Continuous Assessment (C.A.): (i) The total marks (40%) of C.A. will be constituted of: Class participation or Attendance: 10% and Class Tests, Quizzes, Assignments, Term papers etc. 30%.
(ii) The Class tests, Quizzes, Assignments, Term papers etc, carrying 30% will be arranged according to the following table:
At least one class test will be taken from each section. But if there is only one class test in one section, that single test will be counted as the section best.
(iii) Duration of the class test will be 20-45 minutes and it will preferably be taken during class hour.
(iv) Each of the Continuous assessment will finally carry equal marks of weightage. Answer script of the assessment may be shown to the student, but it would not be returned to them. The concerned teacher would submit the evaluated answer scripts and attendance register to the head of the discipline.
(v) If a student repeats a course for which he /she obtained F Grade (in any previous term): he/she may be allowed to repeat the continuous assessment (i.e. class test/quiz/ assignment/ term paper) to improve the grade. However, the marks of class participation will be taken from the previous record. If a student wants to retain his/her marks of the second part of C.A., he/she has to apply to the Head through concerned course teacher within 4 weeks from the beginning of the term.
Thesis evaluation: The distribution of marks for a given Thesis/ Project Paper will be as follows:
Description Marks Evaluation 60 Viva Voce 30 Contact/Discussion/Communication with the Supervisor
Total 100
There will be two examiners (one is Supervisor) to examine the Project Paper/Thesis. Each examiner will evaluate the Paper separately and the average marks will be considered for grading. However, if the marks given by the first and second Examiners vary 20% or more, a Third Examiner to be appointed by the concerned Examination Committee from the outside of the University will evaluate the Project Paper/Thesis. Among these numbers, average of the closest two numbers will be considered for grading. However, if the marks given by the third Examiner happen to stand at the middle of the marks given by the first two Examiners, the average of the three marks will be considered for grading.
Basis for awarding marks for class attendance will be as follows:
Attendance Marks 90% and above 10 85% to less than 90% 9 80% to less than 85% 8 75% to less than 80% 7 70% to less than 75% 6 65% to less than 70% 5 60% to less than 65% 4 Less than 60% 0
Grading system and grading scale: Letter grades and corresponding grade points will be awarded in accordance with provisions shown below –
Numerical Grade (^) Letter Grade Grade Point 80% or above (^) A+ (A plus) 4. 75% to less than 80% (^) A (A regular) 3. 70% to less than 75% (^) A- (A minus) 3.

Task Three: Application of different data file formats, such as DBF, TXT, CSV, SHP etc. Task Four: Perform basic mathematical expressions such as sum, average, min, max, slope, intercept, correlation, linear equation, standard deviation, variance, co-efficient of variation (CV), count, histogram etc. using spreadsheet software. Task Five: Create graphs and tables using example data sets using spreadsheet software. Task Six: Summarize large data sets using Pivot-Table of spreadsheet software.
Year 1, Term-II
Course: FMRT-1201: Estuarine and Marine Ecology
Credit Hour: 03 Year: 1st^ Term: II Rationale: This course is designed to make familiar the students about the concept of estuarine and marine ecology for exploring the necessary ecological services from this area. Course Objectives: To discuss the fundamental concept of ecology. To describe ecological dynamics To define the phenomena responsible for the distribution of organism Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) Course Content Section – A At the end of the course the students will be able to:
1. Write the fundamental concept of ecology. 2. State the ecological factors. 3. Describe ecological dynamics. 4. Recognize the marine habitat in detail. 5. Predict the ecosystem services. 1. Ecology and environment, development of ecology, scope and approach to the study of estuarine ecology. 2. Major ecological factors and interaction of multiple factors in marine ecosystem. 3. Ecological dynamics: Basic concept on the components of marine ecosystem, habitat and ecological niche, trophic level, food chain and food web, trophic structure and ecological pyramids, production, decomposition and transformation of organic matter. 4. Marine habitat: Abyssal, mid depth pelagic, upper oceanic, inshore pelagic and sub littoral zone. Sea bottom, continental shelf, the intertidal zone, rocky, sandy and muddy shores. Coral reefs- environmental factors responsible for reef formation, process of reef formation, types of reefs and coral reef communities. 5. Ecosystem services: Definition and types, examples of key services provided by marine ecosystem Section – B
