EVALUATION

The faculty marks are provided on the assignments done on time. Case studies, unit tests, unit presentations,
attendance and active participation are the bases for the marks.
Unit test will be taken according to the plan. So be regular in the class. No marks will be provided to
absentees in tests and presentations. There will be no chance for repeated unit test.

ASSIGNMENTS AND CASE STUDIES:

Today, organizations expect workers to be effective team players. In discovery learning, you have to work in
team. Learning by self discovery helps to retain this longer in you. So be creative and innovative in
assignments and case studies. Do not rely only on course book for assignments.

My Strong Suggestions:
The college suggests you to go through the respective unit before you come to the class. Please feel free to
reach us should you need further clarification.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The college expects you to:

Read the assigned materials prior to each class

Take notes as appropriate during class,
Prepare assignments and be ready for class presentation,
Attend class regularly, participate in class discussion and behave mature

Use the course books, course materials, internet, regularly for timely updates and
completion of assignments
Study the course book in depth.

ASSUMPTIONS
We hope the environment will be supportive from the college management as well as from the
students to achieve the requirements as per the plan.

Thank You.
