Course Description

Mathematics forms an important part of the Electrical Engineering degree and includes first-year courses taught by the department of mathematics

Each week there are two lectures. In addition, each student will be assigned to a small group which will meet once a week for a tutorial class (starting in week 2 in each semester). Details of the allocations to tutorial groups will be displayed on the relevant course unit web-pages

Assessment and Coursework

For each course, there will be a two hour examination in January. This will count 75 % of the assessment for 1E1 and 80 % for 1E2). The remaining 20% or 25% will come from coursework taken as the semester progresses.

A further slot will be based around the coursework and will, at different times, involve getting used to the Moodle/STACK assessment system, carrying out work for assessment, receiving feedback on assessment etc. There will be four pieces of coursework in each semester ; the first assignment in semester 1 will be the followup to the diagnostic test where students will be directed towards resources on areas where they may have underachieved on the diagnostic test.

NOTE: Action will be taken against any student submitting coursework which is not totally their own work. This can include resetting a mark to zero. It is recognised that a constructive discussion between students on questions is a good thing. However, if a group of students drafts out a solution to a question, it is up to each student to show that they understand the solution by writing the solution independently.

No credit will be given for coursework submitted late unless the student's personal tutor contacts Dr Steele to request otherwise (e.g. in case of illness etc).
