Dear students,
‘Getting good grades’ is the aim of every student. Here are some guidelines, and good grades can be assured if you follow them.
Preparing the Lectures:
ü The most important thing in semester system is regularity – so be regular in studies and prepare lectures daily (as per lecture schedule). Working on daily basis is the key to success in semester system.
ü Before watching a lecture, read its handouts and try to understand its contents.
ü Watching the video lecture is a must. Also, take notes while watching the lecture.
ü After watching the lecture, do study your recommended text book and other reference material and prepare your own notes (for your reference and revision).
ü Do spend at least 2 hours on a lecture to have a better understanding by utilizing –
§ half an hour for reading lecture handouts
§ one hour for watching video lecture
§ half an hour for preparation of notes
ü You are advised to learn and understand the concepts as discussed in lecture. Do not just memorize them; rather you should be able to explain them in your own words and to apply them in real life situations.
Quizzes, Assignments and GDBs:
ü Do visit your LMS on daily basis and check announcements for upcoming activities.
ü Regularity in preparing lectures will not bother you in quizzes, assignments, GDBs and other activities.
ü Try to attempt the quizzes (when announced) as early as possible because you may face users’ load on the server on last/due date.
ü Assignments and GDBs are given for the enhancement of your knowledge. Copying their solutions from different websites is not only an unethical practice but also a major reason why you get Zero marks.
Examination:
ü In exams, always write “to-the-point” answer for every question (and explain it as per requirements and marks of the question). “Time management” is more important than writing long unnecessary details.
