| Course Evaluation |
Note: In order for a student to pass a course, a minimum overall course mark of 50% must be obtained. In addition, for courses that have both "Theory and Laboratory" components, the student must pass the Laboratory and Theory portions separately by achieving a minimum of 50% in the combined Laboratory components and 50% in the combined Theory components. Please refer to the "Course Evaluation" section above for details on the Theory and Laboratory components (if applicable). | ||||||||||||||
| Examinations | - Midterm exam is scheduled in Week 8, for the duration of 2 hours, (covers Weeks 1-8 of lecture and laboratory material). The date and time of the midterm exam is on Tuesday, March 5th during the regular lecture hours. It will be a closed book exam. - Final exam will be held during exam period. The duration will be 3 hours, (covers all course material) It will alsobe a closed book exam | ||||||||||||||
| Other Evaluation Information | - All quizzes, mid-term test and final examination will be closed book/ closed notes and will be administered in-person. LAB WORK: Each lab experiment is to be done individually, and comprises of Pre-Lab Work, In-Lab Work and Post-Lab Work. Pre-Lab Work must be submitted (uploaded) online prior to the start of student's scheduled lab period. The Lab Report consisting of the In-Lab Work and Post-Lab Work, is to be submitted (uploaded) to d2l within 24 hours of the completion of the experiment (Refer to each lab description and information posted on the course website for evaluation and lab submission requirements). QUIZZES: Each Quiz will comprise of problem questions, and scheduled during designated tutorial period. A tutorial session will be held before the Quiz. | ||||||||||||||
| Teaching Methods | Lectures will be held in-person in the designated classroom. The In-Lab Work and tutorials to be undertaken in-person in the designated Laboratory room. Please carefully check your schedule for location of the lecture and lab classes. The lab attendance is mandatory. | ||||||||||||||
| Other Information | As noted earlier, each student is required to purchase a Laboratory Kit and to download the licensed version of the MultiSIM circuit simulation software tool. Please refer to the course website on D2L for more instructions/requirements. | ||||||||||||||

Students are reminded that they are required to adhere to all relevant university policies found in their online course shell in D2L and/or on the Senate website
Refer to the Departmental FAQ page for furhter information on common questions.
You can submit an Academic Consideration Request when an extenuating circumstance has occurred that has significantly impacted your ability to fulfill an academic requirement. You may always visit the Senate website and select the blue radio button on the top right hand side entitled: Academic Consideration Request (ACR) to submit this request.
For Extenuating Circumstances, Policy 167: Academic Consideration allows for a once per semester ACR request without supporting documentation if the absence is less than 3 days in duration and is not for a final exam/final assessment. Absences more than 3 days in duration and those that involve a final exam/final assessment, require documentation. Students must notify their instructor once a request for academic consideration is submitted. See Senate Policy 167: Academic Consideration.
If a student is requesting accommodation due to a religious, Aboriginal and/or spiritual observance, they must submit their request via the online Academic Consideration Request (ACR) system within the first two weeks of the class or, for a final examination, within two weeks of the posting of the examination schedule. If the required absence occurs within the first two weeks of classes, or the dates are not known well in advance as they are linked to other conditions, these requests should be submitted with as much lead time as possible in advance of the required absence.
Academic Accommodation Support (AAS) is the university's disability services office. AAS works directly with incoming and returning students looking for help with their academic accommodations. AAS works with any student who requires academic accommodation regardless of program or course load.
Academic Accommodations (for students with disabilities) and Academic Consideration (for students faced with extenuating circumstances that can include short-term health issues) are governed by two different university policies. Learn more about Academic Accommodations versus Academic Consideration and how to access each.
At Toronto Metropolitan University, we recognize that things can come up throughout the term that may interfere with a student’s ability to succeed in their coursework. These circumstances are outside of one’s control and can have a serious impact on physical and mental well-being. Seeking help can be a challenge, especially in those times of crisis.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 911 and go to the nearest hospital emergency room. You can also access these outside resources at anytime:
If non-crisis support is needed, you can access these campus resources:
We encourage all Toronto Metropolitan University community members to access available resources to ensure support is reachable. You can find more resources available through the Toronto Metropolitan University Mental Health and Wellbeing website.
