1. RATIONALE
Python is an open-source, high-level, general-purpose programming language used for
software development. It is one of the most popular programming languages in the world
today and known for its simplicity as well as rich library. It is widely used programming
language in various domains, such as Automation, Server-side Web Development, Tools
Development, Game Programming, Blockchain, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine
Learning, Big Data etc. It’s relatively easy to learn to use and incredibly versatile.
This course aims to teach the basics of Python programming. The course focuses on how to
use the building blocks of Python programming to solve different problems. At the end of the
course, students will be able to develop simple applications using Python programming. This
knowledge will provide a solid foundation for exploring advanced applications of Python
programming in the different domains mentioned above.

2. COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim of developing different
types of skills so that students are able to acquire the following competencies:
● Develop simple applications using scripting language Python.

3. COURSE OUTCOMES (COs)

World” and “Sky is the Limit” should generate output
“HSeklyliosWtohrelLdimit”

The ADOs are best developed through the laboratory/field based exercises. Moreover, the level
of achievement of the ADOs according to Krathwohl’s ‘Affective Domain Taxonomy’ should
gradually increase as planned below:

8. UNDERPINNING THEORY
The major underpinning Theory is formulated as given below and only higher level UOs of
Revised Bloom’s taxonomy are mentioned for the development of the COs and competency
in the students by the teachers. (Higher level UOs automatically include lower level UOs in
them). If required, more such higher level UOs could be included by the course teacher to
focus on attainment of COs and competency.

10. SUGGESTED STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, the following are the suggested student-
related co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course: Students should conduct the following activities in groups
and prepare small reports (of 1 to 5 pages for each activity). For micro project reports should
be as per the suggested format. For other activities, students and teachers together can decide
the format of the report. Students should also collect/record physical evidence such as
photographs/videos of the activities for their (student’s) portfolio, which will be useful for
their placement interviews:
a) Students are encouraged to use Jupyter Notebook for lab activities and projects.
b) Undertake micro-projects in teams.
c) Make a list of the Python-based applications or software.
d) Students are encouraged to register themselves in various MOOCs such as: Swayam,
edx, Coursera, Udemy etc. to further enhance their learning.
e) Encourage students to participate in different coding competitions like hackathons,
online competitions on codechef etc.
f) Encourage students to form a coding club at institute level and can help the slow
learners.
g) https://www.codechef.com, in this website, very elementary programs are available,
students are expected to solve those programs using Python programming.
h) https://code.org/, an hour of code may be organized and students are encouraged to
participate.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies that the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course:
a) Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/subtopics.
b) Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
c) ‘L’ in section No. 4 means different types of teaching methods that are to be employed
by teachers to develop the outcomes.
d) Guide students to do personalized learning so that students can understand the course
material at their own pace.
e) Encourage students to do group learning by sharing so that teaching can easily be
enhanced.
f) About 20% of the topics/sub-topics which are relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is to be given to the students for self-learning, but to be assessed using
different assessment methods.
g) With respect to section No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
h) Diagnose Essential missed learning concepts that will help the students.
i) Using the knowledge gained from this course, instruct students on how to address
environmental and sustainability issues.

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to
him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are
group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually
undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so
that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have
to be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based,
laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs
which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain
dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar
presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be
less than 14-16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to
submit micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. This has to match the competency and the
COs. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned course teacher:
a) Automating Emails: Develop a Python project to send emails automatically.
b) Alarm Clock: Develop a Python project for an alarm clock.
c) Unit Conversion Calculator: Develop a Python project to convert between commonly
used units.
d) Scraping Google Results: Develop a Python project that can scrape results from google
based on some query.
e) Weather app: Develop a Python project that takes the city name and returns the
weather information of that city using web scraping.
