Evaluation Mode Allottment / submission

Week

Test 1 to test the Knowledge gained by the student in the class

The test duration will be 45 minutes, The question Marks may vary from 5 or multiples of 5. The Test Must be announced at least 6 days in advance and must be based on content already taught before test allotment.

Individual Questions must justify the marks allotted to them

6 / 7

Homework 1 To test the knowledge of the student

It will be based on the topic covered in class,length of the homework 2000- 3000 words or 4 to 6 pages .

Individual The Marks will be in 5 or multiples of 5. Short questions (1 or 2 marks to be avoided as far as possible)

3 / 4

Design problem 1 To test the theoritical knowliedge in implementing different problems of robots gained by students

Unique solution from each student Individual Every solution should be feasible.Post evaluation feedback must be given to each student, hence date of submission to be planned accordingly.
