Examination
Policy

Examinations must be written at the scheduled, time, date and location. The final
examination period includes Saturdays. Writing the final examination at a time other than
the one in the posted examination schedule will only be permitted when a student has a
direct conflict between two scheduled examinations. Two exams on a single day is not
considered a valid reason for moving an exam. Students must notify the affected
instructors of a conflict by the end of Week 9 of the class. Exams may be scheduled at a
time or day of the week different from the class meeting time. You must adjust your
schedule accordingly. Only severe extenuating circumstances (such as serious illness)
will be accepted as a reason for not writing an exam as scheduled. In this case, the
instructor must be notified by the student at the earliest possible opportunity, and a
doctor's certificate must be provided. The instructor will establish the alternate date and
location for the make-up exam. Any travel plans need to be made for dates after the
scheduled exam period which is published well in advance in the UFV Calendar
Schedule of Events. No electronic devices (other than calculators, if required) will be
allowed. Where calculators are allowed, the Professor reserves the right to clear the
calculators memory. All papers, mobile phones, books, bags and outer garments must be
placed at the front of the class or under the desk as specified by the instructor.

Assignments

Assignments would be given in the class and also put up on Blackboard. Students will be
required to apply the concepts seen in class on their respective home Assignments.
Students in group of 3 to 4 will be given a Project to work on and give the presentation.
Students are expected to thoroughly study the assigned project and be prepared to
answer questions in the class and engage in appropriate discussions.
TESTS
The Midterm would be a practical exam covering only Chapter 1 to 5 and Chapter 8
Final Exam Would be again a practical test covering all the related chapters
DEADLINES
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the dates shown on the class schedule.
Late assignments will not be accepted. If a student misses a test or exam, he/she will
receive a mark of 0.Emergency situations preventing a student from completing a
test/exam will require substantiation and will be considered on an individual basis by the
instructor.
NOTE
Students are expected to come in time for the class.
Late comers will not be allowed.
Go through the lesson to be taught in the class in advance.
