 Message of the Chairman

The Indian higher education system is one of the oldest and largest in the world with 903 universities including Instituions of
National Importance, 41, 012 colleges, 3.66 crore students and 12.84 lakh teachers. This massification of higher education
brings along with it many issues which confront the higher education of our country today like, the issues of access, equity,
relevance, quality, management and financing.

The ICT plays a major role in addressing these issues. In this context, Massive Open online courses are very successfully
bridging the digital divide as through these courses quality education can be brought at the doorstep of every learner at
virtually no cost. I congratulate the Ministry of Human Resource Development for this noble initiative which will bring a marked
improvement in the quality of education being imparted in our country.The project would also help the students and teachers to
update their knowledge and skills especially for those located in rural/backward/remote areas and would help the nation move
towards an information-rich society.

I congratulate, Prof Rajnish Jain, Secretary, UGC, Dr(Mrs) Pankaj Mittal, Additional Secretary, UGC and her team in bringing
out this document which will be very handy information booklet for our Vice Chancellors.

Wishing you all the best.

Prof. D P Singh

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR
Prof. Zargar Zahoor was born in the blessed vale of Kashmir. Zahoor's talent manifested itself when he was still a boy, and by 1971 he decided to be an artist. In that
year he was admitted to the prestigious M.S. University of Baroda. Prodigiously gifted as indeed he was, Zahoor had the fortune to work under the stalwarts of
Indian art in Baroda including Ghulam Mohammad Sheikh, Jeram Patel, K.G. Subramanyam and others.

He is recipient of innumerable national and international awards and honours, Prof. Zahoor joined Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi in 1985 and rendered his services
with full devotion till his retirement as Professor and Head of the Department of Applied Art in the year 2015. In the enormous range of his work and in its intrinsic
qualities, Prof. Zargar Zahoor has, beyond doubt, achieved mastery in Landscape Painting and Portrait Painting as well as in Applied Art.

He has designed many books and given various special lectures at many places in India and abroad. Prof. Zahoor has to his credit many solo exhibitions and group
shows. He was invited to many workshops as expert for awards and scholarships. His collection of paintings is spread all around the world.

In fact there is a strong consistency about the evolution of his work throughout his unremitting painting life. As a painter he is happy with the fleeting aspect of
weather, avalanches and deluges. Of course they are not the only aspects of nature with which he is happy, nor is he obsessed with them. In fact, his refined
brushstrokes can magically convey in paint a sense of enchanted serenity and tranquility at large. His scrutiny of nature composes a picture almost from the start
but he could grow trees and rocks within. His innovation in technique enables him to create brilliant light by a harmony of light tones instead of by a contrast of light
with dark tones. It is a simple impressionistic innovation but a revolutionary one.

discussed. Finally, extensions are made to several interdependent regression equations.

LEARNING OUTCOME
The student would be versed in the standard econometric techniques. This includes methods for choosing a
proper model; ways of handling violations of classical assumptions like heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation and
multiocollinearity; tackling interdependent variables in regression models through simultaneous equations

TYPE OF COURSE : Science Undergraduate (UG) COURSE DURATION : 17 weeks (6 Aug 2018 & 10 Dec.2018)
INTENDED AUDIENCE : UG EXAM DATE : 13/14 December, 2018 - tentative
NO OF CREDITS : 4
PRE-REQUISITES : Graduate Geology Students or any other students within and outside India are interested in
course can enroll.
OBJECTIVE OF COURSE
This course is a basic to advance introduction for the undergraduate students pursuing Honours degree in Geology/ B.Sc.
Geology/ Engineering Graduate for Civil and Mining. The term petrology comes from the ancient Greek word Petra “rock” and
Logos “explanation” that means the study of rocks and their processes of origin. Such study includes description and
classification of rocks as well as interpretation of their origin. Petrology is subdivided into three major rock types:
sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. Igneous and metamorphic petrology are combined, due to the similarity of
approach and principle involved during their formation. So I highly intended this course is either a combined igneous and
metamorphic or two separate ones, for the interest of students, So in this course, I will cover Metamorphic petrology. This
course deals with the naturally occurring rocks in field as well as laboratory analysis data that provide sufficient information
how they occur in the nature. It gives idea of modern petrological theories which are widely accepted for their origin. The
course definitly provides better understanding to students for the processes and principles involved during the origin and
evolution of the metamorphic rocks.

LEARNING OUTCOME
The Course aims to make to the students well-versed with the strength of Metmorphic Petrology theory applications in the field of Geology. The course definitly
provides better understanding to students for the processes and principles involved during the origin and evolution of the metamorphic rocks. I hope it will be
useful for the geology students within and outside India.

