==Background==

External examination of exams and assessment is an important aspect of quality assurance at the University of Pretoria.
The [[Media:External_process_paper_20200630.pdf|external examination process form]]
documents the process for each exam paper.

One form will be filled in for each paper, and the process documented below will be followed for at least an exam paper,
probably for a supplementery exam and in some cases for a special exam.

==Process==

'''First time you present a module''': Download the blank form and adjust it
to reflect your module code and full module name, in addition to the
outcomes as in your study manual.

'''As soon as the external examiner is decided''': Update the form to reflect
the new details and save as a template form. At this point, save the
form under another name with the details filled in. You will use this
saved version as the base for the rest of the semester.

The following process is now followed once for each paper:

'''Before the exam is written''': Send a copy of the exam paper and memorandum to
the external examiner, along with the questions in Section A of the
form. The external examiner checks the paper and responds to the
questions.

'''After the exam is written''': The internal examiner marks the papers and
communicates the exam statistics (Section B) to the external examiner
along with a class list containing the marks obtained (see [[Calculating Marks]]) for each student.
If possible, all the papers are made available to the external examiner.
Otherwise, the external examiner selects the larger of 10% or 10 papers to moderate from the class list. These selected papers must contain a similar number of good (distinction),
average (around the paper average) and bad (fail mark) papers. The external examiner is presented
with the questions in Section C of the form. Based on their
recommendations, changes may be reflected in Section B.

'''At the end of the semester''': The head of the department is presented with
the form and corroborating information (for instance e-mails or
signatures) that the process has been followed as described. The
internal examiner and the head of the department fill in Section D of
the form.

==Software==
The form is a fillable PDF form. You will need the '''full version''' of [http://www.adobe.com/acrobat Acrobat], or [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Foxit Reader] to fill in the forms. If you are using Foxit, click the "Highlight fields" checkbox at the top of the screen to see where to fill in fields.

Tea Club

2020-01-24T09:42:19Z

Alchemyst: /* Fees and payment */

On the Main Campus the departmental tea club meets from 09:00 - 09:30 for coffee/tea in the tea room between floors 7 and 8 in Engineering I.

The club maintains a grind-on-demand coffee machine. Instant coffee, tea bags, milk & sugar and boiling water are available in the tea room as well as a microwave oven where you can heat up your lunch.

You must provide your own cup and cutlery (which after use must be washed and stored on the rack on its allocated peg by yourself). Lunch is approximately 12:30 - 13:30. The facility is kept tidy by the club members according to the principle "If you spill, you clean".

== Committee ==

As of 2018, The current chair of the Tea Club is Dawie van Vuuren and the secretary/treasurer is Carl Sandrock.

== Fees and payment ==

The fee for 2020 is R 1000. Fees can be payed at the CSC or via EFT using the University [[Bank details]]. The cost centre number is A0Y228 and the account number is 32600, which means your reference if doing an EFT must be "A0Y228/32600".

Since your reference cannot be used to connect the payment to a person you need to fill in [https://goo.gl/forms/hn0nhKeAQSUbBA6k2 this form] where you can attach your POP. '''You have not completed payment until you have filled in this form'''.

Calculating Marks

2019-10-07T15:08:05Z

Alchemyst: /* Codes */

[[Category: Workflow]]
See [[ClickUP Grade Calculations]] for tips and tricks about calculation on ClickUP.

== Final marks ==
Remember that you need to follow the [[Undergraduate external]] process while doing the marks.

=== Rounding ===
Make sure that you round the semester mark, the exam mark and the final mark and rework with integer percentages (avoid the use of the Excel Percentage type, as this hides some common errors). Use <pre>round(mark/total*100, 0)</pre>

=== Borderline Cases ===

(From [https://www.up.ac.za/en/yearbooks/2018/EBIT-faculty/rules/Faculty%20Rules the 2018 yearbook])

Please note: In the School of Engineering, borderline cases (e.g. a mark of 49% or 74%) must be reconsidered by both the internal and external examiners, for determination of the possible merit of an upward adjustment of the mark. Marks may not be adjusted downwards, except when obvious marking and adding errors were detected. The pass mark is a minimum final mark of 50% and a student fails the module if a lower mark (e.g. 49%) was obtained.

=== Supplementary exams ===
Always check the [http://www.up.ac.za/yearbooks/home relevant yearbook]. The following description is from the [https://www.up.ac.za/en/yearbooks/2018/EBIT-faculty/rules/Faculty%20Rules 2018 rules and regulations for EBIT].

