Total Teaching Hours for Semester:60 No of Lecture Hours/Week:4
Max Marks:100 Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
A thorough knowledge about the cell components, their functions and
biochemical pathways is a prerequisite to the study of molecular biology. In
this paper the students are made to learn the structures and purposes of basic
components of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Students get an idea about
how these cellular components perceive the environmental signal and
respond to them in the language of signal transduction. They also learn the
mechanism of mitotic and meiotic cell division and the relevance of
accurate transfer of genetic material during cell division. The chapters on
genetics make them appreciate the flow of inherited characters from one
generation to the other.
Learning Outcome
The students can apply their knowledge of cell biology and genetics to
selected examples of changes or losses in cell function as exemplified in
many diseases. This is very much applicable these days when there is a
plethora of information on cellular mechanisms and their role in causing
disease conditions like Cancer.

that the tradition oriented families go through in this age of globalization.
The complexity of issues involved make the students ponder over for a long
time relating them to their own personal lives.

Along with the concept, training also is given to hone their language skills
touching upon the basic grammar and semantics. Translation is also given
sufficient attention making it a part of evaluation.

documents the emerging voices among the marginalized groups that are
satirical, self critical and agonizing. The degeneration noticed in the
public institutions and in the social structure gets reflected in the value
system followed in the society with the intrusion of hypocrisy,
exploitation and inhuman behavior. In short these creative works are the
expressions of the age we are living in.
Learning Outcome
Students are made aware of the harsh social realities born out of the
hierarchical Indian social system. This is also a testimony to the faulty
governance at the higher levels and the undying humanism that is found at

Course Objectives

The Course is taught for students from different streams, namely, BA,
BSc,,BCom
and BBM in the first year and for BA, BSc and BCom in the second year.
The course

objectives of one syllabus for all the streams are:

• to introduce the students to look at SELF through Literature

• to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across curriculum

• to improve language skills – reading, writing and listening

• to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking

Learning Outcome
Additional English paper is offered as a second language paper. The paper
seeks to

expose the students to the nuances of English literature in its varied forms
and genres.

The students who choose Additional English are generally proficient in

English language.

Hence, instead of focusing on introducing them to language, challenging

texts in terms of

themes, form, and technique are chosen.

Finding the SELF has been the preoccupation of individuals, communities

and nations.

People as well as nations go through conflicts, dilemmas and realizations in

the process

of recuperating the self. It is a very complex process that most of our

younger generation

is engaged with. Therefore, our Additional English syllabus looks at this

important

process of redefining and recovering self from various perspectives

Moving on to the later periods of Tamil literature, this paper covers the age
of divinity with a few selections from the Bhakti literature
Nalayiradivyaprabandam including the hymns of Andal, Periyalvar,
Kulasekaralvar and Nammalvar. With a view to introducing Bharathiyar in a
different way, his metaphysical poems are included. Theivangalum Samuga
Marabukalum a collection of essays on history and culture gives an
overview of the multiculturalism that India is known for from the time
immemorial
Learning Outcome
Divinity is an essential part of Indian culture. The Bhakti movement
originated in the eighth century spread to the other parts of South India and
each poet had his/her own philosophy of life.

A careful selection of these poems offer a spiritual experience to the

students. Bharatiyar’s metaphysical expressions added to make the students
see each phenomenon in a different way

India. The role played by Saivite Nayanmars and Vaishnavite Alwars
through their soul-filling hymns is explained. Emphasis is given to the
'bridal mysticism' of Andal
Unit-2 Teaching Hours:15
Bharathi as a Metaphysical poet
The national poet Bharathiar is known as a nationalist and romantic poet.
The poems included in the syllabus show the other side of Bharathiar
engaged in a discussion whether beauty is supreme or knowledge. There is
also a poem on Magdalena whose identity never came in the way of her
devotion

to help students develop an understanding of subaltern realities and

identity politics
to inculcate literary sensibility/taste among students across disciplines
to improve language skills –speaking, reading, writing and listening
to equip the students with tools for developing lateral thinking
to equip students with critical reading and thinking habits
to enable them to grasp and appreciate the variety and abundance of
subaltern writing, of which this compilation is just a glimpse
to actively engage with the world as a cultural and social space (to be
facilitated through proactive CIAs which help students to interact and
engage with the realities they face everyday and have come across in
these texts)
to learn and appreciate India and its place in the world through
association of ideas in the texts and the external contexts
to reiterate the study skills and communication skills they developed in
the previous year and extend it.