OBJECTIVE OF COURSE
We are going to tell you through science of layers and biology of rocks that the past events on earth can at least be partially
traced. Sediments are usually laid down in rivers, oceans and lakes as strata preserving hard and sometimes even soft and
delicate parts of the life forms that can in turn be visualised as space-time slices. These preservations reveal many interesting
features related to evolution of living creatures and their billions of descendents. Now, you can have a chance to think like
who saw the world for the first time and how the present life forms were evolved.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Biology is the science of life forms and living processes. The living world comprises a wide diversity of organisms. The observation of the diverse
forms of life on earth was made initially through the naked eyes and later by using instruments such as magnifying lenses and microscopes. The
organisms were described on the basis of observed structural features, both external and internal. The detailed description of life forms on the
basis of appearance external and internal features brought out their concept of diversity. It is the cell theory that emphasised the unity
underlying this diversity of forms, i.e., the cellular organisation of all life forms. Cell theory also created a sense of mystery around living
phenomena, i.e., physiological and behavioural processes. This mystery was the requirement of integrity of cellular organisation for living
phenomena to be demonstrated or observed. This is a 6 months course. Each week, one module containing eText, Video tutorial along with Self
Assessment and Weblinks for extra study will be released.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The world around us has an astonishing variety of phenomenon. Physics gives us a chance to take a close look and try to understand these. We
have evidence to support the work since ancient times by thinkers, philosophers and scientists, who tried to unravel the mystery around us. The
excitement of learning to do systematic scientific work is the root of this course. You will learn methods of
measurement-including universally accepted norms. Kinematics and Dynamics, one that helps us realise how
things move and the other what causes them to move. Some energy is required to move things and we will
define some scientific terminology in a way that communication about physics to others is easy. This course is
designed on NCERT textbook pattern. It is intended for the students of 23 Class XI, Semester 1 specific, and
others interested in general. This is a 6 months course. Each week, module(s) containing eText, Video tutorial
along with Self Assessment questions and Weblinks for extra study will be provided for learning.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Physics Course 2 covers the second book of physics for class 11.The course starts with bulk properties of matter, giving scientific names to many
phenomenon that we observe around us . Why materials show peculiar behaviour in different states is analysed .This part is therefore very
exciting .We will cover kinetic theory of gases and thermodynamics .Both these units will help us to justify the
behavior of gases for innumerable uses related to getting mechanical work done by heat .The challenging unit on
oscillations and waves has been dealt with differently to explain kinematics and dynamic of oscillators. Wave
motion as a method of energy propagation and properties of waves, the cases of superposition are explained
with simplicity. The course has 4 units covered over 42 modules for better understanding. Based on feedback
from teachers and students we have included modules after completion of each unit to enhance the unit by
additional examples and explanations.

OBJECTIVES
Understand bulk properties of matter
Relate to kinetic theory of gases
Recognise thermodynamics
Appreciate oscillatory motion and wave propagation

ABOUT THE COURSE
Physics Course 4 covers the second book of physics for class 12. The units in this book provide motivation to
learners to move towards intricate concepts of Physics. The nature of research and demand to know more has
led to continuous and deeper understanding of reasons behind observed phenomenon. The course has 5 units
spread over 43 modules. We start with optics and study it under ray optics, kind of macroscopic view of light
and its interaction with objects around us. Wave optics, which proposes a microscopic explanation of the
phenomenon of interference, diffraction and polarization. These cannot be explained using ray optics. The unit
on dual nature of radiation and matter will present a unique view. The continuous and path breaking studies in
quantum mechanics can be understood only if we understand initial scientific work which is in the unit of atoms
and nuclei. Surrounded by electronics and technology, one will appreciate the unit on semiconductors and
electronic devices. The unit is challenging as many new ideas will come up in the course. likewise, the unit on
communication will seem very basic, as there is fast scientific development in this field. The course does not
demand high level of mathematics however, you will need to be regular as connections between various
segments require deeper study and higher order thinking.

