Glossary of Terms:
1.
Contact Hour (CH) stands for a hour long live session with
students conducted either in a physical classroom or enabled through
technology. In this model of instruction, instructor led sessions will be for
20 CH.
a.
Pre CH = Self Learning done prior to a given contact hour
b.
During CH = Content to be discussed during the contact hour by
the course instructor
c.
Post CH = Self Learning done post the contact hour
2.
RL stands for Recorded Lecture or Recorded Lesson. It is
presented to the student through an online portal. A given RL unfolds as a
sequences of video segments interleaved with exercises
3.
SS stands for Self-Study
to be done as a study of relevant sections from textbooks and reference books.
It could also include study of external resources.
4.
LE stands for Lab Exercises
5.
HW stands for Home Work will consists could be a selection of
problems from the text.

attend the online lectures as per the schedule provided on the Elearn portal.
Evaluation Guidelines:
1.
EC-1 consists of either three Assignments. Students will attempt
them through the course pages on the Elearn portal. Announcements will be made
on the portal, in a timely manner.
2.
For Closed Book tests: No books or reference material of any
kind will be permitted.
3.

reference material (filed or bound) is permitted. However, loose sheets of
paper will not be allowed. Use of calculators is permitted in all exams.
Laptops/Mobiles of any kind are not allowed. Exchange of any material is not
allowed.
4.
If a student is unable to appear for the Regular Test/Exam due
to genuine exigencies, the student should follow the procedure to apply for the
Make-Up Test/Exam which will be made available on the Elearn portal. The
Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected exam centres on the dates
to be announced later.
It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be
regular in maintaining the self study schedule as given in the course handout,
attend the online lectures, and take all the prescribed evaluation components
such as Assignment , Mid-Semester Test and Comprehensive Exam according to the
evaluation scheme provided in the handout.
