short and broad questions or it can be of multiple choice questions or a combination of both. Instructor
will make those decisions in duly fashion and notify the students. Students must take the exam in due
date. There is NO opportunity of makeup exam except for very serious causes for which student has to
provide solid proof. In additions special permission will be required from the Program Department signed

General Guidelines to Complete and Submit Assignments
Dear Students,
In this document, I am pointing out some guidelines that are mandatory for any assignment.
PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY!!
1. Try to understand the requirements of an assignment. Plan your answer, and write it down. Finally, you
must type your answers in Word format using MSWord. Please use Times New Roman as your font,
and Size 12 for font size.
For lab assignments, the format for submitting the assignments will be different.
2. Please do your works all by yourself. SELFDISCRETION is very important during your life in NSU
and afterwards. Similarities in the assignments are not allowed i.e. sentence structures, answers format,
etc. Similarities are called PLAGIARISM and it is a serious crime in an educational institution.
Please submit your assignments that contain your OWN WORDS. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE
OTHER’S ASSIGNMENTS. OTHERWISE, I WILL DEDUCT POINTS.
3. PUNCTUALITY is a weapon for a successful life. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ASSIGNMENTS BY
DEADLINE. Submissions after the deadline will be eligible for mark deductions.
That is all from my side. Now I am expecting good gestures from you. If you have any queries, do not
hesitate to contact me.
THANK YOU. ENJOY YOUR TIME!!!
