General Instructions
1. The logbook is a important document used for recording acquisition of competencies through
various teaching-learning-assessment activities by the student such as,
- Self- directed learning,
- Participation and performance in small group discussions, practical exercises
- Certifiable skills learning (‘Perform’ level competencies)
- Desirable skills learning(‘Show’ how level competencies)
- AETCOM activities
- Participation and achievement in conferences, field activities, other extra-curricular activities
2. It is the responsibility of each student to bring the logbook to the class and get it verified and
signed by the concerned teacher regularly.
3. All the activities mentioned in the logbook are to be verified and signed by the teacher and the
student with date. At the end of the academic year, the entries in the logbook are scrutinizes and
certified by the Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine
4. Proper care and maintenance of the logbook with entries and signatures is utmost
important. This record will be certified by the Head of the Department with regards to a
student’s Eligibility to appear for the summative examination. Therefore, logbook record is
an essential prerequisite for the University Examination
5. As per the NMC Curriculum document, it is expected that, the student has to perform ‘at ‘or
‘above’ the level of expectancy on all the Certifiable skills for the predetermined number of times.
If the student’s performance is below the level of expectancy, the activity is repeated twice and, if
the student still fails to perform as expected, then a remedial teaching-learning session is
conducted. This is in order to ensure that the student becomes competent in predetermined
certifiable competencies.
6. Provision is made to indicate whether the student has participated/performed at or above the
expected level of competency to the students by the faculty.
7. This book can be used as a ready reckoner to gauge the progression of student learning through
his/her performance in formative (day to day) and Internal Assessments (IA). Logbook has
provision for practical for block-wise attendance of the student. Attendance requirements are 75%
in theory and 80% in practical for eligibility to appear for the University examinations in that
subject. 75% attendance in Professional Development Programme (AETCOM Module) is
required for eligibility to appear for final examination in each professional year.
