Assignment DetailsA. Environmental Water Quality Parameters Assignment (8 %): The problem assignment is designed to keep students in touch with material being covered in class. Due: 29th July, 2013 9:00 amB. Ecosystem Assignment (8%): The assignment is designed to keep students in touch with material being covered in class. Due: 16thAugust, 2013 9:00 amC. Environmental Mass Balances Assignment (8%): The problem assignment is designed to keep students in touch with material being covered in class. Due: 20th September, 2013 9:00 amD. Coagulation/Flocculation Lab Report Write-up (8%): Submitting one report for 3 people, this lab report is designed for you to synthesize your lab results into a cogent, well-presented laboratory report. Due: 7 days after you finish the lab 9:00 amE. Air Pollution, Water and Wastwater Treatment Assignment (8%): The problem assignment is designed to keep students in touch with material being covered in class. Due: 4th October, 2013 9:00 amF. Interm Test (20%): To cover material through to 9th August (Lectures 1 – 20). Time is 90 minutes. Location to be announced – note it will be in the evening. Any approved calculator allowed. Could be a mix of multiple choice, short answer, and longer exercises, mathematical and written questions. Tentative Date: 15th August 2013 @7:00 pmG. Exam (40%): To cover material from 13th August through to 11th October (Lectures 21 – 48). Duration is 2 hours. Time and location to be announced Any approved calculator allowed. Could be a mix of multiple choice, short answer, and longer exercises, mathematical and written questions. Note: Model solutions for previous year’s tests or exams will not be provided; however if you have made a serious effort and can show some workings, we will give you some guidance and hints. Repeating StudentsSince some students may have taken material extracted from either ENNR203, ENCI383 or last year’s ENCN281, they need to see the course co-ordinator by Monday 22nd July to determine what, if any, assignment marks can be carried over. Repeating students should attend most, if not all, sessions, and definitely must do the ecosystems assignment and take the test and examination. In general, they should be able to carry over their marks from the previous year for the water quality, mass balance, and air pollution, water and wastewater treatment assignments, or repeat them for a higher mark. Repeating students are not expected to attend the Coagulation/Flocculation Laboratory but can carry over their lab report mark. If they wish to improve their understanding of the lab, they should contact Peter McGuigan so they can be scheduled. Please see David Wareham if you have any questions at all about this.
A Course Reader is available containing the power point slides and course notes that accompany the lectures for David Wareham. The other lecturers in this course will be posted on Learn and can be downloaded before each lecture.In addition, there are several copies in the library of Water Quality Characteristics: Modeling and Modification by George Tchobanoglous and Edward D Schoeder, both of University of California, Davis.
Important Survival Tips for ENCN 281Note: Other than the notes contained in the Course Workbook, students are expected to take their own notes during lectures which might be given via whiteboard, overhead projector or Power Point. In addition, some required diagrams, charts and extra readings will be supplied and/or posted on LEARN.Note: You should date and make a photocopy of all items of assessment before you hand them in. This is because sometimes assignments get put in the wrong homework boxes, get inadvertently picked up by friends and never passed back to you and/or simply go missing. In addition, because we are reliant on markers who have their own personal schedules, many times assignments are not handed back in time for tests. Thus, it is best if you make a copy so you have something to study from.Note: Always, always bring your Course Workbook and/or Course Notes when seeking help from the lecturers. If something is not clear on an assignment, we can often point out where it is in your course notes and suddenly, something that you have glossed over and/or not fully understood, may fall into place and become clear. If you don’t bring your notes and come with a question that we feel is best explained by looking at your notes – we will send you back to get them.Note: Dr. Wareham does not make his powerpoint lectures available on-line – this is because they often contain photographs and other material that he has obtained under the express condition that they be not released electronically. As such, if you miss a lecture for whatever reason it is your responsibility to fill in missing information in your Course Workbook by getting the information from your class mates. Note: At the end of the course when all internal assessment marks are in, a copy of your marks will be posted on the 1st pro notice board (outside the civil common room) on the 1st floor (where the academics sometimes have their morning tea). Please check this board to see that your record of your marks agree with the records that Dr. Wareham holds and that there haven’t been any transcription errors. If there is a disagreement, please bring the item of assessment to Dr. Wareham as soon as possible so that he can sight it and change his records accordingly. Note that the marks will be scrambled and listed most probably by the last 4 digits of your student ID number. Note: Further to this, do have a thorough read of the course notes before attempting any assignment or coming to see us. We give those lecture notes for a reason. ☺
