Course Grading:
Students will be evaluated based on their completion of quizzes, class tests, final exam and
practical. Your overall grade will be determined on the basis of
4 Quizzes
4-6 Assignments
Mid Term Exam
Final Exam

Class notes and Handouts:
Students must take notes in the class. Derivations and problems would be copied from the board
as the instructor writes while, the student should note down important points as the instructor
orally delivers the lecture. This body of material would form the most important asset of the student
for exam preparation and in obtaining good grades.
Additional study material supplementing the class notes are the two text books. The student must
always inculcate the habit of book reading for deepening and strengthening the concepts gained
in the class.
Attendance Policy:
Class attendance is mandatory. You are expected to be present in all classes. The students
having their attendance less than 80% will not be allowed to appear in the exam and will be
awarded “F” grade hence forth.
Homework Policy:
 You SHOULD NOT copy homework from classmates. You may consult with the
instructors or one of your classmates if there is a homework problem that you find difficult.
 Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date.
 Late homework is not accepted for any reason.
 Homework papers should be have a cover page showing name, ID number, date, problem
number and assignment number.
 Class serial number should appear on the tope right hand corner of the cover page.
 All problems in an assignment set should be arranged sequentially.
 For grading efficiency, each problem should begin on a new sheet with your name, and
problem number across the tope of the sheet.
 A clear-step-by-step solution to each problem should be presented.
 While A4 Paper should be used for Assignments.
Quizzes:
These will be held promptly on the designated day. They will cover the material taught the
previous weeks. Late arrival or non-attendance without a legitimate excuse will mean that you are
ineligible to take that quiz.
Academic Dishonesty:
The Wah Engineering College is an academic community whose purpose is the pursuit of
knowledge and the development of its graduates as leading experts in their academic disciplines.
All members of this community must be committed to the principles of truth and academic honesty.
Academic dishonesty includes the following acts committed knowingly or intentionally by the
student:

Cheating: Using or attempting to use unauthorized materials and assistance, such as

A zero grade for the assignment
A reduction of grade for the course, including an F grade for the course.
Suspension from the Wah Engineering College for one or more semesters.
Expulsion from the Wah Engineering College.
Records of incidents of academic dishonesty will be kept on file at the Wah Engineering College
and may be reported to the student’s guardian and sponsor.
Students who are in doubt about whether certain academic activities are honest or not should
