Formative feedback
The marked copy of the take home assignments and close book quizzes will be returned to the
students during the interactive session. The solutions will be discussed during the session and
common errors made by the students will be pointed out. In addition, the key mathematical
concepts will be reemphasized. Student will be given ample opportunities to ask questions and
clear their doubts during interactive sessions. This will provide a thorough feedback to the
students on their performance in the course.

Learning and Teaching approach

Approach How does this approach support students in achieving the learning
outcomes?

Lectures  Imparting new mathematical knowledge to you

 Provide methods available to solve real life and research
mathematical problems
page 4
  Training you in analyzing and solving open ended problems

Tutorial  Provide opportunities for you to apply knowledge learnt to solving

mathematical problems
 Promote discussion and clarify key concepts taught in lectures
 Create a platform for you to interact and enhance the
understanding of the concepts learnt.

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
page 5
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.
