Entire course will follow the Textbook. For the content of the course and the sections given below, refer to Chapters
and Sections in the Textbook. Teaching approach, order and sign conventions used will be those of the Textbook. All
solved examples in the Textbook, related to the sections included in the course, are to be considered as also solved on
the board in the classroom.
Term Tests: Two closed book term tests each of approximately 2 hours in duration will be given. Each test will cover
the material studied from the beginning of the course to that date.
Labs: There will be 2-hour-duration labs during the semester in every two weeks. For students who are repeating this
course their laboratory grades (out of 5) can be transferred to this semester per their written consent. For every
laboratory session, each student is expected to attend the lab, conduct the test, and fill out the necessary readings and
calculations to the laboratory booklet. After each laboratory session the booklets will be collected and graded
individually. The grades will be given on an “ACCEPTABLE” and “UNACCEPTABLE” basis. Best five grades out
of six will be included in the final grade; therefore, there will be no make-up for the missed labs.
Composition of the Final Mark: Labs (5%); 2 Term Tests (27.5% each); Final Examination (40 %). Furthermore,
students who collect less than average of 25 points from two term tests will be given NA grade and not permitted to
enter to the final exam. There will be only one makeup exam soon after the final exam and will cover any one of the
missed exams except for NA grades.
