He should read the assigned problems/exercises prior to class. He is expected to attend each class and participate actively in the discussions.

The student should seat only on his designated place inside the classroom and avoid unnecessary noise or movement during discussions to
avoid distracting the other students who are listening to the instructor. The use of gadgets such as mp3 players, smart phones, tablets and other
similar devices are strictly prohibited if such use will only divert class attention to unimportant matters.
