Evaluation plan Introduction

1. Evaluation plan (Details of evaluation plan including the • What is HV?
weightages for each of the components, conforming to the
regulations): How high is high?
(a)Two/Three class tests/quiz: One/Two before mid-sem. & What magnitude is “High Voltage” for this course EE456?
One/two after mid-sem; Announced or surprise. (All tests are
compulsory and total weightage is 20%)
• Why HV?
(b)Class room interaction and Assignments: Weightage 15%.
In power systems why Higher Voltages?
(c)Mid-sem examination: Weightage 25%.
(d)End-Sem examination: Weightage 40%
• . Final grading: In accordance with institute norms for AA & FF; • Use of HV……..will be discussed in next lecture
Grading will be relative & class average grade will be decided, based In the Laboratory
on class performance. In the Field
