Instructions regarding class and class tests: Cell phones must be turned off or kept silent during class. Students are requested not to receive or make any phone calls during class. Four class tests will be taken. Date of class tests will be announced at least 5 days before. Once a date has been announced, it will not be changed. In case of government holidays or other such events coincide with a scheduled class test date, the class test will be automatically shifted to the next available class without any further notice. Class test marks and solutions will be available on the website (http://teacher.buet.ac.bd/zaman/ or http://sites.google.com/site/asifzaman13/ ). Additional course materials may also be uploaded on the site. Students are advised to check the website regularly for updates regarding the course.
