This section contains updates for the Easter term and should be read in conjunction with the briefing notes issued in both Michaelmas and Lent terms.
On-line timetables
The University-wide online lecture list for Engineering cannot be guaranteed as accurate by the Department. It is available to download to smart devices for this term but should be checked against the timetable on the Department website as there may have been changes to lecture times since the University-wide lecture list was produced.
Submission of fourth year coursework to examiners
Please remember that ALL your Part IIB module coursework has to be available for inspection by the external examiners. You must therefore ensure that you:
- collect all your work from wherever you handed it in to, and
- hand in all your marked coursework to Lecture Room 10 between 11.00 and 12.30 on one of the following days: Thursday 2, Friday 3 or Monday 6 June.
If you have a problem attending on the above dates, please contact the Teaching Office to discuss.
A IIB submission form must be downloaded and signed, stating all work submitted is your own. There will be provision on the form to indicate if any coursework was submitted electronically and therefore not included in the bundle. The form should be placed on top of your bundle of coursework, which should then be tied securely with string or elastic bands. The Chairman of IIB Examiners will be advised of any student whose coursework is not received.
Note: Make sure you keep a copy of your module or project work before submitting it for inspection as no work will be returned to students.
Fourth year projects hand in information
By 4pm on Wednesday 25 May, you must hand in to your Group Centre:
- TWO copies of your final report (each starting with a copy of your Technical Abstract)
- PLUS a separate copy of your Technical Abstract
- PLUS your log book/electronic equivalent
It is important that you follow the instructions on formatting your final report and your Technical Abstract that are given in the Second Notice.
Please remember that if you leave printing to the last minute you may encounter difficulties and delays. The Operators in the DPO are there to help you, but they are not responsible for any problems you encounter, and will deal with queries on a first come first served basis.
Also, as stated in the Second Notice, much of the administration for projects (including the organisation of the Easter term oral presentations) is handled by the Group Centres. Each Group will organise its own presentation sessions. Information is not held centrally by the Teaching Office so please direct any queries to the group centres.
National Student Survey
If you haven't yet completed the National Student Survey (NSS), please note that it is open until the end of April. The Department finds the feedback very helpful - do remember that the survey is aimed at getting feedback from you on your experiences over the whole four year course, including College as well as Department teaching.
