Mode of delivery, planned learning activities and teaching method: Project 2 hrs / weekly
Recommended Year /Semester: B.Tech. Biotechnology, Year 1/ Semester I
Project Assessment:
Ideas of project:
Defining projects ideas is crucial for setting realistic expectations and laying out a clear
vision for a project life cycle. Project-based learning not only provides opportunities for
students to collaborate or drive their own learning, but it also teaches them skills such as
problem solving, and helps to develop additional skills integral to their future, such as critical
thinking and time management.
Literature survey:
A literature review establishes familiarity with and understanding of current research in a
particular field before carrying out a new investigation. Conducting a literature review should
enable you to find out what research has already been done and identify what is unknown
within your topic.
Attendance:
In ongoing semester attendance are important for students. They are expected to do their
project in the semester that is timetabled. The criteria of attendance are given below.
