The aforementioned course utilizes the rubric as an assessment tool that clearly indicates achievement criteria across all the components of any kind of student work,
from written to oral to visual. It can be used for marking assignments, class participation, or overall grades. In the course engagement the following are judiciously
undertaken:

a) Students are regularly reminded on their submission to the relevant assignments (laboratory worksheets, reports, projects, simulation results and
circuit implementation outcomes.), grading system and other institutional policies.

b) Grading system adopts the 70% passing percentage policy of the university following the rubrics provided below. (This course is undertaken with
lecture and laboratory engagements)
