Pre-Lab Grades (5%)
As I have mentioned a couple of times, since SolidProfessor did not provide a good interface for allowing students to verify that they had completed each pre-lab, I have decided to not deduct any points from this 5% component of the final course grade. I am just working under the assumption that you have all done this work and thus have earned the 5%.
Quiz Grades (20%)
I have posted a locked Excel sheet that contains the grades for Quizzes 1 through 5. I have asked the TA's to get the grades inputted for quizzes 6 and 7 as soon as possible. I am also working on getting the grades together for those of you who took the Retakes for Quizzes 1 and 2. I will try to repost an updated quiz grade sheet this weekend.****** Click here to access the Excel sheet. ******
As listed on the course syllabus, the quizzes account for 15% of the course grade. The Excel sheet contains a column that reports an overall quiz grade out of 15 points. Instead of reporting an average of all the grades, I sorted the grades and divided them into 4 groups (quartiles). The averages of each of these are as follows:
Q(1) - 18.8 ..... 94%
Q(2) - 16.0 .... 80%
Q(3) - 13.6 .... 68%
Q(4) - 8.9 .... 45%
SolidWorks Projects (15%)
I have placed a folder on the google drive that contains all the SolidWorks Projects that you should have completed. I preparation for the Final Exam, you should make sure that you have completed all these assignments.****** Click here to access the Folder ******
I will be posting the grades that have been recorded for these projects over the weekend. I would like to give all students the opportunity to get credit for this material so if you...
- did not complete the assignment
- did not get full credit for the assignment
- did the assignment but feel that the grade was entered incorrectly
You have two opportunities to have the TA's review your work and give you credit for the assignment:
- Next week during regularly scheduled labs on Mon, Tue and Wed
- The week of Dec 9th during the regularly scheduled labs on Mon, Tue and Wed.
Arduino Projects (15%)
I have placed a folder on the google drive that contains the three Arduino Projects that you should have completed.****** Click here to access the Folder ******
I would also like to give all students the opportunity to get credit for this material. Since you are already working in groups for your design project, you may work in groups to get these three assignments completed.
When you have the projects completed, you should present them to one of the TA's who will then check the project and then assign credit. You should present with each assignment a printed copy of the code that contains the names of your group members and the assignment number as a comment line at the top of the sketch.

Final Exam (25%)
The final exam will take place in each lab session during the week of December 2nd. The final exam will only cover SolidWorks material and you will be required to both make parts from drawings and to modify part files that you will download from the Google Drive.
Some of the problems will require you to adjust part dimensions based upon a code number on your exam sheets and you will be required to write down part volumes for some of the parts that you create.
You will need to submit the parts that you create as a single zipped folder. Please make sure that you are familiar with the process before sitting down for the exam.
In order to make sure that there are enough PC's for every student, please attend your scheduled lab session for the final exam.
I have uploaded to the Google Drive a collection of part drawings that you can use to test yourself.
SolidWorks T-shirts (Free)
I received 100 t-shirts from SolidWorks that I would like to distribute to the class. I have about 25 each of the sizes S, M, L, and XL.
I have create a Doodle Poll where you can request a shirt and specify the size. This is a "first-come, first serve" operation. The shirts will be given distributed to those "lucky" individuals during the final exam.
