Each row shows the item name, the maximum mark and your mark.  Composite items (e.g. Labs, Final Mark) show a percentage.  These items, including the final mark, only include the items that have been marked thus far.  Your rank in the class is based on the final mark (1 is highest). 

If there is a mark of zero for an item you submitted:

In the Dropbox folder under the "Feedback" column you can retrieve an annotated version of your PDF submission.  It will contain with my comments and your mark.

The marking scheme (rubric) is given in:

Mid-Term Exam

Will be held on Wednesday, November 4 at 9:30 AM.  Two hours (one hour more than the scheduled lecture time) will be allowed.

It will cover up to the end of Lecture 4.

It is open-book (all notes and books allowed).  Calculators are the only electronic devices allowed.

Previous mid-terms and solutions for this course (and the very similar course, ELEX 4340) are available on-line (see the course information sheet for the URL).

Room Change for Mid-Term Exam

The mid-term exam will be held on Wednesday, November 4 from 9:30 to 11:20 in: SW1-4076.


Note the room change.  This is to accomodate the two-hour exam duration.

Lab 7

Lab 7 will start on November 5 even though there is no pre-lab assignment for it and I haven't handed out the lab procedure yet.  I will hand out out the lab instructions and explain the lab during the lab.

This lab will be held over two weeks but it is long so it is important that you show up for the first lab.

Mid-Term Exam Marks

The mid-term exam has been marked and the solutions and marking scheme are available.  You can retrieve your marks from the Marks file using the password e-mailed to you earlier.  The min/mean/media/maximum marks were: 4, 11.1, 11.5 and 16 respectively (out of 16).  The distribution of the marks is shown below.

Spectrum Management Officer-in-Training Posting

 I've been asked to pass on this notice:

"Here is the link to the posting for Spectrum Management Officer-in-Training positions.

https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page1800?poster=869816&toggleLanguage=en

One piece of advice you might pass on is to be follow the instructions carefully.  If an application is missing key information, it will likely be screened out of the process before it gets to the hiring managers."
