General Policies of the Instructor

Academic Offenses: The students and faculty are jointly responsible for the academic standards and
reputation of the university. It is well recognized that intellectual honesty is the basic requirement for
development and acquisition of knowledge. Intellectual honesty is a pre-requisite for continued
membership in the university community.
Forms of intellectual dishonesty are plagiarism, cheating in examinations, aiding and abetting
cheating, and the use of assignment prepared by others, impersonation of another student at an
examination, misrepresentation of information, falsification of academic records, and unruly behavior
with the instructor.
If a student is detected by the instructor in committing an academic offense, it may result in an "F"
grade for the course or even dismissal of the student from the university.

Dress and Behavior Code: All students must strictly follow the Dress and Behavior Code (DBC) of
IUBAT. The student not following proper dress code will be warned first and habitual DBC breaker
may be denied entry/ ejected from the classroom and thus will be counted as absent.

First Term and Mid-term Exam: First Term and Mid-term Exams will be held in the class on
scheduled/announced dates. The scheduled dates of the first term and mid-term exams would not be
changed under any circumstances. All topics covered until the end of the week before the exam will
be included. Different sets of question papers having an equal level of difficulty and standard will be
set. These question paper will include both subjective and objective type questions.
Marked exam scripts of the first term and mid-term exam will be returned to the students during the
class (usually next week after the exam). [If any student is unable to collect his/her script on that day
due to absence, he/she must collect it within one week from the instructor's room. After one (1) week,
the instructor will not be responsible for the loss of the script]. In case of online class period, there
will be viva exam for assessment.

Missed Exam: There will be no make-up exam if anyone intentionally misses first and midterm
exam without any valid and legitimate reason. Absence in the exams will be regarded as absent and
Zero (0) marks will be applied. Notifying the instructor before the exam is a must if a student misses
any exam for reasons beyond his/her control. „I‟ grade will not be given without any prior notification
to the instructor. In extreme circumstances, if the student cannot inform earlier, he/she must inform
the instructor within three (3) days of the exam.

Final Exam: Final exam will cover the entire course syllabus. The exam will be all-inclusive at a
location and time determined by the university. In case of online class period, there will be viva exam
for assessment. The final examination is for evaluation purposes only, and the exam scripts will not
be returned to the students for review after it is marked. The final exam question paper will include
subjective type questions only.
Creativity will not be suppressed. Writing in your own words is definitely welcomed as long as the
provided information is scientifically correct, grammatically sound, and to the point.
No extra marks will be given for what was not asked in the question paper. Marks will be deducted
for wrong scientific units. No partial marks will be given for the following cases:
a. Misspellings of engineering terms, contributor‟s name or universally accepted nomenclature
b. Wrong formula and invalid solution processes/steps of mathematical problems
c. Unintelligible writing (not understandable), sentence does not make any sense, off-topic
writing (not relevant to the topic)

Review of the marks: Appeals for reviewing marks of the first term and mid-term exams must be
made within 24 hours (1) day from the day of supplying answer scripts even through e-mail. After
submission of grades in the university automation server, any appeal for reviewing marks will be
rejected. Student can apply through the registry for final grade review if the student is not satisfied
with his/her final grade.

Online Class Participation: All students are expected to actively participate in the online class for
ensuring effective and interactive teaching-learning process. Class participation includes asking
questions, expressing ideas, contributing to the discussion and giving insightful comments relevant to
the topic. It is also further expected that students will adequately prepare themselves by studying the
topic beforehand the scheduled classes and they will participate in them when appropriate. Another
way of participating in the class is to play the role of convener, rapporteur, course leader and
participants. Students should follow the instructor‟s briefing in this regard.

In-class Exercises: Students are expected to follow the instructions attentively and thoroughly
understand the solution process of a discussed mathematical problem. A similar mathematical
problem will be provided to the students for solving in the class within a prescribed time. Discussions
are allowed. Students will show the answer to the instructor after solving.
Unannounced Quizzes: An unannounced quiz will be either an oral exam on previously discussed
topic or an open book exam. Students are therefore advised to always bring at least five blank pages
with them and text book in the class.

