INSTRUCTIONS FOR FACULTY

Instructions for Faculty

 Faculty should keep track of the students with low attendance and counsel them regularly.
 Course coordinator will arrange to communicate the short attendance (as per UPES policy) cases
to the students and their parents monthly.
 Topics covered in each class should be recorded in the table of RECORD OF CLASS TEACHING
(Suggested Format).
 Internal assessment marks should be communicated to the students twice in a semester.
 The file will be audited by respective Academic Monitoring and Review Committee (AMRC)
members for theory as well as for lab as per AMRC schedule.
 The faculty is required to maintain these files for a period of at least three years.
 This register should be handed over to the head of the department, whenever the faculty member
goes on long leave or leaves the Colleges/University.
 For labs, continuous evaluation format (break-up given in the guidelines for result preparation in
the same file) should be followed.
 Department should monitor the actual execution of the components of continuous lab evaluation
regularly.
 Instructor should maintain record of experiments conducted by the students in the lab weekly.
 Instructor should promote students for self-study and to make concept diary, due weightage in the

 Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different approaches
have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in different ways
through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is measured through
quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-term examinations. It is suggested that each
examination is designed in such a way that it can address one or two outcomes (depending upon
the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the student survey which needs to be
designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and it shall be conducted towards the end
of course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be done
by analyzing the inputs received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective
actions suggested for further improvement.
