- Since you are doing all the work this week preparing for the SDL presentation, I've got time to finish grading the midterms: only two more questions to grade. I've graded 58% of them completely; so far the average is 76%.
- I've uploaded the grades that I have so far to Avenue. To emphasize this, questions which are not graded yet have been entered as "-99".
- Please disregard the average that Avenue calculates. Avenue doesn't do unusual grading schemes like "5 bonus marks on the midterm". Only use Avenue to check the grades of individual questions.
- For the HAZOP study: please investigate only one unit, 2 nodes, 3 parameters per node, and 3 guide words.
- More information added:: For the SDL project presentations: a good rule of thumb for presenters is that you talk about a slide for about 1.5 to 3 minutes. That implies you need 5 to 7 slides for the 10 minutes of talking, and 1 or 2 extra for the class activity: so a total of about 8 slides. There are very few exceptions to this guideline, so please don't generate a lot of slide material: this is one case where "less is more". Another point is on font size. If you cannot read your slide when standing 2 meters away from your computer monitor, then the letters are too small.
- Could I please ask you all to seriously consider filling in a course evaluation at https://evals.mcmaster.ca - they are really helpful for me to update and shape the course for 2013. Evaluations close on 30 November.
- Note regarding the last class: the last class for 4N4 is on Monday, 03 December, at 10:00 in JHE 342 (tutorial time slot). There was no other way to schedule this given the large number of groups presenting. Group A1 will present the last SDL report, then I will talk about the final exam. The class will be video recorded for those that cannot make it to the tutorial time. I will also answer any questions by email for those that can't make it.
- One final hand-in is due for this course, other than your project: it is a course reflection. Due any time between now and 03 December. Please fill in this electronic form for your reflection. This form covers 3 areas:
- You might want to wait until just before the final project hand-in so you can evaluate your peers. Please note that the reflection counts about 4% of your overall grade, and the peer evaluation is mandatory.
