4. RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOK
Mechanics of Materials F.P. Beer, E.R. Johnston, J.T. DeWolf, D.F. Mazurek, McGraw-Hill,
5th edition, ISBN 978-0-07-352938-7.
Tutorial sessions are scheduled every week starting January 17, 2011. Tutorial assignments
will be posted on the website in advance of the tutorial sessions (typically on Thursday
afternoon). Attendance at the tutorial sessions is strongly recommended, as graduate students
(GAs) will be there to assist. Students will complete the tutorial assignment and hand it in at
the end of the tutorial session for marking. One of the assigned problems will be randomly
selected for marking. Solutions to the tutorial problems will be posted on CLEW at the end of
the week.
Laboratories are scheduled during the tutorial sessions. On the dates when a laboratory is
scheduled, both the laboratory and the tutorial will take place simultaneously. Tutorial and
laboratory groups will be assigned sometime during the first two weeks of classes and
announced on CLEW. Students must attend their assigned lab section only. Students will
be asked to sign the sign-in sheet at the beginning of the lab section. Please be on time because
students who are late more than 15 minutes are not allowed to enter the lab.
A total of four (4) laboratories will take place during the semester (see page 7 for details).
Attendance in the laboratory is mandatory. Students failing in the laboratory portion of the
course must repeat the entire course irrespective of their overall performance. Students
repeating the course must repeat every component of the course including lectures,
laboratory and tutorial portions of the course, mid-term and final examinations.
The mid-term and final examinations are closed-book examinations: textbooks, tutorial
assignments, written or photocopied solutions, methods, explanations, procedures or notes of
any kind are NOT permitted.
If a student fails to attend the mid-term examination for a legitimate reason (e.g. medical,
family death etc.) then the percentage weight of the mid-term examination will be added to the
final examination percentage weight. If a student fails to attend the mid-term examination for
any other reason, he/she will be assigned a mark of zero for the mid-term examination.

The instructor reserves the right to modify all final marks before assigning letter grades.
Lab report: 25% deduction a week (1-7 days) after the due date, 50% deduction two weeks (8-
14 days) after the due date, no submission will be accepted after two weeks.
If the students provide a legitimate reason for late submission (e.g. illness), no deduction will
be applied.

Within each Lab section, students in Group A will attend the Lab in Essex Hall B40 during the first
1.5 hours and then attend the regular tutorial session during the second 1.5 hours. Students in Group B
will attend the tutorial session first and then the Lab. The tentative lab schedule is as follows:

Laboratory reports are due a week after the day of the assigned lab. Submit the reports to your
respective instructor during the regular lectures.
Note: students in Lab section 54 and in Lecture section 2 (i.e. who do not have any Deformable
Bodies lecture on Friday) are requested to:
a) submit the laboratory report one day before the due date (during the Wednesday lecture),
or
b) submit the laboratory report to Dr. Riahi during the Friday lecture at 13:30-14:20 at BB-
