Content and material
Test One
Here is the cover sheet, to give you some idea of the topics covered.
Here is the
formulasheet.
Old tests (with solutions) are below.
The tests is 2020 were done during covid under unusual circumstances. I've included them here, but feel they aren't a great example of what you'll see.
Test Two
Details to appear here, we'll post a formula sheet and look to post a cover sheet as well.

Here are some complete exams (some without solutions):
Here are last years test and revision paper
Blackboard tests
A practice test will appear on blackboard (via the left-hand menu link or otherwise) closer to the assessment period.
Textbook
There is no textbook for Engr 123.
Detailed lecture notes will also be posted on the course homepages from week to week.
See the course outline for an overview.
To expand on the official assessment notes in the Course Outline, here is how your percentage mark is calculated, on which your final grade is based:
Assignments 25%, Labs 25%, Discrete Test 25% and Stats Test 25%. We will take the best 5 out of 6 assignments and the best 3 out of 4 labs.
In addition, there are two final (blackboard) tests, one for Discrete and one for Stats. Each of which can overwrite 5% of the associated sit-down test mark.

Videos Of Lectures
We record all lectures to video. To see videos of lectures, please follow the blackboard link in the menu to the left.
The Mathematics Help Desk is a good place]] to come and ask questions if you are having trouble understanding tutorial and/or assignment questions, or material covered in lectures or in your extended reading. You are welcome here any time.
Dr Howard Lukefahr will run evening workshops, details under the people section.
There is more help available from Vic's Student Support. They will help you with ENGR123, and they can also help advise on study habits and how to pass courses. Take a look at their website:

You may not be able to solve these problems initially, but we'll build up skills to make them accessible.
