Teaching-LearningProcess(GeneralInstructions)

ThesearesampleStrategies,whichteacherscanusetoacceleratetheattainmentofthevariouscourseoutcomes.
1. Lecturer method (L) need not to be only traditional lecture method, but alternative effective
teaching methods could be adopted to attain the outcomes.
2. Use of Video/Animation to explain functioning of various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning)Learning in the class.
4. Ask atleast three HOT(Higher order Thinking) questions in the class,which promotes critical
thinking.
5. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL),which fosters students’ Analytical skills, develop design
thinking skills such as the ability to design, evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than
simply recall it.
6. Introduce Topics in manifold 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 to
improve the students' understanding.
9. Use https://pythontutor.com/visualize.html#mode=edit in order to visualize the operations of C Programs

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). The minimum passing mark
for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 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):
Two Unit Tests each of20 Marks (duration 01 hour)
• First test after the completion of 30-40 % of the syllabus
• Second test after completion of 80-90% of the syllabus
One Improvement test before the closing of the academic term may be conducted if necessary. However best two tests
out of three shall be taken into consideration.
Two assignments each of 10 Marks
The teacher has to plan the assignments and get them completed by the students well before the closing of the term
so that marks entry in the examination portal shall be done in time. Formative (Successive) Assessments include
Assignments/Quizzes/Seminars/ Course projects/Field surveys/ Case studies/ Hands-on practice
(experiments)/Group Discussions/ others. . The Teachers shall choose the types of assignments depending on the
requirement of the course and plan to attain the Cos and POs. (to have a 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 /test question paper is designed to attain the different levels
of Bloom’s taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
The sum of two tests, two assignments, will be out of 60 marks and will be scaled down to 30 marks
CIE for the practical component of the Integrated Course
• On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be evaluated and marks
shall be awarded on the same day. The15 marks are for conducting the experiment and preparation of the
laboratory record, the other 05 marks shall be for the test conducted at the end of the semester.
• The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the continuous evaluation of
the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be evaluated for 10 marks. Marks of all experiments’ write-
ups are added and scaled down to 15 marks.
• The laboratory test (duration 02/03 hours) at the end of the 14th /15th week of the semester /after
completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50 marks and scaled down to 05
marks.
Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the laboratory component of IPCC
for 20 marks.

Semester End Examination (SEE):

SEE for IC
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled time table, 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.
The theory portion of the Integrated Course shall be for both CIE and SEE, whereas the practical portion
 20.11.2022

will have a CIE component only. Questions mentioned in the SEE paper shall include questions from the
practical component).

Passing standard:

• The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of maximum marks-30) in
the theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks -20) in the practical component. The laboratory
component of the IPCC shall be for CIE only. However, in SEE, the questions from the laboratory
component shall be included. The maximum of 04/05 questions to be set from the practical component of
IPCC, the total marks of all questions should not be more than 30 marks.
• SEE will be conducted for 100 marks and students shall secure 35% of the maximum marks to qualify for
the SEE. Marks secured will be scaled down to 50.
