Dear S.E. 2014 of Semester III

A warm welcome to the realm of Engineering Geology! I cannot promise you bliss but there will definitely be new things to ponder upon, weird names to remember and numerous concepts to understand your planet better. I expect full attendance in class, rapt attention in lectures and prompt submission of assignments. So here goes.....

1. The first five write-ups for the practical sessions are already uploaded. Kindly write in neat handwriting and get the pages signed at you earliest. You may use journal pages that are ruled on both sides, since there are no diagrams involved in these sessions.

2. The first assignment should be up by tomorrow.

3. Please check this blog everday for recent updates.

4. Parbin Singh's Engineering should suffice. I have uploaded another text book for reference purposes.
