• Mastering Physics: Mastering Physics assignments are online tasks, due every two weeks. These are done using the MasteringPhysics system, accessed via Canvas. Each assignment consists of 6 questions, each worth 5 marks even though some are a little longer than others. They are a mix of tutorial-style questions teaching you concepts and problem-solving techniques, and end-of-chapter problems from the textbook. You can come back to the assignment as often as you like until the due date. MasteringPhysics marks the assignments automatically and you immediately know your result. The best 5 marks count towards your grade.
• Workshop tutorials: Contributing to Workshop Tutorials is an important part of success in this Unit of Study. Tutorials can be attended either online or face-to-face. You can count attendance at some "Physics Connect" sessions towards your tutorial attendance.
• Laboratory work: circuits. Assessment in the laboratory is based on successful completion of laboratory work.  In order to pass the laboratory component, you must
  • complete all four circuits experiments
  • achieve at least 15/20 marks for the laboratory project.
  • Must be attempted & must meet hurdle mark threshold otherwise = AF grade
• Laboratory work: project. In the second half of semester, you work on a research project with one of the research groups in the School.  This is assessed with a group talk and an individual report, as well as a mark from your supervisor.
• Pre-work quizzes: These are weekly online quizzes which test your understanding of lab skills.
• Mid-semester test: The mid-semester test will cover material from the first lecture module (Electricity and Magnetism). The test is made up of short-answer questions. It will be held during your scheduled lab session.
• Final examination: The final exam is on material not tested in the mid-semester test. No laboratory work is examinable. The final exam is a compulsory assessment task. Failure to sit the final exam will result in an AF grade.
• Lab test: This is a practical and written test on circuits and the skills learned in the pre-work material.
• Lab report: At the end of semester you will submit a lab report based on your research project. 

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

Final exam: If a second replacement exam is required, this exam may be delivered via an alternative assessment method, such as a viva voce (oral exam). The alternative assessment will meet the same learning outcomes as the original exam. The format of the alternative assessment will be determined by the unit coordinator.
