The two exercises are due as a single file via onQ on the due date.
Or, if you prefer, you can print your work and submit it on paper in class. We do not use a drop box for their submission. We don't collect or receive assignments later in that day.
This method allows the most careful handling of your work. It also allows us to display the answer guide promptly to help you review your progress. For that reason, we can't
accept late submissions, so be sure to submit whatever you have completed in class on the due date.
Remember that graphs must be drawn using software such as Excel. For data sources such as CANSIM please remember that you may need to either (a) be on campus or (b) log on via web proxy from home in order to gain access to the data.
Exercises must be your own work. Please review the Academic Integrity page.
There are no deferrals of midterm tests for any reason. The test and answer guide go on the web as soon as the test is written, and we cannot set a fair supplementary test for one or two people. Therefore, if you unfortunately miss a midterm test due to a documented illness, the grade-weight from that project will go on to the final exam.
Remember to submit a request if you wish to ask for academic consideration for any reason.
All components of this course will receive numerical percentage marks. The final grade you receive for the course will be derived by converting your numerical course average to a letter grade according to the university's official grade conversion scale.
