Many questions are repeated
Mostly definition + explanation + diagram based

Step 2: Make Short Notes
For each topic:
Definition (2–3 lines)
3–5 bullet points
One diagram or flowchart

Step 3: Practice Answer Writing
Use proper headings
Underline important keywords
Add one simple example if possible

🎯 Final Professor Advice

Course work exam is concept-based, not deep research

Simple English + structured answers score better

Smart preparation is more important than long study hours
