Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)


The sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes are listed in the following:
17. Lecture method (L) does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but a different type of
teaching method may be adopted to develop the outcomes.
18. Show Video/animation films to explain the functioning of various techniques.
19. Encourage collaborative (Group) Learning in the class
20. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher-order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical
thinking
21. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop thinking
skills such as the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall
it.
22. Topics will be introduced in multiple representations.
23. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with
their own creative ways to solve them.
24. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world - and when that's possible, it helps
improve the students' understanding.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50). A student
shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each
subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end
examination (SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous
Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
CIE will be the same as other core theory courses.
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per
the outcome defined for the course.
Semester End Examination (SEE):
For non-MCQ pattern of CIE and SEE
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
At the beginning of the semester, the instructor/faculty teaching the course has to announce the methods
of CIE for the course.
Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks (duration 01 hour)
10. First test at the end of 5th week of the semester
11. Second test at the end of the 10th week of the semester
12. Third test at the end of the 15th week of the semester
Two assignments each of 10 Marks
13. First assignment at the end of 4th week of the semester
14. Second assignment at the end of 9th week of the semester
Group discussion/Seminar/quiz any one of three suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for 20
Marks (duration 01 hours)
27.09.2022 114

15. At the end of the 13th week of the semester


The sum of three tests, two assignments, and quiz/seminar/group discussion will be out of 100 marks
and will be scaled down to 50 marks
(to have less stressed CIE, the portion of the syllabus should not be common /repeated for any of the
methods of the CIE. Each method of CIE should have a different syllabus portion of the course).
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as per
the outcome defined for the course.
Semester End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question
papers for the subject (duration 03 hours)
 The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
 There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a
maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. Marks scored
out of 100 shall be reduced proportionally to 50 marks.
