[2024 S2 Teaching] ELEC3100: Fundamentals of Electromagnegtic Waves and Fields
Undergraduate course, The University of Queensland, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2024
In 2024 Semester 2, I’m lecturer of this third-year compulsory course (usually 150 students) and co-teach with senior colleagues (Prof. Aleksandar D. Rakić and Dr. Karl Bertling). See course profile
My teaching duties (12 teaching weeks + 1 swotvac week + …):
- deliver lectures (EM Potentials, Radiation, and Antenna) [2 hrs / wk],
- prepare weekly 6 new oral examination problems and solutions (offer on-site help) [4 hrs / wk],
- prepare and deliver weekly contact-hour session with 6 solved problems [1 hr / wk)],
- prepare final exam and supplementary exam problems, solutions, and step-by-step marking criteria,
- prepare and coodinate oral examination (tutorial) with tutors to update weekly marking progress,
- deal with posted questions on online Ed discussion boards (Q&A sessions) [> 5 hr / week].
Before that (2020 - 2023), I’m a teaching assistant on this course with teaching duties:
- examinig students for weekly one-to-one oral examination [4 hrs / wk],
- deliver weekly contact-hour session with 6 solved problems [1 hr / wk)],
- marking final exams,
- Help Dr. Karl Bertling to prepare weekly oral examination problems, final exam questions, and corresponding solutions.
