March - May 2015

Things to remember:

• Contact information: My office room no is 222, and the extension no is 9245. Feel free to drop by. You can also reach me at div@ncra.tifr.res.in.
• Course lectures and any other information/updates/news about the course will be put up at http://www.ncra.tifr.res.in/~div/Teaching/Astro-techII/index.html. It will be a good idea to check it periodically.
  
• The course will consist of about 14 lectures (of 1.0 - 1.5 hours each) at the rate of 2 lectures per week. Some weeks might have 3 lectures to make up for any lost slots.  
• There will be two take-home assignment sets and perhaps some unannounced class tests (quizzes) and one final examination which will be used for evaluating the course.
  
• The evaluation procedure is the following: Your final average score will be computed giving 30% weightage to final exam, 30% to each of the two assignments and 10% for class room participation.
• In order to be able to take the final exam, you need to attend at least 11 of the 14 lectures (80%).
• You need to score more than 40% to pass the course.
