practical work (so you must start getting worried about it !!!)

Examination
I personally believe in “thorough studies” so usually no choices given in the exam.
Every thing discussed, during the class or given as reading material, could be part of the exams.
Other details will be given close to Sessional
I will try to follow my simple rule that is “ I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very strict in the exam hall (believe me no
chance of misconduct„ and favor)”

Course Orientation
Theoretical focus
Lecture notes will include more graphical explanation of things to give more practical orientation about the computer Science concepts.
Case Studies & Articles on related Topics
Formal Presentation from Students (Part of Course)
