Engineering Tripos, Part IIB, and Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos, Part II, 1998: Notice

The Faculty Board of Engineering give notice that the examinations in 1998, for those modules of the Engineering Tripos, Part IIB, and the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos, Part II (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 288) taken in the Lent Term, will take the form set out in the table below.

 Each candidate is required to offer eight modules in total and to submit a project report.

 All modules will carry equal marks, whether assessed by written paper or by coursework, or by a combination of written paper and coursework. Where a module is assessed by written paper and coursework, the coursework will carry weight equal to one quarter of one module. In the exceptional case of a dissertation being submitted in place of a module, the dissertation will carry weight equal to one module. The project will carry weight equal to eight modules.

 For Modules B6 and B9 only, to be examined in the Lent Term, candidates may bring into the examination room notes on the module that they have written personally and any notes authorized for use by the module leader. This includes notes issued by the module lecturers. For the examination of Module C5, candidates may bring into the examination room the course text book as authorized by the module leader.

 Candidates should refer to the Notice on the use of calculators in examinations (Reporter, 1996-97, p. 922).
