Rules of the Game
Mid-Sem. Exam (30 Marks):
Mid Mid semester exam is compulsory
No makeup exam for mid-Sem exam.
End-Sem. Exam (60 Marks):
End End semester exam is compulsory.
Internal Assessment (10 Marks):
Class Attendance
Classroom Participation
Assignment
Final Grade is based on the total grade
In general, above 85% guarantees an AA grade and below
40% will result in an FF grade.
Rules of the Game Contd..
Homework Requirement:
Three Assignments will be given, with 2 to 3 problems per
assignment.
Homework grade is based on efforts rather than correctness.
Classroom Requirement:
Student coming late by 05 minutes will not be allowed in
class room.
No cell phone in classroom, put your cell phone on silent mode.
Discussion among the students will not be permitted.
