• Preparing for the assignment quizzes is the best way to do well in this course, as they
will be interspersed throughout the semester and you will have ample amount to
prepare IF you plan nicely.
• All the assessments (Heavy-weightage quizzes, Midterm and Final Exam) will be from
the book topics covered in the lectures. Hence, make sure that you read the book topics
thoroughly and NOT rely ONLY on the slides, which are made only to assist in lecturing.
• Quiz/Assignment date will be announced well in advance and hence it will not be
changed. Make sure to plan your other commitments accordingly as you will be given
ample amount of time to prepare for each quiz
• Please do not make the class noisy. As 4th year students, it is expected of you to act
maturely in the classes. You are allowed to go out of the class quietly if there is
something urgent that needs your attention.
