• If you cannot attend the class due to some reason let me know a day or two before the
lecture.
• A quiz may be at the start of the class to evaluate your advance home reading or it may be
at the end of the class to test your attentiveness and understanding of the session concerned
or from past studied material. (If you are absent in a class, it is your duty to cover the topics
before you come to the next lecture).
• Assignment will incur a penalty of 25% deduction of marks for every day or part of a day
that it remains not submitted.
• Only an outline of lecture slides would be provided. I discourage relying on them for
preparation. You should read the relevant material from the recommended textbook also.
