Mode of Learning
Since Electronics is a practical subject, the highest priority will be given for providing a thorough practical knowledge to the students. More than half of the time allocated for the program will be used for hands on practical sessions conducted in the well equipped laboratories at the Department of Physics.
For the theory courses,
this year, we have decided to introduce the mobile Learning platform for enhancing the learning experience of the students. The content management system will make it possible for students to interact with the lecturers and fellow students from the convenience of their homes.
Examination structure
The performance of students in theory
and practical course modules under part I will be evaluated
through 10 papers. Evaluations in the theory courses may
include in-class assignments in addition to the written
examinations. The written examinations will be held at the
end of each semester. Each written paper will be of two
hour duration.
In the practical courses, the assessments
will be carried out on a continuous basis. The students
will be evaluated according to their performance in the
laboratory and the quality of the written reports.
Those who fail the examinations will be allowed to repeat each paper once, at the next available opportunity.
In the guided reading course, each student
will be required to gain a thorough knowledge on a given
topic through a literature survey. The assessment will be
based on the display of the knowledge acquired, through
written reports and oral presentations.
In
part II, students are initially required to take two course
modules. Once the two course modules are completed, each
student will be given a choice of selecting two more course
modules or a research project which will be conducted under
the guidance of a supervisor appointed by the department.
At the completion of the two course modules/research project,
students will be required to submit a technical report/dissertation.
The evaluation of the two course modules/research project,
which will be based on the technical report/dissertation
and viva-voce examinations, will be carried out according
to the general guidelines of the faculty.
