D. Instructional Method & Pedagogy

 At the start of course, the course delivery pattern , prerequisite of the subject will be discussed
 Lecture may be conducted with the aid of multi-media projector, black board, OHP etc. & equal
weightage should be given to all topics while teaching and conduction of all examinations.
 Attendance is compulsory in lectures and laboratory, which may carries five marks in overall
evaluation.
 One/Two internal exams may be conducted and total/average/best of the same may be converted
to equivalent of 30 marks as a part of internal theory evaluation.
 Assignment based on course content will be given to the student for each unit/topic and will be
evaluated at regular interval. It may carry an importance of ten marks in the overall internal
evaluation.
 Surprise tests/Quizzes/Seminar/Tutorial may be conducted and having share of five marks in the
overall internal evaluation.
