Teaching-Learning Process
Teachers can use these sample strategies to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.
1. Lecturer methods (L) need not to be only a traditional lecture method, but alternative effective teaching
methods could be adopted to attain the outcomes.
2. Use of Video/Animation to explain the functioning of various concepts.
3. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class.
4. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ analytical and thinking skills such as the
ability to design, evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall it.
5. Discuss how every concept can be applied to the real world and when that's possible, it helps improve the
students' understanding.
6. Use any of these methods: Chalk and talk method/PowerPoint Presentation, Active Learning, Case Studies.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The
minimum passing mark for the CIE is 50% of the maximum marks. The minimum passing mark for the SEE is
40% of the maximum marks of SEE. A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements
and earned the credits allotted to each subject/course if the student secures not less than 50% (50 Marks out
of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination)
taken together.
