Dear C2 students,
Recently we have discovered a few of our students using a certain programme to generate the GC Reset Screen to give the impression that the memory of the graphic calculator (TI84 or TI84SE) has been reset when actually it has not. The act, intentional or unintentional, is a very serious breach of academic honesty and will result in a recording of a T grade for one or more subjects which involved the use of GC.
We certainly do not want to see our students committing such a serious offence during the GCE A-Level Examinations. In view of this incident, all students are to bring their GC for the math lecture and math tutors will physically do a GC Reset check. Please ensure that your GC is "resettable" using the 2, 8, ON procedure prior the math lecture (if your GC cannot be reset using 2, 8, ON, the problem may be you have not upgraded the GC OS to version 2.43 or later, and/or you need to change your GC battery).
Your name will be recorded if you did not bring your GC or your GC cannot be reset using 2, 8, ON during the math lecture. Thereafter, appropriate action(s) may be taken against you.
Math rep: this is your responsibility to make known to all your classmates of this EMB message.
Hope those who have worked hard for the Prelims will be duly rewarded....
Any enquiry or feedback, please direct to the response box below.
Thank you!
Regards,
Mr Lau
