Report deadline (4.30pm)

All morning lectures start at 10.00 am.
All morning laboratory sessions start at 9.00 am.
All afternoon lectures start at 2.00pm.

Assessments

Written test - 25%
Labs - 30%
Project - 45%

For the Labs deliverables, are expected to show all listing of your work, evidences of your results and short desscription of observations and results in form of a log book. Formal report is not required.

Except for the written test, all assessments will be done as a group (i.e. only one report and one log book for each group).
