4 Tutorial Details

Tutorials are an important part of undergraduate learning. The tutorial policy provides a
framework and the principles for an integrated tutorial provision and a guideline as to how it
should operate in practice. The Policy places tutorials within the learning, teaching and
assessment experience of the course and recognizes that tutors play an important role in the
early detection of issues related to learning and associated support needs. It acknowledges that
tutorials are essential from the student’s point of view primarily to facilitate better
understanding and closer interaction with the faculty.

5.2 Assessment Policy for Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA)

Assessment of ICA comprises of the following components.

1. Class test 1 and 2

a. Two class tests will be conducted as per the academic calendar.
b. It will be conducted for 20 marks each.

2. Tutorial performance evaluation (20 marks)

Continuous mode of assessment shall be encouraged through tutorial sessions. Each

student shall be evaluated based on the rubrics. The student is expected to solve the
questions assigned by the faculty based on sub topics covered in lectures before the
tutorial turn. Students will have to submit the completed solutions within tutorial slot.
Discussion of the work amongst peers is allowed. However, each student is expected to
submit self-written work. There are 10 tutorials, each carrying weightage of 10 marks.
Rubric: 5 marks for on time submission, 2 marks for solving independently, 2 marks
for neatness and presentation, 1 mark for innovative solution.

3. Assignment and viva (20 marks)

There will be two home assignments of 10 marks each. The students will have 8 days
time to submit each assignment (Submission of Assignment 1- On or before 04/09/2023
& Assignment 2- On or before 20/10/2023).
Rubric: 5 marks for timely submission, 2 marks for proper stepwise solution, 2 marks
for neatness and presentation, 1 mark for innovative solution.

4. Application Presentation (10 marks)

Students shall be asked to choose a topic from the syllabus for presentation and prepare
a power point presentation on the real life problem/ application on the chosen topic.
Time duration for the presentation will be a maximum of 5 minutes. Assessment shall
be based on the rubrics. Students wRubric: 4 marks for application of concept, 4 marks
for presentation skills, 2 marks for understanding.
ill be asked to give presentation from 27/03/2023 to the respective faculty as per their
turn.

5. Class Participation (10 marks)- The faculty will ask some questions in every class
based on the content being taught. The question could be asked to a chosen student or
a student group (which is formed at the beginning of the semester). Marks can be given
to the correct answer. The idea is to encourage students to pay attention in class and
actively participate. These marks will be added in ICA class participation component.

5.3 Assessment Policy for Term End Examination (TEE)

A written examination of 100 hours will be conducted for the course as per the academic
calendar.

7 Teaching-learning methodology
Faculty will make a group of 2-3 students for any group based activity such as class
participation, presentation etc. Lecture and tutorial session will be conducted as follows-
1. Lectures:
o Outline for preliminary study to be done for each unit will be provided prior to
commencement of each unit.
o Deeper concepts and applications will be explained through presentation and video
lectures.
o Numerical problems based on concept will be solved during the session
o The solutions will be very detailed, simple and easy to understand.

2. Tutorial:
o There will be about 12 tutorials to be submitted.
o Regular tutorial assessment will be done. Students will be marked based on
parameters like completion of tutorials, originality, timely submission logic
developed, interaction during the tutorial, punctuality and discipline.

8 Active learning techniques

Active learning is a method of learning in which students are actively or experientially involved
in the learning process. Following active learning techniques will be adopted for the course.
1. The "One Minute Paper": The faculty will ask students to take out a blank sheet of paper,
pose a question (either specific or open-ended), and give them one or two minute(s) to
respond.
2. Think pair share: Students will work together to solve a problem or answer a question
about an assigned reading. This technique requires students to think individually about a
topic or answer to a question; and share ideas with classmates.
3. Blended Learning: Students will be introduced to the topic at home while the faculty will
discuss the in-depth topics, applications and numerical problems in the lecture session.
Outline for preliminary study to be done for each unit will be provided prior to
commencement of each unit. Preliminary study material (video links, presentation, notes,
etc.) will be made available on the student portal. The solutions provided will be very
detailed, simple and easy to understand.
4. Pause procedure: The faculty will make use of strategic pauses to provide students with
time during which they can review their notes, discuss among their pairs or undertake any
similar activity that allows them to clarify the doubts.
5. Polling: A question regarding any concept will be displayed on the screen and responses
of the students will be recorded by raising the hand to understand the level of
understanding.
