4. Method of Instruction
3 lecture hours per week
Active learning (involves the full participation of students)

This is fully the responsibility of the learner

For each practical session, the concerned sample problem is solved as

a demonstration
3 Practical hours per week
A list of problems are issued before each lab session
You are asked to write the programs for the given problems before
entering lab
Solutions must be checked and suggested ideas must be provided
by the instructor
Viva-voice as part of continuous assessment scheme
Implement mathematical & geometrical calculations
A group may not have more than 4 students
Recognize & evaluate individual contribution

10. Academic Honesty

Copying from any outside sources (e.g. Fellow students, and Internet, etc.) on any material to be
graded is not permitted, and will be considered cheating. Cheating will result in failure of the
assignment, failure of the class and/or face possible disciplinary action. Each of You is
responsible for securing his or her work from copying. Each of You is expected to abide by
5

college policies on academic conduct.

11. Due Date
All assignments must be turned in the class on the due date for full credit. No assignment will be
accepted after class on the due date. Failure of submission and presentation of the group
assignment will be awarded as zero out of 10 points.
12. Classroom Behavior
Anything that disturbs your instructor or your colleagues during the class period is considered a
troublesome behavior. Examples include: Using mobiles, making offensive remarks, sleeping,
working on assignments related to other courses, etc. troublesome behaviors are completely
prohibited.
