PREREQUISITE
Registration of the Course is required
& approved by the Department
INTRODUCTION
ASSIGNMENTS
The assignments must be submitted in A4 size
(11.69” X 8.27”) offset papers.
It must be written by hand on one side of the
papers.
Assignments will be assigned after the topic will
be covered.
They will be due one week after they have been
assigned.
If the assignments are submitted in late, 10%
marks will be deducted for each day it is late
past the original due date.
INTRODUCTION
ASSIGNMENTS
Solution will be available from the co-instructor
and on the website after the problems are
returned.
No assignment will be accepted after the
solution have been posted.
Assignments must be completed and submitted
individually.
Simply copying from another student or from a
solutions manual is not acceptable and will not
be tolerated.
INTRODUCTION
ASSIGNMENTS
Guidelines for submitting assignments
Use good quality paper, such as 80 gm A4 offset
paper, white color with no spiral edges.
Write on only one side of paper.
Either pen or pencil is acceptable.
Use a top sheet including your name, student
number & section as well as the course number,
name & assignment number.
Include student number & page number on each
sheet.
Neatly box all answers including appropriate
units.
Show all work.
INTRODUCTION
ASSIGNMENTS
If the above guidelines are not followed, the
Course Teacher will either reject the entire
assignment for extreme cases, or deduct points for
items that do not conform to the guidelines.
INTRODUCTION
CLASS TESTS
Four class tests will be taken for this course.

INTRODUCTION
TERM FINAL EXAM
All students must attend the term final exam.
If anyone is absent, then he/she must register for
the course again and must attend the exam.
