Exams and Assessment

Basically 3 exams method SI, SII & Final

Sessional 1 → 10

Sessional 2 → 15

Final → 50 and Lab 50

Assignment/Quizes/presentations/

Eliminating one Exam suggests that there is a clear room for more

practical work (so you must start getting worried about it !!!)

Course Requirements

◼ Assignments/Quizes◼ Written assignments (Small Tasks) (details in coming

lectures)

◼ Idea is to initiate research oriented writing not “cut-copy-paste”

◼ Attendance, Presentations, Quiz & Class Discussion & Participation (as a regular activity)

◼ Volunteer presentations (you are familiar with this kind of stuff but you need to respond to it quickly!)

◼ Sessional’s loot sale

◼ Formal Presentations (individual/groups)

How to get good marks?

◼ Requirements◼ Overall Class Attitude

◼ Things to Avoid (Referencing, Cut-Copy-Paste Culture, Carelessness, leg-pulling)

◼ Things to do (Innovation, Confidence, Work Attitude)

◼ Sense of Maturity and continuous learning

◼ Conceptual assessments (Thorough Study)

◼ Brain storming exams

Examination

◼ I personally believe in “thorough studies” so usually no choices given in the exam.

◼ Everything discussed, during the class or given as reading material, could be part of the exams.

◼ Other details will be given close to Sessional

◼ I will try to follow my simple rule that is ◼ “ I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very strict in the exam hall (believe me no

chance of misconduct… and favor)”

Course Orientation

◼ Theoretical focus

◼ Lecture notes will include more graphical explanation of OOP Concepts to give more practical orientation about the subjected topic.

◼ Case Studies & Articles on related Topics

◼ Formal Presentation from Students (Part of Course)

◼ More, more and more practical work is acquired in this course.

Text & References

◼ Focus will be on topics rather Chapters of any text book

◼ Many Text/books are available in market, but ◼ Java How to Program by Deital and Deital – 9th Edition

◼ Object First with Java by David Barnes
