TEXTBOOK Recommended David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, 2 nd Ed., Addison-Wesley, 1992 Good Book to Have R. Feynman, R. Leighton, and M. Sands, The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol. 2, Addison-Wesley, 1970 COURSE MARKS Laboratory Work 10 % Test-1 (location and time TBA) 20% Test-2 (location and time TBA) 20 % Three Quizzes 10% Final Exam 40 % COURSE WEBSITE Accessed from portal.utoronto.ca (course is on Blackboard) LABORATORY WORK (PRACTICAL) There are 4 laboratory experiments scheduled for this course, each worth 2.5% of your total mark. The materials related for these experiments can be found on the Portal. Laboratory experiments are intended to be self-studies. Enough materials and guides have been provided on Page 1 of 1
the course website (see Laboratories link) and in the book that a student can perform these experiments with relative ease. See page 3 of this document for your laboratories schedules. TEST-1 AND TEST-2 Two tests are scheduled for this course, Test-1 and Test-2, each worth 20% of your total mark. The examinations period will be outside of our regularly scheduled lecture hour, during the evening. The exact date, time, and location for the tests will be announced as soon as room reservations are confirmed. You are allowed to bring one page (8.5 by 11 ) aid-sheet to the exam, on which (both sides) you can write whatever you think you may need. If mathematical formulas and identities are needed they will be provided with the test. You are allowed to bring an approved calculator (non-programmable). You can write your answers in pen or pencil; however, requests for remarking will not be accepted if your exam paper is in pencil. QUIZZES Three quizzes are scheduled for this course. Collectively thy make up 10% of your total marks. Quizzes will be administrated during the lecture or tutorial sessions. They will be 10 to 15 minutes long. You should bring a piece of paper on which you will write your name and the answer(s) to the questions(s). You are allowed to bring an approved calculator (nonprogrammable). Quizzes are usually closed book, closed notes, and without an aid sheet, unless I have informed you in advance. If mathematical formulas and identities are needed they will be provided during the quiz time. You can write your answers in pen or pencil; however, requests for remarking will not be accepted if your exam paper is in pencil. FINAL EXAM: Final exam is cumulative and makes up 40% of your total mark. You are allowed to bring one page (8.5 by 11 ) aid-sheet, on which (both sides) you can write whatever you think you may need. If mathematical formulas and identities are needed they will be provided with the test. You are allowed to bring an approved calculator (non-programmable). OFFICE LOCATION AND EMAIL POLICY My office is located at SF2001D. My email address is Mojahedi@waves.utoronto.ca. Please be judicious with your use of email. Use email for emergency or very important communications. Email is not a good medium to communicate technical questions and mathematical difficulties. You can always come to my office hours, TA s office hours, or make an appointment to see me. If you have a technical question and want to communicate it via email, you must use Microsoft word with Equation Editor to write the mathematical expressions (no simple text) or use other software such as LaText and convert the file to PDF. All TAs will have their contact information available on the course website. I have also assigned office hours to some of the TAs. They will post their office hours on the course website. MISSING TESTS, QUIZZES, AND LABS There are no makeup for missed tests & quizzes in this course. The following describes my policy regarding legitimate cases of missing a test or quiz. By legitimate I mean situations beyond your control due to which you missed a test or a quiz; for example, a serious illness. For these legitimate cases you still need verifiable documents, for example a doctor s note. Page 2 of 2
If you miss one test (Test-1 or Test-2) I will use your mark in the final exam to calculate a mark for the missing exam. If you miss both Test-1 and Test-2, I will use your mark in the final exam minus 20% to calculate a mark for your Test-1 and Test-2. If you miss one quiz I will use the average of the remaining two quizzes to calculate a mark for the missing quiz. If you miss two quizzes, I will use the remaining quiz mark minus 15% to calculate the marks for the two missing quizzes. If you miss all three quizzes you will receive zero for missing quizzes. If you miss a laboratory exercise you should go to one of the other six laboratory sections which run the same experiment (during a two week period). Email me with information regarding the lab section and experiment which you have missed (or you cannot attend), copy the email to your lab TA & the TA of the lab section which you will attend to makeup the missed experiment. If for some strange reason you cannot attend any of the other six lab sections to makeup the missed experiment, I will use the average of the remaining three lab experiments to calculate a mark for the missed lab exercise. If you missed two labs exercises and were not able to attend other six sections to make up the missed exercise, I will use the average of the remaining two labs marks minus 15% to calculate your marks for the missing labs. If you miss three or more laboratory exercises you will receive zero for the missed lab exercises. PRACTICAL (LABORATORY) SCHEDULE ADDITIONAL REMARKS: I will not be here on Monday September 30 th. A colleague or a TA will give the lecture. Page 3 of 3
