i will join in your place. I am anyways lukha

[pulkit bansal]

thanx!! :)

[Dhruv Gupta]

but do update me on point allocation etc. If I am attending the meeting, then I should be able to represent the team properly.

Dhruv,
the details are:
VENUE: Girish Gaitonde Building, Electrical Engineering, Third Floor,
Room No 302.

TIME: 06:35 p.m. (18:35 hours)

It is MANDATORY that all Team Coordinators AND all Teaching Associates
be present.

be sure to attend it.;)

By the way I have no clue of how the pointer system works okay. Probably thats why I am perhaps still a 5pointer in EE.101 :P
So can you please put down the exact rules?

[Dhruv Gupta]

Basically the minutes of the last coordinators meet I suppose

[pulkit bansal]

approx. 1 hour

[Dhruv Gupta]

hahahahah
Not the duration!! :P
Minutes mean, the summary of the discussion. Whenever any official meeting is held, one person generally notes down all the things that were discussed and then notes are made, on the reasoning why something was done or not, what are the action items now(implies what actions to be taken) etc.

So I just want to know the final conclusions on what are the points associated with each submissions, lecture notes etc etc. Of course the reasons why they are so is not important.

Minutes of the last meeting are listed below. For better font, you can visit www.www.jinga-lala-huha-huha.com 

The main purpose of the meeting on Friday, 23.9.2011 was to discuss the administrative aspect 

of the tutorial component of the course - to explain the purpose and format 
of the tutorial activities. The following Sections 1, 2 comprise Minutes of the
Meeting. Sections 3 and 4 (in bold italics) below are additional directives from the Instructor. Refer
to the course Moodle Page if the font is not clearly visible in your email.

1. Industrial Enterprise Competition:


Each team has to form groups within it, each group consisting of a maximum 

of 3 members: thus one, two or three members. Each group has to choose an 
appliance, electrical or electronic product or any real life application 

of the concepts that we are learning or electromagnetic/ electronic 
concepts in general. This would give us an additional insight into the 

subject, as Electrical Engineering/ Electronics is best learnt by looking 
at its applications in everyday life.


Each group will study the working details of their products, particularly 

from the point of view of Electrical Engineering/ Electronics/ 
Electromagnetics. Students are not expected to understand every minute detail. 

eg. You do not have to explain in detail how a chip works. A broad 
appreciation of the application and the ideas going into it, will suffice. 

Each group will have to prepare a presentation which must include some 
details of how the application/ product works technically, how it is 

manufactured and any other relevant engineering/technological details. The 
team co-ordinators should take care, that there is diversity in the 

products manufactured by groups in the same team. Overlaps up to a 
reasonable extent are permissible across teams.

Team Coordinators shall inform the Teaching Associates of Groups and Products/
Topics of Study by Monday, 3 October 2011.


Evaluation:


All the groups will give their presentations towards the end of the 

course. The evaluation would be in two phases. The first phase includes 
presentation and evaluation in the tutorial sessions. Presentation of each 

group will be critically reviewed by the opposite team (other team sitting in 

the same class room). eg. All groups of Team 6 will be reviewed by team 5 
and team 5 can ask questions pertaining to the presentations made by the 

groups of team 6. Team 5 will then do a peer evaluation of all the groups 
of team 6. Subsequently, Teams 5 and 6 shall switch roles in the remaining 

half of the tutorial.


After the presentations made in the tutorials, 4 lectures at the end of 
the course will be devoted for presentation in the class (LCH 31). This is 

the second phase of the evaluation. Each lecture would accommodate 
presentations by two teams. Each team would get around 20 minutes. Each 

team would probably have 8-9 products. The team should pick 4 or maximum 5 products 

out of these products that they have. They should give a combined 
presentation comprising of these 4/5 products in the stipulated 20 

minutes. The team must identify who all, from among them would make the 

presentation.


The rest of the teams would carry out the peer evaluation of the team 
making the presentation. eg. At the time of presentation of team 1 in the 

lecture, all other teams (teams 2-team 8 in this case) would do the peer 
evaluation.


Important points:


1.1. The Instructor is NOT expecting that the product is actually built or 

manufactured - though a team is welcome, if it so wishes to use some 
actual exhibition of components/ systems. No expectation of that kind by

the Instructor/ TAs.


1.2. The weightage for this competition would be 20 marks (10% weight).


1.3. Although the competition follows peer evaluation, it would be 
moderated by the Instructor and the Teaching Associates, who would have 

the final say in evaluation.


2. Tutorial Point system:


The point system of the 'Electronnis game' ensures that every individual 

is participating in the regular Tutorial activities. It also gives every 
student a chance to earn some marks by work spread over the semester. 

Percentage Weight for this component: 30 marks (15 percent weight).


Points would be converted into marks for this 15 percent. There would be a 
threshold defined by the Instructor and TAs, in consultation with all team 

coordinators if required, above which all the students would get 30 marks. 
Below that, there would be slabs of points defining the equivalent marks 

of that range of points.

The tutorial points would be carefully maintained by the Team Coordinators 
and the Teaching Associates.

Hence, the tutorial activities together account for 50 marks (25% weight).

3. "Additional Effort' / Academic-Administrative Participation Points

Over and above the 50 marks for Tutorials, the Instructor would himself, maintain
the 'Coordinator Points ' (10 to each coordinator who does the job properly) and
the Challenging Problem/ Additional Effort Points (upto 4 points for each reasonable
attempt). These would be used to award marks out of 10 (5 percent weight)


4. Attendance Points:
The Instructor would, henceforth take attendance 5 times in the lectures 

randomly and award 2 marks to each student present. The attendance will be
sometimes for Computer Science and Engg, sometimes for Chemical Engg. 

This accounts for 10 marks (5 percent weight).
