Instructional Method and Pedagogy:

 Lectures will be conducted with the aid of multi-media projector, black board, OHP etc.
 Assignments based on course content will be given to the students at the end of each
unit/topic and will be evaluated at regular interval.
 Surprise tests/Quizzes/Seminar/Tutorials will be conducted.
 The course includes a laboratory, where students have an opportunity to build an
appreciation for the concepts being taught in lectures.
