Assessment

Courswork / Course requirements

There will be class lectures and it is encouraged that all students attend the lectures and participate actively to learn more about the course subject. There will be lab work during this course. All students will be required to submit the lab work report/assignment to appear in the final exam.

There will be two assignments in the course. It is mandatory for students to submit these assignments. No student will be allowed to sit in the final written exam, in case they do not submit the assignments.

Examination and assessment

There will be a written exam. 100 % Grade will be awarded on the basis of final written exam.

There will be compulsory lab exercises and students are required to submit the lab work report. These lab exercises will not have any grading, but will be mandatory to submit and pass to appear in the final exam.

A re-sit exam will be arranged for the students who will not pass the written exam.
