Micro project
A suggestive list of micro-projects is given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by concerned faculty:
a) Prepare the report on case study of Amazon Cloud Services.
b) Prepare the report on case study of Google App Engine.
c) Create infrastructure as service using OpenStack.
d) Develop Personal Cloud using Raspberry Pi or any equivalent platform.
Note :
Above is just a suggestive list of microprojects and assignments; faculty must prepare their own bank of
microprojects, assignments, and activities in a similar way.
The faculty must allocate judicial mix of tasks, considering the weaknesses and / strengths of the student in
acquiring the desired skills.
If a microproject is assigned, it is expected to be completed as a group activity.
SLA marks shall be awarded as per the continuous assessment record.
For courses with no SLA component the list of suggestive microprojects / assignments/ activities are
optional, faculty may encourage students to perform these tasks for enhanced learning experiences.
If the course does not have associated SLA component, above suggestive listings is applicable to Tutorials
and maybe considered for FA-PR evaluations.
