The lab classes will mainly consist of implementation of programming concepts discussed in class and the assignments covered in tutorial sessions. of the course website for details. . 2.
Every student is expected to have access to at least one of the text books
. 3.
Attendance in the classes is mandatory. If the
attendance of a student falls below 75%, he/she may will be dropped from the course after Component 2 4.
The course will consist of laboratory and take-home
assignments, which has to be done very seriously. If a student does not submit
the assignments, his/her grade will remain as incomplete. 5.
The vehicular language for the course will be "C". All codes, assignments and lab exercises will be implemented in C language only. 6.
The laboratory assignments will be mainly implementation-oriented
which have to coded in C and will be based the topics discussed in theoretical lectures. 7.
Grading Policy :
o
Component 1 -Lab assignments and a lab test will form the 10% of this component. o
Component 2 - Lab assignments and lab test will form the 10% of this component. o
Component 3 - Group Project evalution Lab Related Instructions: 1. Submission : All submissions must be made using Google Classroom . You will be notified about mode and way to submit in the tutorial classes. E-mail submission is strongly discouraged and if submitted will be ignored. Submissions after the deadline will not be considered. 2. Programming Language : All programs must be written in the C programming language. algorithms. Although we will initially help you to debug your codes, the debugging support will be slowly withdrawn as time progresses. For C syntax, look at the lecture slides, or bring with you any textbook on ANSI C. 3. Plagiarism : We have a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. Any case of cheating or stealing codes would result in imposition of “ Unfair Means “ charge on you and you will have to face the disciplinary committee of the Department leading to probable de-registration from the course. The person who allowed his program to be copied and the one who copied it will face same consequences. If you copy parts of your code from the Internet, you must mention that clearly in your code. Failure to do that will lead to your entire submission being invalid. 4. Comments and Indentation : We want your programs to follow a proper indentation style as instructed in the lab Lab Topic Tutorial / Reference Codes / Helpful Resources Tutorial/Assignments 0.
