Continuous assessments will be taken with agreement with the student and faculty. For the make up of
Summative assessments students need to apply for SET – B exam according to the AIUB policy.

PART D

19. Learning Materials

Formal lectures will provide the theoretical base for the subject as well as covering its practical application. A set
of lecture notes, tutorial examples, with subsequent discussion and explanation, together with suggested reading
will support and direct the students in their own personal study.

Maximum topics will be covered from the textbook. For the rest of the topics, reference books will be followed.
Some Class notes will be uploaded on the web. White board will be used for most of the time.

For some cases, multimedia projector will be used for the convenience of the students.

Students must study up to the last lecture before coming to the class and it is suggested that they should go through
the relevant chapter before coming to the class. Just being present in the class is not enough- students must
participate in classroom discussions.

Few assignments will be given to the students based on that class to test their class performance.
