STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME/METHOD OF GRADING 1. Continuous Assessment 30 marks (i) Class Assignments 10 marks (ii) Mid Term Test 20 marks 2. Examination 2|P a g e 70 marks F. GROUND RULES & REGULATIONS G. ASSIGNMENTS H. Mandatory 75% class attendance. Active participation in all activities. All class assignments/tutorials to be submitted on time. Punctuality to classes to be observed. In physical chemistry, a quick way of determining the extent of students’ understanding is to give them assignments that are quantitative in nature. Once they understand how to use the equations derived in class to solve numerical problems, their understanding of the course is assured. Assignments requiring graphical solutions will also be given.
