Honor Code
• 85% attendance is required as per institute norms to be allowed to write the final exam.

• Students are expected to report their difficulties in understanding the subject matter as early as
possible to receive additional help apart from lectures.

• Each assignment is a potential ladder for the next grade. It is not unlikely that students get a
lower grade for being short of one mark!

Class Schedule
The course is in A-slot and is a 4/10 credit (3(L)-1(T)-6(OC)-10) course. The tutorial classes will be
held in MDS HPCF Lab.

The lecture/tutorial hours will be as follows:

• Monday 8:00 AM - 8:50 AM

• Tuesday 12:00 - 12:50 PM

• Thursday 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM

• Thursday 2 PM - 5 PM - Lab - MDS HPCF
