d. 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

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

Data and computer network Course Code: 224 1 4
outcomes in this course: Students should conduct following activities in group and p reports
of about 5 pages för each activity, also collect/record physical evidence (student's) portfolio
which will be useful for their placement interviews: A. Prepare specilication table for Guided
media and Unguided media.
B. Classify network connecting devices with their specifications.

11. SUGGESTED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES (if any)

These are sample strategies, which the teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the
various 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. Use animations to explain various network topologies,OSI Layers,network connecting
devices.
f. Guide student(s) in undertaking micro-projects

12. SUGGESTED MICRO-PROJECTS

Only one micro-project is planned to be undertaken by a student that needs to be assigned to
him/her in the beginning of the semester. In the first four semesters, the micro-project are
group-based. However, in the fifth and sixth semesters, it should be preferably 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. In special situations where groups have to
be formed for micro-projects, the number of students in the group should not exceed three.
The micro-project could be industry application based, internet-based, workshopbased,
laboratory-based or field-based. Each micro-project should encompass two or more COs
which are in fact, an integration of Pros, UOs and ADOs. Each student will have to maintain
dated work diary consisting of individual contribution in the project work 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. The student ought to submit
micro-project by the end of the semester to develop the industry oriented COs.
A suggestive list of Inicro-projects are given here. Similar micro-projects could be added
by the concerned faculty:
a. Create a small Network install, configure various devices and perform at least one
peer-to-peer service and client/server service over it.
b. Prepare a report on recent and widely used Unguided media in industries depending on
Cost, speed, efficiency, reliability.
c. Design layout of a Network for department, Deciding upon type of network,
nunlber/length of components with their specifications.
