C. Instructional Methods and Pedagogy
At the starting of the course, delivery pattern, prerequisite of the subject will be discussed.
Lectures will be conducted with the aid of multi–media projector, black board, etc.
Attendance is compulsory in lectures and laboratory.
Internal exams/Unit tests/Surprise tests/Quizzes/Seminar/Assignments etc. will be conducted as a
part of continuous internal theory evaluation.
The course includes a laboratory, where students will get opportunities to build appreciation for
the concepts being taught in lectures using software.
Experiments/tutorials related to course content will be carried out in the laboratory.
In the lectures and laboratory discipline and behavior will be observed strictly.
