Administrative Instruction
Student Attendance is expected to be 100%, and minimum 80% (mandatory) attendance that is
required to sit in the final exams
Student must pay the attention for reading the textbooks chapter for course assessment
All the direct assessment tools i.e., Quizzes, Assignment, Midterms, Project and final Exams must
be attempted. Failure to attempt in any of the assessment tools without any medical reasons may
results to fail in that particular assessment. All quizzes would be taken together for all sections.
Students are advised to study the previous lecture before next class for better understanding.
Class participation is highly encouraged. It develops more interest. Students are also advised to
spare some time for group discussion with their classmates to explore new ideas.
Handouts and related notes will available on FES internet course portal.
For any query please contact instructor during office time.
