    Useful suggestions and course policies:
    You are strongly advised to sincerely work out all the details of your class notes again at home. You use the same mantra for your assignments as well. If you don't take your assignments seriously, you are very likely to face great difficulty in solving final exam problems.

    Leave: You are fully responsible for taking all the necessary notes during class. I cannot promise to provide you with any hand-outs.

    Assignment: Assignments are to be submitted before the class begins on the due date. Failing to submit an assignment will normally result in a mark of zero. Exceptions may be granted in two cases: prior consent of the instructor or a medical emergency. In the latter case, the instructor must be notified as soon as possible (preferably before the day of submission), and presented with a doctor's note immediately upon the student's return to IITH.