Homework assignments: Adherence to academic integrity and professionalism is very important

during assignment preparation. „Problem Sets‟ containing mathematical problems and critical
thinking problems will be provided in the class. Homework Assignments will include these problems
along with some subjective questions. All students are expected to complete their assignments in a
timely manner and submit it within the announced due date. Unprofessionally prepared submissions
(for example, quick copying from another student‟s assignment in the class, submission in a torn
piece of paper etc.) will not be accepted and grade will be “F”. A homework assignment may be
handwritten or typed. Hand drawings and writings are acceptable as long as they look neat and
professional. However, homework assignments on design problems should be prepared on
engineering paper using pencil and the work should be neat, complete, and logically arranged.
While group discussions are encouraged and collaboration on homework assignments is permitted,
each assignment submitted must represent essentially student‟s own work. Submitted work that is
copied from peers will be subjected to severe penalization, grade will be “F” and mark will be zero
(0).

„I‟ Grade Policy: The instructor cannot assign „I' Grade on the basis of any irrational request or
excuse made by a student. The grade “I” (Incomplete grade) may be assigned by the instructor at the
end of the semester to designate incomplete work in a course. It should be used only when a student
is unable to complete requirements of the course because of illness, hardship or death in the
immediate family. Incomplete (I) will only be given if the student has already substantially completed
the major requirements of the course such as required attendance, satisfactory class participation,
assignment completion, taking the quiz, and obtaining of the good grade in the first and mid-term
exams. The grade “I” must be removed as soon as possible but no later than 3 weeks from the
beginning of the next semester. At the end of deadline the faculty must submit the final grade or this
is automatically converted into “F” grade.

Attendance policy: Attendance to all lectures is mandatory. An instructor may assign a final grade of
“F” in the course to a student who fails to meet the requirements. Only three absences in a course
with acceptable reasons may be excused by the instructor in a semester. Permission of the Dean is
required to remain absent in three or more consecutive classes for reasons beyond control (eg. illness,
hardship or death in the immediate family) of the student. Any student remaining absent in any class
of a course without permission will be served with a notice of warning. Unexcused absences will lead
to reduced course grade, suspension from the course or dismissal of the student from the course.

Lecture Notes and Handouts: Lecture notes and PowerPoint slides made by the instructor will not
be supplied to the students. But for the online activity this policy could be flexible according to the
teacher‟s instruction. Students are expected to study the textbook for developing in-depth
understanding of the topic. Students may additionally follow reference texts along with any credible

Bloom's Taxonomy Indicators
The Cognitive Domain
C1-Remembering: Recall or retrieve previous learned information.
C2-Understanding: Comprehending the meaning, translation, interpolation, and interpretation of instructions and
problems. State a problem in one's own words.
C3-Applying: Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction. Applies what was learned in the
classroom into novel situations in the work place.
C4-Analyzing: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational structure may be
understood. Distinguishes between facts and inferences.
C5-Evaluating: Make judgments about the value of ideas or materials.
C6-Creating: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole, with emphasis
on creating a new meaning or structure.

The Affective Domain

A1-Receiving Phenomena: Awareness, willingness to hear, selected attention.
A2-Responds to Phenomena: Active participation on the part of the learners. Attend and react to a particular
phenomenon. Learning outcomes may emphasize compliance in responding, willingness to respond, or satisfaction in
responding (motivation).
A3-Valuing: The worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, or behavior. This ranges from
simple acceptance to the more complex state of commitment. Valuing is based on the internalization of a set of
specified values, while clues to these values are expressed in the learner's overt behavior and are often identifiable.
A4-Organization: Organizes values into priorities by contrasting different values, resolving conflicts between them,
and creating a unique value system. The emphasis is on comparing, relating, and synthesizing values.
A5-Internalizes Values (characterization): Has a value system that controls their behavior. The behavior is pervasive,
consistent, predictable, and most important characteristic of the learner. Instructional objectives are concerned with the
student's general patterns of adjustment (personal, social, emotional).

The Psychomotor Domain

P1-Perception (awareness): The ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity. This ranges from sensory
stimulation, through cue selection, to translation.
P2-Set: Readiness to act. It includes mental, physical, and emotional sets. These three sets are dispositions that
predetermine a person's response to different situations (sometimes called mindsets).
P3-Guided Response: The early stages in learning a complex skill that includes imitation and trial and error.
Adequacy of performance is achieved by practicing.
P4-Mechanism (basic proficiency): This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill. Learned responses have
become habitual and the movements can be performed with some confidence and proficiency.
P5-Complex Overt Response (Expert): The skillful performance of motor acts that involve complex movement
patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of
energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and automatic performance.
P6-Adaptation: Skills are well developed and the individual can modify movement patterns to fit special
requirements.
P7-Origination: Creating new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific problem. Learning outcomes
emphasize creativity based upon highly developed skills.
