Course Announcements:

• Advance Details of Final Exam Format: (Updated March 28, 8:57 PM.)
The final exam will follow the D2L quiz format used in our assignments. It will be 3 hours in equvablent length, consistent with past exams in the course. It is an open-book exam covering the entire course material, and you will have 48 hours to complete it. You will be given access to the D2L final exam at 6:30 pm Monday April 27 and the final exam must be completed and submitted to D2L by 6:30 pm Wednesday April 29, which is the end of the Registrar-scheduled ENGG 225 final exam. You are expected to complete this final exam on your own without collaboration or assistance.

• Course Adjustments due to COVID-19 Pandemic: (Updated March 23, 9:22 PM.)
The COVID-19 situation is evolving quickly, and we are adapting as best we can. Here is how the course will be run for the rest of the Winter 2020 semester:
• The remaining labs are cancelled and your Lab grade will be taken from your Labs 0, 1, and 2. Approximately half of the students completed Lab 3 and these grades will not be included.
• The Final Exam will not be in-person, and our current plan is to hold it as an online D2L quiz to be completed by 6:30 pm Wednesday April 29. Please watch here and D2L for details.
• Since there will not be an in-person Final Exam, we will have modified the weights of the Midterm and Final Exams. Details are in the newly approved revised course outline.
• Assignments as D2L quizzes will continue normally.
• Lectures will continue in pre-recorded online format. Each week, you will be informed of the online video content for which you are responsible. Individual section instructors will communicate with their students on how to contact them for assistance or picking up midterm exam papers.

Stay safe!
