i. A suggestive list of PrOs is given in the above table. More such PrOs can be added to
attain the COs and competency. All the above listed practical need to be performed
compulsorily, so that the student reaches the ‘Applying Level’ of Blooms’s ‘Cognitive
Domain Taxonomy’ as generally required by the industry.
ii. The ‘Process’ and ‘Product’ related skills associated with each PrO are to be assessed
according to a suggested sample given below:

S. No. Performance Indicators Weightage in %

The above PrOs also comprise of the following social skills/attitudes which are Affective
Domain Outcomes (ADOs) that are best developed through the laboratory/field based
experiences:
a. Handle HTML , PHP and MYSQL server.
b. Experiments with web application using PHP.
c. Plan , Develop, Validate and Host web application.
d. Demonstrate working as a leader or a team member.
e. Follow ethical practices.

The ADOs are not specific to any one PrO, but are embedded in many PrOs. Hence, the
acquisition of the ADOs takes place gradually in the student when s/he undertakes a series of
practical experiences over a period of time. Moreover, the level of achievement of the ADOs
according to Krathwohl’s ‘Affective Domain Taxonomy’ should gradually increase as planned
below:
 ‘Valuing Level’ in 1st year
 ‘Organising Level’ in 2nd year
 ‘Characterising Level’ in 3rd year.

and to teachers to teach and assess students with respect to attainment of UOs. The actual
distribution of marks at different taxonomy levels (of R, U and A) in the question paper may
vary from above table.

10. SUGGESTED STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Other than the classroom and laboratory learning, following are the suggested student-related
co-curricular activities which can be undertaken to accelerate the attainment of the various
outcomes in this course:
a. Prepare journal of practicals.
b. Undertake micro-projects.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various learning outcomes in this course:
a. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be used to teach various topics/sub
topics.
b. ‘L’ in item No. 4 does not mean only the traditional lecture method, but different
types of teaching methods and media that are to be employed to develop the outcomes.
c. About 15-20% of the topics/sub-topics which is relatively simpler or descriptive in
nature is to be given to the students for self-directed learning and assess the
development of the COs through classroom presentations (see implementation
guideline for details).
d. With respect to item No.10, teachers need to ensure to create opportunities and
provisions for co-curricular activities.
e. Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects.
f. Demonstrate students thoroughly before they start doing the practice.
g. Encourage students to refer different websites to have deeper understanding of the
subject.
h. Observe continuously and monitor the performance of students in Lab.

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student assigned to him/her in the
beginning of the semester. S/he ought to submit it by the end of the semester to develop the
industry oriented COs. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs which are in
fact, an integration of PrOs, UOs and ADOs. The micro-project could be industry application
based, internet-based, workshop-based, laboratory-based or field-based. Each student will
have to maintain dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work

NITTTR Bhopal-MSBTE/I - Scheme/17

Page 7 of 9
Programming in ‘C’ (Computer Group) Course Code: ................’

and give a seminar presentation of it before submission. The total duration of the micro-
project should not be less than 16 (sixteen) student engagement hours during the course.

In the first four semesters, the micro-project could be group-based. However, in higher
semesters, it should be individually undertaken to build up the skill and confidence in every
student to become problem solver so that s/he contributes to the projects of the industry. A
suggestive list is given here. Similar micro-projects could be added by the concerned faculty:

a. Develop web application for student attendance management system.

b. Develop web application for-
i. sending plain text email.
ii. sending HTML message.
iii. sending emails with attachment
c. Develop web application for Library Management system.
d. Develop web application for Student feedback system.

(Any other micro-projects suggested by subject faculty on similar line.

(Use structure and other features of ‘C’ to develop above listed applications)
