Class participation will be judged by in-class evaluation; attendance will be recorded in every class.
Continuous assessment will be done in the form of laboratory tasks, assignments, laboratory-tests, report writing and viva.
A group project on the modelling, simulating and analysing wireless communication has to be completed by the end of this course. A project report has to be submitted and the project has to demonstrated and presented in the class.
