Word from Tanvir H DeWan:

Dear students, I will cater my best to accommodate your educational need. I try not to make things complicated,
so if you follow class lecture, attend quizzes, and spend time on studying accordingly, you will pass the course
with flying colors. There are plenty of points to collect with little effort. I do believe in mutual respect, honesty,
and ethics. I do not really care about cunningness and fabrication. I will try to make your learning experience
fun and interesting if you co-operate with me. Requests from students on any mater will be honored only if
those do not clash with IUBAT laws and my own judgment. With all due respects, I will not allow any students
to talk in Bengali (IUBAT Pledge). This is the only free chance for you to get coached on your speaking ability
in English before you go to your professional world. So let us use our time together for learning and teaching.

Thanks
