Audio/Video Recording
Audio or video recording of lectures and seminars or any other teaching environment by students
is allowed only with the prior written consent of the instructor or as a part of an approved
accommodation plan. Recorded material is to be used solely for personal study, and is not be
used or distributed for any other purpose without prior written consent from the instructor.
Calculator Policy
Only approved non-programmable calculators with gold stickers are allowed in all exams. Stu-
dents can purchase calculators at the University Book Store with stickers already affixed.
Calculators purchased elsewhere can be brought to the Dean’s Office where the appropri-
ate sticker will be affixed to the calculator. List of approved calculators can be found at
http://www.engineering.ualberta.ca/calculator.cfm.
Exam-Related Information
• All exams in the course are closed book. No any books and no any lecture notes
are allowed.
• Formula sheet will be provided. The formula sheets will be posted on the course
website one week before each exam. Exams will include both theoretical questions and
practical problems to be solved.
• ONE double side page (Letter Format, Width 27.94 cm, Height 21.59 cm) with
ONLY own hand-written notes (not scanned and not photo-copied) is allowed.
• Students writing examinations are required to confirm their identity by presenting their
student card or other acceptable photo identification.
• Only those aids, calculators, references, etc. authorized by the instructor may be brought
into the examination facility. The use of unauthorized personal listening, recording, pho-
tographic and/or computational devices is prohibited. Students who bring unauthorized
devices into an examination will be charged with cheating under the provisions of the
Code of Student Behaviour-www.governance.ualberta.ca.
