Evaluation and Assessment
- Quizzes (40 marks): We will conduct 5
surprize quizzes of 10 marks each. If your attendance is less than 75 percent,
we will count the worst 4 out of these 5, else we will count the best 4 out of
these 5. If you miss a quiz, we will assign you the marks for that quiz by
appropriately scaling your marks from the next exam (minor/major).
- Minor exam (25 marks): If you miss the minor
exam, we will scale your major exam marks to calculate your marks for the
minor. This, of course, is subject to submission of a valid IITD medical
certificate. There won't be a re-minor.
- Major exam (35 marks): The syllabus for the
major exam will include everything that is covered in the entire course. A
re-major exam will be held, if necessary.
- Grading: We will adopt a relative grading scheme.
- Pass and Audit Pass criteria: You
need to obtain 30 marks or more in order to pass the course. For an audit
pass, you need at least 75 percent attendance and at least 60 marks in the course.
- If you are found guilty of an
academic integrity violation (which includes wrongful marking of attendance),
you will be summarily awarded an F.
