Component I Home assignments (5 Marks) Home assignments enforce regular study beside the college hours. In addition they can be used to provide useful reading material, problem sets, and solutions.

6 Guidelines: 1. Assignments should be properly covered and the details such as name of the student, roll number etc should be mentioned on the cover page. 2. Copied assignments will not be accepted. 3. Assignments will not be accepted after the last date of submission. 4. Logical and descriptive questions will be given. Component II Quiz (10 Marks) Quiz evaluates the students in terms of the following:1. Knowledge of basic concepts and their application in logical problems. 2. Ability to analyze a given problem or situation. Guidelines: 1. Objective and one word answer type questions will be asked in quiz. 2. There will be no negative marking for objective questions. Component III- Class Test (20 Marks) This activity will enforce regular study and can test students basic knowledge and ability to analyze. In addition, it will also provide students some practice for their end-term examination. Guidelines: 1. Descriptive as well as application based problems will be given. Component IV- Attendance (5 Marks) A student is required to attend all the sessions, in case of unavoidable circumstances; he/she may be allowed to skip sessions with prior permission. It will be compulsory for such students to report their progress of the portion covered while he/she was on leave. Component V - End semester examination (60 Marks) As laid down in the academic regulations, the end semester examination is conducted at the end of the semester and is comprehensive enough to include the whole course. It serves the purposes of judging the students capability to integrate and inter-link various fundamental principles and application aspects of the course. Guidelines: 1. It will include the whole course. 2. It is the most important component as it has the maximum weightage, so extensive study will be required. 3. Revising all the assignments and quizzes provided, may help in preparation. 4. Students are also advised to feel free to visit for chamber consultation during the preparation leave.