In the School of Engineering a supplementary examination is only granted in
instances where:
# A final mark of between 45% and 49% was achieved;
# A final mark of between 40% and 44% was achieved and where the candidate also achieved either a semester mark or an examination mark of 50% or higher;
# A pass mark has been obtained, but the required subminimum in the examination section of the module or divisions thereof has not been obtained. ''Note that in this case the final mark must be reported as 992 as shown in the table of codes below''
# A final mark of between 40% and 49% has been obtained in first-year modules in the first semester.

In most cases the third point above translates to simple rule that a supp must be awarded if the final mark is a pass mark but the exam mark is less than 40.

This is summarised in the following picture (assuming the exam and semester marks count 50% each toward the final mark):

[[File:suparea.png]]

The following VBA function can be used to do the calculation in Excel:
<pre>
function engineeringstatus(semester as integer, exam as integer, final as integer) as string
' Criteria for assessing supplementary exams, according to engineering yearbook 2015
' Author: Carl Sandrock
if final < 40 then
engineeringstatus = "Fail"
elseif final < 45 then
if semester >= 50 or exam >= 50 then
engineeringstatus = "Supp"
else
engineeringstatus = "Fail"
end if
elseif final < 50 or exam < 40 then
engineeringstatus = "Supp"
else
engineeringstatus = "Pass"
end if
end function
</pre>

This is equivalent to the following formula (fill in the correct cells in semester, exam and final)
<pre>
=if(final<40, "Fail", if(final<45, if(or(semester>=50, exam>=50), "Supp", "Fail"), if(or(final<50, exam<40), "Supp", "Pass")))
</pre>

==== Calculation of the final supplementary examination mark ====
# The semester mark is retained and the final mark is calculated as the weighted average of the supplementary examination mark and the semester mark, in accordance with the formula as published in the study manual of the specific module, with the proviso that the maximum final mark awarded may be no more than 50%. The only exception to this rule is in the case of first-year modules on first-semester level, where the semester mark is not considered, and where the supplementary examination mark is taken as the final mark, with the proviso that the maximum final mark awarded may be no more than 50%.
# All other pass requirements, as published in the study manual of each specific module, remain so and are applicable during the determination of the final result of a supplementary examination in the module.

== Codes ==
Several codes are used to communicate special status in the Excel file that Admin expects to get from you after you have calculated the marks.

Note that 987 is used to indicate absence. It is entered in all three columns if there is no semester mark for the student or in the Exam and Final if the student didn't show up for the exam. Admin will add a code 994 on their side if an Aegrotat exam is awarded.

The "subminimum" entry 992 is entered instead of a final mark in the case where a student has obtained a mark higher than 50 % for their Final mark but less than 40 % for their exam mark (see the figure above).

{|
! !! Semester !! Examination !! Final !! Remark
|-
| Examination refusal || Mark || 988 || 988
|-
| Unknown || 987 || 987 || 987
|-
| Absent from exam || Mark || 987 || 987
|-
| Supplementary || Mark || Mark || Mark || 999
|-
| Subminimum || Mark || Mark || 992(only if above 50%) || 999
|-
| Promote(only School of IT) || Mark || 973 || 973
|-
| Only postgraduate:

Version Control

2019-04-05T06:05:34Z

Alchemyst:

=== Description ===

Version control is used to manage multiple versions of a number files during a project and exchange changes between collaborators.

=== Git ===
Git has become the de facto version control tool.

This [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6gx4Cwl9DGAKWClAD_iKpNC0bGHxGhcx video series] is an excellent place to start learning about installing and using Git.

=== Github ===

We store all our repositories on [https://github.com/ GitHub], please create an account.

==== Proxy configuration ====
In order to be able to use GitHub through the [[Campus Proxy Servers]], you may need to set up the proxy from the commandline:

1. Issue the following command:
git config --global http.proxy "http://firewallusername:firewallpassword@cache.up.ac.za:8080"
2. Use the https links for your project rather than the ssh link. You may be prompted for a password - this is your github password. If you don't like typing it every time, just use a similar format as above for your repository access.

2019-03-29T01:48:17Z

Alchemyst:

===Data normalisation===
You will make your life a lot easier by using a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization normalised] structure for your data, whether you are using a spreadsheet or an actual database for storing them.

[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00031305.2017.1375989 This article] contains some excellent rules for data in spreadsheets.

===Error bars===
It is common to see error bars and averages on experimental results. When you have a small number of data, rather plot them. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2064100/ this article explains the use of error bars]. Points to note:
* '''Rule 1''' when showing error bars, always describe in the figure legends what they are.
* "... for such low values of n [as n=3], it is better to simply plot the data points rather than showing error bars, as we have done here for illustrative purposes"

[http://emdbolker.wikidot.com/blog:dynamite This article] expands on the problems of plotting means and error bars instead of the data.

