Teaching-Learning Process (General Instructions)


These are sample Strategies, which teachers can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course
outcomes.
1. 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.
2. Show Video/animation films to explain the functioning of various techniques.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group) Learning in the class
4. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher-order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical
thinking
5. 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.
6. Topics will be introduced in multiple representations.
7. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with their
own creative ways to solve them.
8. 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) and
for the SEE minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). The student
is declared as a pass in the course if he/she secures 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:


• There are 25 marks for the CIE's Assignment component and 25 for the Internal Assessment Test
component.
• Each test shall be conducted for 25 marks. The first test will be administered after 40-50% of the
coverage of the syllabus, and the second test will be administered after 85-90% of the coverage
of the syllabus. The average of the two tests shall be scaled down to 25 marks
• Any two assignment methods mentioned in the 22OB4.2, if an assignment is project-based then
only one assignment for the course shall be planned. The schedule for assignments shall be
planned properly by the course teacher. The teacher should not conduct two assignments at the
end of the semester if two assignments are planned. Each assignment shall be conducted for 25
marks. (If two assignments are conducted then the sum of the two assignments shall be scaled
down to 25 marks)
• The final CIE marks of the course out of 50 will be the sum of the scale-down marks of tests and
assignment/s marks.
Internal Assessment Test 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 course (duration 03 hours).
1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
2. 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.
3. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
4. Marks scored shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
