9. Email
For all emails regarding the course, start your subject with MIE100 - .
Example: MIE 100 - Problems with Mastering Engineering
For all administrative queries, such as problems with MasteringEngineering, re-marks on your
quiz or midterm test: email mie100-admin@mie.utoronto.ca
For questions regarding technical course material, you can email your tutorial section TAs
(names posted on BlackBoard), or see any one of the instructors or TAs during office hours.

10. Blackboard website

The course website can be found through the portal at portal.utoronto.ca
The course website will have available: contact information for your instructor and teaching
assistants; some extra (not graded) problems and their solutions; midterm room assignments;
details on the course outline and any announcements made in class. It will also have your
midterm grades listed. Students will be responsible for checking the course website to ensure
that midterm grades have been recorded accurately.

11. Online assignments

This course requires the completion of weekly assignments. These will be accessible (and
answers submitted) through the MasteringEngineering website.
URL: http://www.masteringengineering.com/
At the start of the term, use the instructions which are on page 5 of this handout to register for
our course: The course ID is: MEEAVES01620
(in one word, no spaces)
Be sure to use your proper UofT registration name and include your student number during
the registration process.
After you complete the initial registration, you should spend a few minutes with the Introduction
to Mastering Engineering assignment. This will give you an introduction to the syntax and
procedures necessary to enter problem answers. It will not be counted toward your grade and
will be available all term should you need to refer back.
Each Wednesday morning, starting January 6th 2016, there will be a list of assigned problems,
which must be solved and submitted on-line by the following Tuesday evening at 5 p.m. These
problems will generate a different set of input data for each student and so copying from each
other will not work, but you are encouraged to work with your friends and TAs (see tutorial
information below) to fully understand the problem; this should then allow you to complete your
individual calculations. You will be given up to 5 chances to submit the correct answer for each
problem. This should give you sufficient opportunity to correct any small calculation errors and
will be a good inspiration for thorough checking.

If you must miss an assignment for any legitimate reason, a petition and supporting documents
must be submitted to the First-Year Office.

At every tutorial, an old quiz or midterm or exam question will be distributed and students will
have some time to work on it alone. This is intended to give you lots of practice under exam/testlike conditions. After this initial exercise, you will be free to continue working on the problem
with your classmates and the TAs will be there to help. If there is a clarification needed for a
large number of students, a TA will give a small presentation. Halfway into the tutorial, all
students should have a firm grasp of the exam question and its solution.
Thereafter, the tutorial will be a work session for your assignments. Although answers must be
submitted on-line, dynamics problems are best solved with a pencil and paper. You should bring
a copy of your assignment to the tutorial (or a copy of the problems you are having difficulty
with) where you will be free to work with your friends and get individual help from the TAs.
Finally, the tutorial will serve as a time to get help with posted weekly suggested problems as
well. The print version of the assignments will be enabled on the MasteringEngineering website.
Please stick to your assigned tutorial section. You should get to know your TAs and desks are
limited in all sections.
Your TAs will provide you with their email addresses during the tutorials. These will also be
posted on BlackBoard.
13. Petitions for term course work
Petitions for special consideration for term work (quiz, mid-term test, or weekly assignments)
must be submitted directly to the First-Year Office. Do not submit them to your TA or instructor.
14. Office hours
Office hours for instructors are on page 1 of this handout. You can also e-mail TAs or
instructors for guidance, although face-to-face assistance is probably a better way to give a
pictorial view of a Dynamics problem.