OBJECTIVES
Appreciate the need to study ray and wave optics
Ÿ Learn basics of dual nature of radiation and matter
Ÿ Know composition about atoms and nuclei and distribution of its constituents, radioactivity and nuclear energy
Ÿ Understand the behaviour of semiconductors and their application in making electronic devices
Ÿ Exposure to present day communication system

ABOUT THE COURSE

Sociology is a study of society but you will be puzzled to understand that what is there in this society to study
the subject of sociology is very interesting as it helps us to understand the very society in which we live without
sometimes realizing that it is so society in which we live without sometimes realizing that it is so society in
which we live without sometimes realizing that it is so society in which we live without sometimes realizing
that it is so political institutions economic institutions etc what do sociologists do sociologists try to
understand the nature and composition of these various sociologists try to understand the nature and
composition of these various sociologists attempt to understand that what is the structure of family say for
example if you are talking about family as an institution how many family types are there what are the
functions of the family so these are the various aspects that sociologists try to understand so now
understanding what is sociology we can say that sociology is an academic or a systematic study of society which
emerged in Europe during 17 th and 18 th century it is also very important for the students of sociology to
understand that how did the discipline of sociology emerge and develop you will be exploring about the social
conditions in which the academic study of society began and how various sociologists later on from Europe and
later on from India contributed towards understanding of social system myself dr. Heath L Sharma along with
Professor Manju Burt will be taking you through the interesting journey of making sense of social systems in
which we operate in everyday life will be taking examples from everyday life to make our understanding

The subject of psychology, which deals with human mind, behaviour and human relationship, can most
appropriately lend itself to teaching with humanistic perspective. Such a perspective aims at enriching
students knowledge as well as inspiring and awakening their curiosity, positive feelings, desire to learn,
openness, exploration of self and others, etc. Such an approach is also conducive to their personal
development and inculcation of positive attitude and love for the subjects. As for class XI students psychology
will be a new subject, it would be important to dwell on the potential of the subject, it value in daily life and
various career possibilities. Students, it is expected, will be made aware of the empirical nature of the
discipline and the importance of adopting scientific approach in studying human behaviour. This course
consists of nine chapters on topics considered essential for an introductory course in psychology like learning,
thinking, memory, motivation and emotion, etc. Efforts have been made to provide linkages across and within
the chapters to maintain continuity and holistic perspective. Meaningful contexts have been provided to relate
the subject matter with day-to-day life.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Psychology is one of the youngest sciences but one of the fastest growing. There are many who believe that the
21st century is going to be the century of biological sciences along with psychological sciences. Development in
the fields of neurosciences, as well as physical sciences have opened new doors to solve the mysteries of mind
and behaviour. There is no human endeavor which is going to remain unaffected by this new knowledge which
is getting created. One only hopes that it will enable people to live their lives more meaningful and to organise
human system better. Contents of the course will cover like variations in psychological attributes, personality,
attitude psychological disorders, group processes etc., efforts have been made to provide linkages across and
within the chapters to maintain continuity and holistic perspective. The course will introduce you to the

ABOUT THE COURSE
It is a course which offers understanding of the various principles of microeconomics. Here effort has been
made to familiarize learners with the beauty of economic analysis without burdening them with the technical
details. Here, there is discussion on the various aspects of consumer behavior, producer behavior and their
interaction in the market. One such market i.e perfect market includes discussion on how to maximize
efficiency and generate surplus for both consumers and the producers. Such a market is very rare in the
economy. Thus there is also a discussion on different types of imperfect market like monopoly etc. We hope
these steps will take us significantly towards the child centered education as advocated in the National Policy
of Education (1986). The course will motivate the teachers to reflect on their own teaching and treat children
as participant in learning.
The course will deal with “ Microeconomics” from class XII Economics. This is a 6 months duration course (26
weeks). Every two week/one week one module will deliver. Each module of the course will have four
quadrants, text, video, weblinks (to know more about the concept from other resources over the web), self
assessment questions (MCQs, true/false, one word answers etc.).

OBJECTIVE OF COURSE
The present EVS syllabus for primary classes is designed to forge an integrated perspective for the primary stage of schooling that draws upon insights from Science, Social Science
and Environmental Education. Environmental education is about helping learners become global citizens with critical thinking skills; sensitivities and respect for the natural
environment; and pragmatism towards the socio-economic environment. This Course will help you strengthen your understanding of environment and environmental education. It

Within the formal education system, the curriculum and textbooks provide the vital link between policy and practice; however no learning process can be successful if left only to the
curriculum and textbooks. The key to the formal education system is the teacher. Teacher's active participation and innovativeness is crucial for effective teaching and learning to
take place. In addition to the subject of 'environment', the Course also deal with a variety of teaching- learning techniques which will help you create a learning environment in your
classrooms which is congenial for child-centred and child-driven learning. The Course module has been designed in a way so that it will empower you with new ideas for effective
transaction of environmental studies at the primary stage of education. We hope that you will find this Course useful in accomplishing the mission of environmental studies in formal
education.
