END-SEMESTER EXAMINATION

Tutorials There will be 13 tutorial hours in the semester. All tutorials will be scored in the class. Calculator is a must. Any
student without it cannot attend the tutorial. Bring your laptop for computational tutorials. The student has to solve the tutorials in
class. Programs must generate outputs for score.
Homeworks (20% marks) Each homework will be of 10 marks. There will be 4 homeworks in the semester. It has to be
compulsorily done individually. It can be discussed with the instructor in the office hours. All homeworks are due in the office hours.
All programming homeworks need to be run in front of the instructor to generate outputs. All written homeworks will be scrutinized
and cross-questioned on the spot. The student will be graded immediately. There is penalty of 2 marks (out of 10) for late submission.







Term Paper Presentation (10% marks)
There will be self-made 12 teams of 5 members each. Make your teams and inform the instructor by 9/9/2014. Create and excel file
with roll, Number, Name, CGPA. Team numbers will be provided by the instructor. One presentation per team and one 10-page report
per team, are due in the 3
