Schedule of lectures for Term III

Below please find the schedule of lectures for Surveying course in Term III.

Since we are left only with one month of teaching, we will get a maximum of 20 lectures before your end term starts from 8th Dec.

Please attend the classes regularly to cover the entire course. No classes shall be repeated.

If there are no students in the class, the scheduled lecture shall be considered as complete. As was the case today (27th Oct) in the Tut of G1, since no one turned up for the classes, I am assuming the topic scheduled to be covered as complete.
