Important
links and information:
Elearn
portal:
https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in
Students are expected to visit the
Elearn portal on a regular basis and stay up to date with the latest
announcements and deadlines.
Contact sessions: Students should
attend the online lectures as per the schedule provided on the Elearn portal.
Evaluation
Guidelines:
1.
EC-1
consists of either two Assignments or three Quizzes. Students will attempt them
through the course pages on the Elearn portal. Announcements will be made on
the portal, in a timely manner.
2.
For
Closed Book tests: No books or reference material of any kind will be
permitted.
3.
For
Open Book exams: Use of books and any printed / written reference material
(filed or bound) is permitted. However, loose sheets of paper will not be
allowed. Use of calculators is permitted in all exams. Laptops/Mobiles of any
kind are not allowed. Exchange of any material is not allowed.
4.
If
a student is unable to appear for the Regular Test/Exam due to genuine
exigencies, the student should follow the procedure to apply for the Make-Up
Test/Exam which will be made available on the Elearn portal. The Make-Up
Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected exam centres on the dates to be
announced later.
It shall be the responsibility of the
individual student to be regular in maintaining the self study schedule as
given in the course handout, attend the online lectures, and take all the
prescribed evaluation components such as Assignment/Quiz, Mid-Semester Test and
Comprehensive Exam according to the evaluation scheme provided in the handout.
