Referencing Style
Curtin Engineering advises students that Curtin University supports the "Chicago Referencing Style" for written work and oral presentations. For a guide to this style please see http://library.curtin.edu.au/referencing/index.html However, students are permitted to use other recognised styles that appear in the Engineering literature. Note also that individual lecturers can stipulate that a particular style is used when it best matches the type of work in the assessment of the particular unit.
Awarding of Grades
To pass this unit you must: Achieve a grade/mark greater than or equal to 5/50. Pass Final Exam by achieving minimum 50% marks for the Final Exam paper A mark out of 100 will be allocated for the unit combining marks for individual assessed components. No make up for Class Test with Zero Marks awarded for not attending. No make up lab sessions for those who miss scheduled lab class with ZERO marks awarded for not attending. Hard copy of lab reports are to be submitted to Assignment Office before 4.00 pm on the deadline indicated on Lab Timetable. Electronic file of Lab report is to be emailed to t.chandratilleke@curtin.edu.au by the same deadline as the hard copy. ZERO MARKS are awarded for LATE SUBMISSIONS of (hardcopy & electronic file) lab reports.
