Nanotechnology Engineering Work-Term Reports
Work-term reports are technical documents that are written by students and are expected to reflect work accomplished during the corresponding work terms. They serve to provide students with experience in technical writing, and to prepare them for the types of communication that they will encounter most often as professional engineers.
Detailed information on work term reports, including deadlines and feedback process, can be found on the appropriate Learn site (NE WKRPT 200, 300 or 400). For formatting and content requirements please refer to the Nanotechnology Work-Term Report Guidelines.
The information provided here is only for the Nanotechnology Engineering work term reports 200, 300 and 400. For details on the NE 250, NE 350 and NE 450 courses refer to the appropriate Learn site or contact the Work-Term Report Coordinator.
When clearing a failed report, the due date is the second Friday of the term that you have selected to clear the failure. Refer to section Failed Reports for more information. Inform the AAUC and Work-Term Report Coordinator prior to the beginning of term in order to be added to the appropriate Learn site. A hardcopy is to be submitted to the AAUC by 3:30pm on the due date and an electronic copy must be submitted on Learn. Feedback will be provided.
Marking of reports
A new feedback process is being incorporated into the marking of work term reports starting Fall 2015.
New: Feedback
The amount of feedback provided will depend on the WKRPT term that the student is currently enrolled in. The appropriate Learn site (WKRPT 200, 300, or 400) will outline the feedback process. A copy of the original report and all marking form(s) must be submitted with the revised report.
Accepted for marking
A report that would have received an acceptable grade (depends on WKRPT term) after the initial assessment, will be moved directly to the formal marking stage of the process.
Improving reports
After the report receives an initial assessment, it must be corrected and a new printed and bound version of the report must be resubmitted at a time and date outlined on the appropriate Learn site. A copy of the original report and all marking form(s) must be submitted with the revised report. The revised report will be marked and a final grade given.
Resubmitting reports
Reports graded as Resubmit after the formal marking period, must be corrected and a new printed and bound version of the report must be resubmitted no later than 3:30pm on the last day of lectures. A copy of the original reports and all marking forms must be submitted with the revised report. The revised report will be marked and a final grade given. Reports that are late or that are not resubmitted in the specified term automatically receive a grade of Unacceptable (38%). Late resubmitted reports will be deemed to be new submissions and to have been submitted for consideration in the following term (see Rule 17).
Unacceptable reports
Reports graded as Unacceptable after the formal marking period, will receive a final grade of 38% for the specified term. A new or substantially revised report must be submitted in a subsequent term to clear the failed report.