Alchemyst:

== Python ==
Python is a popular scripting language. It is on the top 5 of the [http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html TIOBE index], and is very popular in scientific computing, in some fields more popular than commercial platforms like Matlab or Mathematica.

=== Installation ===

* The MPR module uses [https://www.continuum.io/downloads Anaconda]. This is a distribution which supplies a full scientific programming environment. There is a local mirror of that [http://ftp.ee.up.ac.za/pub/windows/python/ here]. Use Anaconda3.
* For "serious" programming in Python, we recommend [https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/ PyCharm] as an IDE. You can get an academic license with your UP e-mail address.

==== Python 2 vs Python 3 ====

Python 3 came out in 2008. Python 2 will have no support past 2020. Use the new one (Python 3), not the old one.

=== Scientific computing ===

Numeric calculations are done using the [http://numpy.scipy.org/ NumPy] or [http://www.scipy.org/ SciPy] modules. [http://www.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users Here]
is a handy starting point for someone used to Matlab/Octave to get into
NumpPy/Scipy.

* [http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/matlab-numpy.html Numpy/SciPy for Matlab/Octave users]. Like a Rosetta stone.
* [http://www.scipy-lectures.org/ More detailed SciPy lectures]

Plotting is done using the [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ matplotlib] library. The website contains

T12 & T13 Ball On Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (BOCLE) & Scuffing Load - Ball On Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (SL-BOCLE)

2018-12-09T13:05:26Z

Alchemyst: /* Current/Previous projects */

[[File:IMG 4455.JPG|400px|Right|thumb|BOCLE(Left) & SL-BOCLE(Right)]]

Both the Ball On Cylinder Lubricity Evaluator (BOCLE) and the Scuffing Load - Ball On Cylinder
Lubricity Evaluator (SL-BOCLE) work on the principle of testing the lubricity of a fuel/lubricant. A non-rotating
ball is forced against a rotating cylinder. The cylinder is partially immersed in a bath of the fuel to
allow the fuel to be constantly carried to the area of contact.

The BOCLE & SL-BOCLE machines operate on much the same principals. They are nearly identically
constructed. They differ in: 
1) The types of fuels they typically test. 
2) The qualifying parameters and test methods (See ASTM link below). 
3) The maximum load they can carry. 
 

The BOCLE is a wear test. A microscope and camera is used to quantify the size of the wear scar and record the appearance.

The SL-BOCLE is a load carrying capacity test. A series of loads are applied until a sudden
change in the friction coefficient is observed (higher than 0.175). This load is used to characterize
the lubricity behaviour of the fluid. 
Note:the suggested loading sequence is in the operating manual.

[[File:IMG 4440.JPG|400px|right|thumb|Ball,Ring & Bath]]

In this Table some basic differences are presented:

[[File:BOCLE table 2.jpg]]

Both units are operated via a simulink interfaces found on the PC next to the units (Univ PC nr: 766118).

== History of this Equipment ==
The equipment was recieved from Sasol in 2012 after being used there for a period of time.
The equipment was conntected to the OPTO 22 network in 2012 by Jacques Langenhoven to allow data
logging and control through the lab network and OPTO system.

However after series of renovations in the Tribology lab over a space of 5 years (2012-2017), the instruments fell out of use.
They became redundant and several parts and wiring were lost or no longer functional.
In 2017 much work was done by Andrew Sakyi to reinstate both machines into good working conditions and communication to the OPTO system was established.

Alchemyst: /* Background */

[[Category: Workflow]] [[Category:YearlyUpdate]]

==Background==

External examination of exams and assessment is an important aspect of quality assurance at the University of Pretoria.
The [[Media:External_process_paper_20181203.pdf|external examination process form]]
documents the process for each exam paper.

One form will be filled in for each paper, and the process documented below will be followed for at least an exam paper,
probably for a supplementery exam and in some cases for a special exam.

==Process==

'''First time you present a module''': Download the blank form and adjust it
to reflect your module code and full module name, in addition to the
outcomes as in your study manual.

'''As soon as the external examiner is decided''': Update the form to reflect
the new details and save as a template form. At this point, save the
form under another name with the details filled in. You will use this
saved version as the base for the rest of the semester.

The following process is now followed once for each paper:

'''Before the exam is written''': Send a copy of the exam paper and memorandum to
the external examiner, along with the questions in Section A of the
form. The external examiner checks the paper and responds to the
questions.

