ASSIGNMENTS During the course of the Program in Embedded Systems, the students have to submit a number of assignments. These assignments relate to the sessions dealt with in the classroom. The faculty is entrusted with not only giving the relevant assignments to the students, but also evaluating the assignments submitted by the students, and giving the needful corrections, clarifications and suggestions of the same. Proper weight-age in terms of marks is given to these assignments. Reinforcing what has been learnt in the classroom Gauging the understanding of the student of a concept or application Providing enough room for creativity in implementation Creating an avenue for getting more knowledge of the related concepts TESTS VECTOR Institute conducts tests periodically, which are dependent on the sessions attended and practicals completed by the students. Tests are a part of the course process, and are of two types - written and practical. The written tests are held as per the time-table, and the practicals http://www.vectorindia.org/embedded_coursecontent.html

are conducted once the student had enough exposure to scripting programs relating to Embedded Systems. The tests administered at VECTOR Institute are of high standard, and basically meant to gauge the students’ understanding of the embedded technology, and their readiness to take up a job in the relevant field.
