COURSEPACK

FRAMEWORK

The Course Pack is a comprehensive and complete pedagogical guideline document that describes the
components of instruction delivery by a faculty member. It consists of the scheme of the course, Course
Overview, Course Objectives,Prerequisite course, Program-specific Outcomes (PSOs), Course outcomes (COs),
Bloom’s taxonomy (Knowledge Levels), Types of Courses, Course articulation matrix, Course assessment
patterns, Course content, Lesson Plan, Bibliography, Problem-based learning/case-studies/clinical, and
Student-Centred learning (self-learning towards life-long-learning).It not only provides a uniform design of
Course delivery across the University but also ensures freedom and flexibility to introduce innovations in
learning and teaching and create vivid kinds of assessment tools (alternate assessment tools) by a faculty
member.
The course pack is developed by the faculty member teaching a course. If more than one facultyteaches the
same course, all the faculty members teaching the course shall be formed as a cluster,and a senior faculty
member (Course-lead) lead the Course delivery design in a team effort. TheCourse Pack provides ample
scope and opportunity to bring innovations in teaching pedagogies in aschool/department.
Hence, the Course pack is a comprehensive learning-teaching strategy framework to be followed by all the
faculty members in schools/departments in the university. It is not only a tool for measuringthe learning of a
class but also analyses the achievement levels (learning outcomes of the course) ofall the students in a class in a
continuous manner.

12. COURSE ASSESSMENT

Assessment forms an integral part of curriculum design. A learning-teaching system can only be effective
if the student’s learning is measured at various stages which means while the student processes learning
(Assessment for Learning)a given content and after completely learning a defined content (Assessment of
Learning). Assessment for learning isreferred to as formative assessment, that is, an assessment designed to
inform instruction. The ability to use and apply the knowledge in different ways may not be the focus of the
assessment. With regard to designing assessments, the faculty members must be willing to put in the time
required to create a valid, reliable assessment, that ideally would allow students to demonstrate their
understanding of the information while remaining. The following are the five main areas that assessment
reporting should cover.
1. Learning Outcomes: At the completion of a program, students are expected to know their knowledge, skills,
and attitude. Depending on whether it is a UG or PG program, the level of sophistication may be different.
There shouldbe no strict rule on the number of outcomes to be achieved, but the list should be reasonable,
and well-organized.
2. Assessable Outcomes: After a given learning activity, the statements should specify what students can
do todemonstrate. Criteria for demonstration are usually addressed in rubrics and there should be specific
examples ofwork that doesn’t meet expectations, meets expectations, and exceeds expectations. One of
the main challengesis faculty communication whether all faculty agreed on explicit criteria for assessing
each outcome. This can be adifficult accomplishment when multiple sections of a course are taught or
different faculty members. Hence thereis a need for common understanding among the faculty on what is
assessed and how it is assessed.
3. Assessment Alignment: This design of an assessment is sometimes in the form of a curriculum map, which
can be created in something as easy as an Excel spreadsheet. Courses should be examined to see which
program outcomesthey support, and if the outcome is assessed within the course. After completion,
program outcomes should bemapped to multiple courses within the program.
4. Assessment Planning: Faculty members need to have a specific plan in place for assessing each outcome.
Outcomesdon’t need to be assessed every year, but faculty should plan to review the assessment data over a

: for internal circulation only : 11

COURSEPACK
FRAMEWORK
reasonable periodof time and develop a course of action if the outcome is not being met.
5. Student Experience: Students in a program should be fully aware of the expectations of the program. The
programoutcomes are aligned on the syllabus so that students are aware of what course outcomes they
are required tomeet, and how the program outcomes are supported. Assessment documents should clearly
communicate what isbeing done with the data results and how it is contributing to the improvement of the
program and curriculum.
Designing quality assessment tools or tasks involves multiple considerations if it is to be fit for purpose. The
set ofassessments in a course should be planned to provide students with the opportunity to learn as they
engage withformative tasks as well as the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through summative
tasks. Encouraging thestudent through the use of realistic, authentic experiences is an exciting challenge
for the course faculty team, whoare responsible for the review and quality enhancements to assessment
practices.

14. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

a) Formative Assessment
The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used
by CourseFaculty to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically,
formative assessmentshelp students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need work,
and faculty members recognizewhere students are struggling and address problems immediately. Examples of
formative assessments include Mid TermExam (MTE) as well as asking students to:
Draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topic
Submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture
Turn in a research proposal for early feedback

b) Summative assessment
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of a Course by comparing it
against somestandard or benchmark. Examples of summative assessments include:

a final project
a paper
Semester-End Examination (For courses running in Semester mode)
End-Term Examination (For courses running in Annual Mode)

: for internal circulation only : 12

 Information from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or faculty use itto guide
their efforts and activities in subsequent courses.
c) Weightage
The formative and summative assessments are given 50-50 weightage to ensure proper learning levels among the
students.

17. STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING (SELF-LEARNING TOWARDS LIFE-LONG-

LEARNING)
Self-Learning, self-doing, and application of the knowledge acquired through the course after gaining adequate
knowledge
It’s a typical course-based project to be carried out by a whole class in groups of four students each; they should exhibit
higher level Knowledge Levels (Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy). Toenhancetheirskillsetintheintegratedcourse,thestudents
areadvisedtoexecutecourse-based Design projects.
The students, in a group not exceeding 4, are expected to conceive an idea based on the content (objectives/ outcomes)
and apply the suitable knowledge to demonstrate their ability to learn.
A list of 30-40 project statements can be offered to the students to choose or develop their own ideas (teamwork) to
define a problem statement, design and develop a product/ process/service/application, and provide a suitable solution
(design thinking). They may also upload this Idea on the Yukti Portal (contact the University IIC Team) and also patent the
same.
