Roles of the Instructor He/she will come to the class regularly on time and deliver the lecture and/or
laboratory class in a well-organized manner. Besides, at the end of each class
he/she gives reading assignment for the next class. He/she will make sure that a
proper assessment is given. He/she is also responsible to give feedback for each
assessment
The success of this course depends on the students‟ individual and collective
Roles of the students contribution to the class discussions. Students are expected to participate
voluntarily, or will be called upon, to contribute to set exercises and problems.
Students are also expected to read the assigned readings and prepare the cases
before each class so that they could contribute effectively to class discussions.
Students must attempt assignments by their own. Proficiency in this course
comes from individual knowledge and understanding. Copying the works of
others is considered as serious offence and leads to disciplinary actions
