Part C: Assessment and Evaluation

16. Assessment Strategy:

The assessments for laboratory courses are made by evaluating performance of the
student on the basis of continuous assessment i.e. attendance, Class performance,
Assignment/lab report, quizzes and Viva-voce during laboratory hours. Besides that,
at the end there will be lab test/project. Lab Test/Project will contain comprehensive
computer aided structural analysis and design to assess complete understanding.

17. Marks Distribution:

Individual student will be evaluated based on the following criteria-
Category Marks
Attendance 10
Class Performance/Continuous Evaluation 20
Data Sheet/ Assignment/ Lab Report 10
Written Test/Quiz 20
Lab Test/ Project 30
Viva-Voce 10
Total = 100

Attendance:
All students are expected to attend classes regularly. The university believes that
attendance is necessary for effective learning. The first responsibility of a student is to
attend classes regularly, and one is required to attend at least 80% of all classes held
in any course. In case of sickness 70% attendance may be considered by the VC with
proper medical documents provided by the student. Students failing to attend 80%
classes are liable to pay a fine of Tk. 2000/-per course. Students not eligible to sit for
exam of a particular course due to poor attendance; their concerned course will be
deleted from the Admit Card. The basis for awarding marks for class in sessional
courses are as per earned percentage (%) of attendance.

Data Sheet/Assignment/Lab Report:

The students will have to form a group of maximum 5 members/Individual student
may submit assignment. The topic or case studies will be given as assignment in
groups during the class which they have to prepare at home and will submit on or

Dept. of Civil Engineering, BAUET, Qadirabad, Natore 10

 Course Outline- CE 2206 (Engineering Computations Sessional)-Fall-2023

before the due date. No late submission of assignments will be accepted. Students will
have to do the presentation on the given topic as assignment (if required).

Written Test/Quiz and Lab Test/ Project:

At the end of the semester written test/quiz and lab test/project will be held.
Evaluation of performance will be on the basis of marks obtained in written test/quiz
and lab test/project.

18. Evaluation Policy (Grading System):

Letter grades and grade points are used to evaluate the performance of a student in a
given course. Grades will be calculated as per the university grading structure. General
rules of BAUET are as follows:

Numerical Markings Letter Grade Grade Points

80% and above A+ 4.00
75% to below 80% A 3.75
70% to below 75% A- 3.50
