Assessment Policy (as per University Rule):
Each of the Four (4) Class Tests would be of approximately 15 minutes long. The best
Three (3) will be considered. The weights of the final grading are
• Class participation – 10%
• Class Tests
– 20%
• Final Exam
– 70%
Outcomes:
In completion of EEE 101, the students are expected to learn an introductory approach
to analyze dc and ac electrical circuits by applying their knowledge in basic
mathematics and science. A modular approach of circuit analysis using the theorems
would build a capacity in a student to analyze more complex systems such as those in
power and electronic systems in future. The students are also expected to be exposed
with the approach of time-dependent performance analysis of energy storage elements
that are common in practical electrical systems using their knowledge in basic calculus.
