- 11. Teaching Philosophy Teaching/Learning is a two-way exchange of knowledge and a close interaction between a teacher and a student How do we learn? An old proverb captures the essence of learning process - I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand. Question everything; Rationalize your answers. 11

- 13. 13 In this course, emphasis is placed on deep understanding and learning. Understanding of basic concepts and problem solving skills will be promoted. Assessment will be based on demonstrated ability to apply basic concepts to effectively solve a problem using the language of engineers mathematics. On learning and securing good marks
- 14. 14 CODE OF CONDUCT Turn off your cell phone when you enter the classroom Keep the internal discussions to a minimum Background chattering noise is distracting for the instructor and eventually to classmates If you have something interesting to share, share it with the whole class If you are sleepy, your bed may provide a better environment for rest than the classroom chair