'''After the exam is written''': The internal examiner marks the papers and
communicates the exam statistics (Section B) to the external examiner
along with a class list containing the marks obtained (see [[Calculating Marks]]) for each student.
If possible, all the papers are made available to the external examiner.
Otherwise, the external examiner selects the larger of 10% or 10 papers to moderate from the class list. These selected papers must contain a similar number of good (distinction),
average (around the paper average) and bad (fail mark) papers. The external examiner is presented
with the questions in Section C of the form. Based on their
recommendations, changes may be reflected in Section B.

'''At the end of the semester''': The head of the department is presented with
the form and corroborating information (for instance e-mails or
signatures) that the process has been followed as described. The
internal examiner and the head of the department fill in Section D of
the form.

==Software==
The form is a fillable PDF form. You will need the '''full version''' of [http://www.adobe.com/acrobat Acrobat], or [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Foxit Reader] to fill in the forms. If you are using Foxit, click the "Highlight fields" checkbox at the top of the screen to see where to fill in fields.

(quoted from e-mail)

Due to the high demand in travel and related services, including the need for coordinating workshops and conferences as a package deal, a decision was made to appoint four TMCs through an open tender process to service the University’s comprehensive travel requirements.

A rigorous tender process for travel management services was undertaken by the University and the final outcome of the tender evaluation and award has been finalised. The following four (4) TMCs have been approved as the preferred service providers for all travel and related requirements with travel lodge cards issued to facilitate payment for services on behalf of the University:

# Atlantis Corporate Travel
# Tourvest Travel Services
# Travel with Flair
# Sure Glenwood Travel

Contracts and Service Level Agreements with all four service providers have been concluded (effective 1 July 2016) for the various services offered (see UP Intranet for fees charged by the various TMCs).

Given that four TMCs have been appointed, no other TMC will be considered for approval by the University.

This is the process that should be followed when attending a conference. For relevant forms that must be filled in to request funding are located on on P:\Admin\Conferences (see [[Map network drives]]).

See the UP documentation [http://www.up.ac.za/services/finance/docs/engels/R5991eng.html here]

In 2016 the University standardised on four [[Travel Management Companies]] (TMCs) - you must use these for your travel arrangements if you want to be reimbursed.

==Before==
# Obtain an invitation letter or a program from the conference organisers showing that you will be presenting at the conference.
# If you want to apply for funding from the dean, fill in the forms on the P drive, referring to the "Checklist for financial support".
# Print out a copy of the paper you will be presenting
# Organize flights, get a quote from [mailto:cathy@glenwoodtravel.co.za Cathy] at Glenwood Travel

==During==
Make sure that you obtain the relevant information from the conference organisers, with a view on DOE
credit for the paper presented - this is what the RIS checklist is for

==After==
# Write a short summary about the conference and send it to all the staf members
# Fill out the [http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=8966 information for RIS]

Alchemyst: Add link to bank details

On the Main Campus the departmental tea club meets from 09:20 - 09:30 for coffee/tea in the tea room between floors 7 and 8 in Engineering I.

The club maintains a grind-on-demand coffee machine. Instant coffee, tea bags, milk & sugar and boiling water are available in the tea room as well as a microwave oven where you can heat up your lunch.

You must provide your own cup and cutlery (which after use must be washed and stored on the rack on its allocated peg by yourself). Lunch is approximately 12:30 - 13:30. The facility is kept tidy by the club members according to the principle "If you spill, you clean".

The current chair of the Tea Club is Carl Sandrock. Fees are R 960 per year.

Fees can be payed at the CSC or via EFT using the University [[Bank details]]. The cost centre number is A0Y228 and the account number is 32600.

== Particle Size Analysis ==
=== General Information ===
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_size_analysis Particle Size Analysis] (PSA) is an important technique to measure the size or solid or liquid particles. There are several technical procedures, or laboratory techniques to determiner the particle size of a sample. We have access to a [https://www.malvernpanalytical.com/en Malvern] [https://www.malvernpanalytical.com/en/products/product-range/mastersizer-range/mastersizer-3000 Mastersizer 3000] and a [https://www.malvernpanalytical.com/en Malvern] [https://www.malvernpanalytical.com/en/products/product-range/zetasizer-range/zetasizer-nano-range/zetasizer-nano-z Zetasizer Nano Z]. The Zetasizer can also calculate the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_potential zeta potential] of a colloidal dispersion.

=== Equipment Custodian===
* The equipment custodian for the Mastersizer is [http://www.up.ac.za/en/chemical-engineering/article/1913251/dr-fjwj-labuschagne Prof. Johan Labuschagne]
* The equipment custodian for the Zetasizer is [http://www.up.ac.za/en/chemical-engineering/article/2386706/prof-ndeke-musee Prof Ndeke Musee]

=== Location ===


=== Booking ===
All equipment must be booked before use. An Analysis and Booking Form must be completed prior to analysis of samples. The latest version of this form can be downloaded [http://chemeng.up.ac.za/wiki/images/f/fb/Sample_Analysis_Booking_Form.pdf here].

