Use of Calculators in Final Exam: The Faculty of Engineering, Physical Sciences and Architecture (EPSA) has introduced a scheme for approving and labelling non-programmable calculators for use in examinations. This is to take effect from final exams of semester one 2008. This requirement will apply to the MATH1052 final examination, i.e. only calculators which are "EPSA Approved and Labelled" are allowed in the MATH1052 final examination.
Please obtain an "Approved Calculators" label for your calculator(s) from EPSA.
Please note the following dates:
- Friday May 9, 2008 - last day for requesting that an unlisted calculator be added to the list of approved calculators for semester one examinations.
- Monday May 19, 2008 to Friday June 20, 2008 - period during which approval labels will be available, for semester one examinations.
More details on the scheme can be found at http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/calculators, including the initial list of currently approved and non-approved calculators, and the procedure for having other calculators assessed for addition to the list of approved calculators.
