are kept in order to monitor and prevent recurrences. Academic Honesty and Standards: Academic honesty is essential to the continued functioning of the University of British Columbia as an institution of higher learning and research. All UBC students are expected to behave as honest and responsible members of an academic community. Breach of those expectations or failure to follow the appropriate policies, principles, rules, and guidelines of the University with respect to academic honesty may result in disciplinary action. Its the student's obligation to inform himself or herself of the applicable standards for academic honesty. Students must be aware that standards at the University of British o Electrical and Computer Engineering — ELEC 301 Introductory Material —P 1.18 Columbia may be different from those in secondary schools or at other institutions. If a student is in any doubt as to the standard of academic honesty in a particular course or assignment, then the student must consult with the instructor as soon as possible, and in no case should a student submit an assignment if the student is not clear on the relevant standard of academic honesty. If an allegation is made against a student, the Registrar may place the student on academic hold until the President has made his or her final decision. When a student is placed on academic hold, the student is blocked from all activity in the Student Service Centre. Link to the governing Calendar entry on Academic Honesty and Standards: httpi// sb v 2: Academic Misconduct: Students are responsible for informing themselves of the guidelines of acceptable and non-acceptable conduct for graded assignments established by their instructors for specific courses and of the examples of academic misconduct set out below. Academic misconduct that is subject to disciplinary measures includes, but is not limited to, engaging in, attempting to engage in, or assisting others to engage, in any of the actions described below. 1. Cheating, which may include, but is not limited to: a) falsification of any material subject to academic evaluation, including researchniroductory Material —P 119 & Electrical and Computer Engineering — ELEC 30 data; b)use of or participation in unauthorized collaborative work; ©) use or possession in an examination of any materials (including devices) other than those permitted by the examiner; 4d) use, possession, or facilitation of unauthorized means to complete an examination (eg., receiving unauthorized assistance from another person, or providing that assistance); and ©) dishonest practices that breach rules governing examinations or submissions for academic evaluation (see the in, inations). 2. Plagiarism, which is intellectual theft, occurs where an individual submits or presents the oral or written work of another person as his or her own. Scholarship quite properly rests upon examining and referring to the thoughts and writings of others. However, when another person's words (i.e. phrases, sentences, or paragraphs), ideas, or entire works are used, the author must be acknowledged in the text, in footnotes, in endnotes, or in another accepted form of academic citation. Where direct quotations are made, they must be clearly delineated (for example, within quotation marks or separately indented). Failure to provide proper attribution is plagiarism because it represents someone else's work as one's own. Plagiarism should not occur in submitted drafts or final works. A student who seeks assistance from a tutor or other scholastic aids must ensure that the work submitted is the student's own. Students are responsible for Electrical and Computer Engineering — ELEC 301 Introductory Material — P 1.20 ensuring that any work submitted does not constitute plagiarism, Students who are in any doubt as to what constitutes plagiarism should consult their instructor before - handing in any assignments. 3. Submitting the same, or substantially the same, essay, presentation, or assignment more than once (whether the earlier submission was at this or another institution) unless prior approval has been obtained from the instructor(s) to whom the assignment is to be submitted. 4, Impersonating a candidate at an examination or other evaluation, facilitating the impersonation of a candidate, or availing oneself of the results of an impersonation. 5, Submitting false records or information, orally or in writing, or failing to provide relevant information when requested. 6. Falsifying or submitting false documents, transcripts, or other academic credentials, 7, Failing to comply with any disciplinary measure imposed for academic misconduct, Link to the governing Calendar e1 hi ww.calent ntry on Academic Misconduct: Ive vi 4,11
