Mid-sem Grading: Mid-sem grading will be displayed after the completion of six experiments.
Note: A student will be likely to get “NC”, if he / she Doesn’t appear / appear for the sake of appearing for the evaluation components / scoring zero in pre-compre total. Scoring zero in the lab component / Abstaining from lab classes throughout.
Makeup and Attendance policies: Make-ups are not given as a routine. It is solely dependent upon the genuineness of the circumstances under which a student fails to appear in a scheduled evaluation component. In such circumstances, prior permission should be obtained from the Instructor-in-Charge (I/C).The decision of the I/C in the above matter will be final. Attendance: Every student is expected to be responsible for regularity of his/her attendance in class rooms and laboratories, to appear in scheduled tests and examinations and fulfill all other tasks assigned to him/her in every course. A student should have a minimum of 50% of attendance in a course to be eligible to appear for the Comprehensive Examination in that course. For the students under the purview of Academic Counseling Board (ACB), the Board shall prescribe the minimum attendance requirement on a case-to-case basis. Attendance in the course will be a deciding factor in judging the seriousness of a student which may be directly / indirectly related to grading.
General timings for consultation: Each instructor will specify his / her chamber consultation hours during which the student can contact him / her in his / her chamber for consultation. (For details see part II)
General instructions: Students should come prepared for classes and carry the text book(s) or material(s) as prescribed by the Course Faculty to the class.
Notices: All notices concerning the course will be displayed on the Chemistry laboratory Notice Boards.
