Formative feedback
Where appropriate, the marked copy of the assignment and quizzes will be returned to you during the
interactive session. The solutions will be discussed and common errors made by you will be pointed out. In
addition, the key mathematical concepts will be reemphasized. You will be given ample opportunities to ask
questions and clear your doubts during interactive sessions. This will provide a thorough feedback to you
on your performance in the course.

Course Policies and Student Responsibilities

General:
You are expected to complete all online activities and take all scheduled take home/online assignments and
quizzes by due dates. You are expected to take responsibility to follow up with course notes, assignments
and course related announcements. You are expected to participate in all interactive sessions.
Continuous assessments:
You are required to attend all continuous assessments.
Absenteeism:
Continuous assessments make up a significant portion of your course grade. Absence from continuous
assessments without officially approved leave will result in no marks and affect your overall course grade.

Academic Integrity
Good academic work depends on honesty and ethical behaviour. The quality of your work as a student
relies on adhering to the principles of academic integrity and to the NTU Honour Code, a set of values shared
by the whole university community. Truth, Trust and Justice are at the core of NTU’s shared values.
As a student, it is important that you recognize your responsibilities in understanding and applying the
principles of academic integrity in all the work you do at NTU. Not knowing what is involved in maintaining
academic integrity does not excuse academic dishonesty. You need to actively equip yourself with
strategies to avoid all forms of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, academic fraud, collusion and
cheating. If you are uncertain of the definitions of any of these terms, you should go to the academic
integrity website for more information. Consult your instructor(s) if you need any clarification about the
requirements of academic integrity in the course.

system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for
public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
d) Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and
research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis
of the information to provide valid conclusions.
e) Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern
engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an
understanding of the limitations
f) The engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal,

societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for the sustainable
development.
h) Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of
the engineering practice.
i) Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse
teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
j) Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering
community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports
and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
k) Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering
and management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to one’s own work, as a
member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
l) Life-long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in
