Pedagogy (General Instructions)

These are sample Strategies; which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.
1. Lecturer method (L) does not mean only traditional lecture method, but different type of teaching
methods may be adopted to develop the outcomes.
2. Arrange visits to nearby power plants, receiving station and substations to give brief information about
the electrical power generation.
3. Show Video/animation films to explain functioning of various machines
4. Encourage collaborative (Group Learning) Learning in the class
5. Ask at least three HOTS (Higher order Thinking) questions in the class, which promotes critical thinking
6. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters student’s Analytical skills, develop thinking skills
such as the ability to evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall it.
7. Topics will be introduced in a multiple representation.
8. Show the different ways to solve the same problem and encourage the students to come up with their
own creative ways to solve them.

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 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50) and for the SEE minimum
passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the
academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures a minimum of
40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End
Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation:

1. For the Assignment component of the CIE, there are 25 marks and for the Internal Assessment Test component,
there are 25 marks.
2. The first test will be administered after 40-50% of the syllabus has been covered, and the second test will be
administered after 85-90% of the syllabus has been covered
3. Any two assignment methods mentioned in the 22OB2.4, if an assignment is project-based then only one
assignment for the course shall be planned. The teacher should not conduct two assignments at the end of the
semester if two assignments are planned.
4. For the course, CIE marks will be based on a scaled-down sum of two tests and other methods of assessment.
Internal Assessment Test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy as
per the outcome defined for the course.

Semester-End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the
course (duration 03 hours).
5. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.

6. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3
sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
7. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
8. Marks scored shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
