Assessment Tasks/Activities ILO No. Weighting (if applicable) Remarks Test 15-30% Questions are designed for the first part of the course to see how well the students have learned concepts and techniques of advanced linear algebra and ordinary differential equations. Hand-in assignments 0-15% These are skills based assessment to see whether the students are familiar with advanced concepts and techniques of linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, multi-variable calculus and Fourier series and some applications in science and engineering. Examination 70% Examination questions are designed to see how far students have achieved their intended learning outcomes. Questions will primarily be skills and understanding based to assess the student’s versatility in advanced linear algebra, ordinary differential equations and multi-variable calculus. Formative take-home assignments 0% The assignments provide students chances to demonstrate their achievements on linear algebra, ordinary differential equations and multi-variable calculus learned in this course.
