General
1. All students are expected to be seated before the class hour. Attendance
shall be taken during the 1st ten minutes of the class. Any one coming after
that without valid reasons can attend the class but will be marked absent
2. Students are strongly encouraged to work in groups and submit home
work in groups. Any student signing home work assignment but not able to
satisfy their teacher that (s)he understands the solution will be awarded
zero score on that assignment..
3. A 5-minites MCQ-type graded Home Assignment Quiz (HAQ) will be given
during the first 5 minutes of each to check if student had done their home
assignment prior to that class. A 10 minutes weakly descriptive quiz
based ion home work will be given during the lab.
4. Students are welcome to see me in my office anytime with or without an
appointment.