Brenda Barnard (email: u14037948@tuks.co.za; cell no: 082 399 1105) will be responsible for bookings and running samples. Please contact her for bookings and sample analysis. Please remember to include a valid cost center number on the form for costs.

=== Charges ===
Unless otherwise agreed upon, the above sample test work is billed at R70 per test for internal users if the sample is tested by the Requester (and the Requester is fully trained to use the machine), and R300 per test if the sample is tested for the Requester. External users from outside of the University of Pretoria will be billed at R600 ex VAT per test.

Calculating Marks

2018-07-12T07:37:27Z

Alchemyst: /* Supplementary exams */ Update to 2018

[[Category: Workflow]]
See [[ClickUP Grade Calculations]] for tips and tricks about calculation on ClickUP.

== Final marks ==
Remember that you need to follow the [[Undergraduate external]] process while doing the marks.

=== Rounding ===
Make sure that you round the semester mark, the exam mark and the final mark and rework with integer percentages (avoid the use of the Excel Percentage type, as this hides some common errors). Use <pre>round(mark/total*100, 0)</pre>

=== Borderline Cases ===

(From [https://www.up.ac.za/en/yearbooks/2018/EBIT-faculty/rules/Faculty%20Rules the 2018 yearbook])

Please note: In the School of Engineering, borderline cases (e.g. a mark of 49% or 74%) must be reconsidered by both the internal and external examiners, for determination of the possible merit of an upward adjustment of the mark. Marks may not be adjusted downwards, except when obvious marking and adding errors were detected. The pass mark is a minimum final mark of 50% and a student fails the module if a lower mark (e.g. 49%) was obtained.

=== Supplementary exams ===
Always check the [http://www.up.ac.za/yearbooks/home relevant yearbook]. The following description is from the [https://www.up.ac.za/en/yearbooks/2018/EBIT-faculty/rules/Faculty%20Rules 2018 rules and regulations for EBIT].

In the School of Engineering a supplementary examination is only granted in
instances where:
# A final mark of between 45% and 49% was achieved;
# A final mark of between 40% and 44% was achieved and where the candidate also achieved either a semester mark or an examination mark of 50% or higher;
# A pass mark has been obtained, but the required subminimum in the examination section of the module or divisions thereof has not been obtained. ''Note that in this case the final mark must be reported as 992 as shown in the table of codes below''
# A final mark of between 40% and 49% has been obtained in first-year modules in the first semester.

In most cases the third point above translates to simple rule that a supp must be awarded if the final mark is a pass mark but the exam mark is less than 40.

This is summarised in the following picture (assuming the exam and semester marks count 50% each toward the final mark):

[[File:suparea.png]]

The following VBA function can be used to do the calculation in Excel:
<pre>
function engineeringstatus(semester as integer, exam as integer, final as integer) as string
' Criteria for assessing supplementary exams, according to engineering yearbook 2015
' Author: Carl Sandrock
if final < 40 then
engineeringstatus = "Fail"
elseif final < 45 then
if semester >= 50 or exam >= 50 then
engineeringstatus = "Supp"
else
engineeringstatus = "Fail"
end if
elseif final < 50 or exam < 40 then
engineeringstatus = "Supp"
else
engineeringstatus = "Pass"
end if
end function
</pre>

This is equivalent to the following formula (fill in the correct cells in semester, exam and final)
<pre>
=if(final<40, "Fail", if(final<45, if(or(semester>=50, exam>=50), "Supp", "Fail"), if(or(final<50, exam<40), "Supp", "Pass")))
</pre>

==== Calculation of the final supplementary examination mark ====
# The semester mark is retained and the final mark is calculated as the weighted average of the supplementary examination mark and the semester mark, in accordance with the formula as published in the study manual of the specific module, with the proviso that the maximum final mark awarded may be no more than 50%. The only exception to this rule is in the case of first-year modules on first-semester level, where the semester mark is not considered, and where the supplementary examination mark is taken as the final mark, with the proviso that the maximum final mark awarded may be no more than 50%.
# All other pass requirements, as published in the study manual of each specific module, remain so and are applicable during the determination of the final result of a supplementary examination in the module.

== Codes ==
Several codes are used to communicate special status in the Excel file that Admin expects to get from you after you have calculated the marks.
{|
! !! Semester !! Examination !! Final !! Remark
|-
| Examination refusal || Mark || 988 || 988
|-
