      Guideline for the courses

      • All the registered students for this course have to enroll in Moodle
      • Students will find all course materials from moodle 
      • All the students have to submit the soft copy of their "Assignment" in Moodle under the assignment section created here and for this,they will be graded here .
      • One discussion or feedback forum is created under each of the lecture.
      • Students have to give their feedback on these forum and marks will be given posted on Moodle. So the have keep themselves always active on Moodle.
      • All the quizes will be held on the face to face class.
      • The question pattern for the quizzes will be given below under each section of quize.
      • There are quize instruction forum under the sections students can discuss with each other regarding the exam.
