 Introduction

The key aspect of the new Competency Based UG Curriculum is to emphasize

on the acquisition of competencies as a requisite for learning progression. There is a

need to document the active learning process adopted by the students and

achievement of competencies / predetermined tasks. The logbook provides the

platform for such documentation and thus forms an integral part of the formative/

continuous assessment program.

This book is designed based on the National Medical Commission’s

Competency based curriculum. The comprehensive logbook provides scope for

documentation of learning of cognitive, psychomotor and behavioral skills

throughout the Microbiology course. The students can use this book to record their

performances in Formative/day-day and Internal Assessment (IA) tests. Formats are

suggested for tabulation of Unit wise, Block-wise and Final IA marks that are to be

sent to the University for Consideration of candidature or otherwise to appear for the

Summative Examination.

This document shall be helpful for the students and the faculty to enable

recording and tracking of skill acquisitions, and in adopting reflective practices to

enhance learning.

 Glossary
Logbook: is a verified record of the progression of the learner documenting the
acquisition of the requisite knowledge, skills, attitude and/ or competencies.

Portfolio is a collection of learner’s progression in tasks and competencies. A

portfolio is evidence of events documented in the logbook. It includes selected
assignments, self-assessment, feedback, work-based and in-training formative
assessments, reflections and learnings from planned activity in the curriculum.

Activity: This term refers to a predefined task performed by learners that contributes
to the achievement of stated objectives or competencies.

Repeat: An activity if not completed satisfactorily and learning outcomes are not
achieved in the first attempt, it needs to be done again by the student. It does not
need further teaching-learning intervention by the teacher.

Remedial: This is a planned activity aimed at correcting deficits that prevents a

learner from achieving an intended outcome.

Feedback: Feedback is a formal active interaction performed at the completion of

an observed activity (or activities) intended to facilitate positive change, growth and
improvement of the learner through guided reflection of activity(ies) performed.

General Instructions
1. The logbook is a important document used for recording acquisition of competencies through various
teaching-learning-assessment activities by the student such as,
- Self-directed learning,
- Participation and performance in Small Group Discussions, practical exercises
- Certifiable skills learning (‘Perform’ level competencies)
- Desirable skills learning (‘Show’ how level competencies)
- AETCOM activities
- Participation and achievement in conferences, field activities, other extra-curricular activities
2. It is the responsibility of each student to bring the logbook to the class and get it verified and signed by the
concerned teacher regularly.
3. All the activities mentioned in the logbook are to be verified and signed by the teacher and the student with
date. At the end of the academic year, the entries in the logbook are scrutinized and certified by the Head of
the Department of Microbiology.
4. Proper care and maintenance of the logbook with entries and signatures is utmost important. This
record will be certified by the Head of the Department with regards to a student’s Eligibility to appear
for the summative examination. Therefore, logbook record is an essential prerequisite for the
University Examination.
5. As per the NMC Curriculum document, it is expected that, the student has to perform ‘at’ or ‘above’ the
level of expectancy on all the Certifiable skills for the predetermined number of times. If the student’s
performance is below the level of expectancy, the activity is Repeated twice and, if the student still fails to
perform as expected, then a Remedial teaching-learning session is conducted. This is in order to ensure that
the student becomes competent in predetermined certifiable competencies.
6. Provision is made to indicate whether the student has participated/performed at or above the expected level
of competency so as to indicate the need for Repeat or Remedial activities, including timely & constructive
Feedback to the students by the faculty.
7. This book can be used as a ready reckoner to gauge the progression of student learning through his/ her
performance in Formative (day to day) and Internal Assessments (IA).
8. Logbook has provision for entries of block-wise attendance of the student. Attendance requirements are 75%
in theory and 80% in practical for eligibility to appear for the University examinations in that subject. 75%
attendance in Professional Development Programme (AETCOM Module) is required for eligibility to appear
for final examination in each professional year.

● Student must secure at least 50% of the total marks (combined in theory and practical) and not less than 40% marks separately in theory and practical in order
to be “Eligible” for appearing at the final University examination in the subject of Microbiology.
● As per NMC guidelines, Internal Assessment marks decide the candidates Eligibility to appear for the Final University examination, and are NOT added to the
University Examination marks. However, the final Internal Assessment marks obtained by the candidates are separately depicted on the University marks card.
