attain the COs and competency. The practicals marked as ‘*’ are compulsory, so that the
student reaches the ‘Application Level’ of Bloom's Taxonomy’ as generally required by the
industry.

The above PrOs also comprise of the following social skills/attitudes which are Affective
Domain Outcomes (ADOs) that are best developed through the laboratory/field based
experiences:
a. Work collaboratively in team
b. Follow ethical Practices.
The ADOs are not specific to any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs. Hence, the
acquisition of the ADOs takes place gradually in the student when s/he undertakes a series of
practical experiences over a period of time. Moreover, the level of achievement of the ADOs
according to Krathwohl’s ‘Affective Domain Taxonomy’ should gradually increase as planned
below:
 ‘Valuing Level’ in 1st year
 ‘Organising Level’ in 2nd year and
 ‘Characterising Level’ in 3rd year.

and to teachers to teach and assess students with respect to attainment of LOs. The actual
distribution of marks at different taxonomy levels (of R, U and A) in the question paper may
vary from above table.
10. SUGGESTED STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related
co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various
outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and prepare
reports of about 5 pages for each activity, also collect/record physical evidences for their
(student’s) portfolio which will be useful for their placement interviews:
a. Prepare journal of practical.
b. Undertake micro-projects.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various outcomes in this course:
a. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub
topics.
b. ‘L’ in item No. 4 does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but different
types of teaching methods and media that are to be employed to develop the outcomes.
c. About 15-20% of the topics/sub-topics which is relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is to be given to the students for self-directed learning and assess the
development of the COs through classroom presentations (see implementation
guideline for details).
d. With respect to item No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
e. Use different Audio Visual media for Concept understanding.
f. Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
g. Demonstrate students thoroughly before they start doing the practice.
h. Ensure use of latest version of tools.
i. Encourage students to refer various web sites to have detail understanding of JSP and
related concepts.
j. Encourage students to refer different web-applications to have deeper understanding
of web-applications.
k. Observe continuously the performance of students in laboratory.

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to
him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are
group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably be individually
undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every student to become problem solver so
that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. In special situations where groups have to
be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshop-based,
laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs
which are in fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain
dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work and give a seminar
presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-project should not be less

NITTTR Bhopal-MSBTE/I - Scheme/17

Page 6 of 8
Server Side Scripting Using JSP (CO, IF) Course Code: ................’

than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course. The student ought to submit
micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by
the concerned faculty:

1. Write JSP program to Sort List of Names and Search names from this list. Use array to
store names.
2. Write JSP Program to Evaluate the Result of a Student and display it using TABLE tag.
3. Create simple registration form using servlet and JSP also display registered name on
redirected web page.
4. Create login page which will accept username and password. If three wrong attempts were
made by user, redirect the user to error page else redirect to welcome page. Also perform
all validations required for complete page.
5. Create a student registration form. Store the entered data to database. Also give user the
facility to delete and update student record(s) from the database.

GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING MICRO PROJECTS:

(Implement following relevant guidelines for microprojects)
1. Must implement concepts of servlet and JSP.
2. Use JDBC concepts.
3. Must deploy the sample JSP using web server.
