Instruction Plans

Instructions
Instruction plans for multi-section courses will be formulated by Course Planners appointed by the
HoD-F. For single section courses, the prospective instructors should be the course planners as far
as possible.
The format of the Instruction plans has been prescribed. It is the responsibility of the Course planner
to develop all homework and teaching aids, including the demonstration kits, and arrange for their
procurement and distribution
1. Each IP will be a separate .doc file named IPXXXXXX.doc where XXXXXX is the alphanumeric
code of the course without any blank or hyphen.
2. As far as possible only one textbook will be prescribed. Additional books will be prescribed only
where absolutely essential.
3. Specify only specifically useful web pages. Give complete address and the salient feature of that.
4. Plan for 13×L lectures: 7×L for before the MTE, 6×L for after the MTE. Provide for at least 2×L
spill-over lecture.
5. Each half of the plan should be divided into two halves each.
6. Mark the location of the MTE after 7*L lectures.
7. While planning homework, follow the scheduling guidelines given below.
8. At least 6 clear days should be given for students to complete a homework.
9. Nature of homework refers to if it is an individual or group homework, if it is common to all
students or not.
10. Copies of the Instruction plans will be made available to all instructors (through the HoD-Ss) as
soon as the load allotment is made.
11. Every instructor will complete the due reports within the specified time and submit them to HoD-S
who, in turn, will forward them to HoD-F.
12. Wherever there is no HoD-F, the responsibility mentioned in the following pages passes on to
HoF
13. Wherever there is no HoD-S, the responsibility mentioned in the following pages passes on to
HoS

 GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING OF LAB CLASSES

1. There are two conflicting set of requirements in any lab course:

(a) The need to have an experiment follow the material taught in the lab, and the need for detailed
instructions, on one hand, and
(b) The need to reduce the requirement of equipment on the other.
2. Depending on the cost of the equipment required, we may offer a lab course in any of the
following modes:
Whenever the cost of equipment is minor, we may do one experiment a day, with all students doing
the same experiment on a given day. It must be ensured that no more than 4 students work on a
set-up.
The students groups may not work serially - since the lab work should be long enough to engage
a student for at least 75% of the class time. Where the cost of equipment is not very low – but
neither very high, we may use 4 sets of 3 experiments each. In this case, each class group will
be divided in 9 groups of about 3 students each, and 3 set -ups of each experiment will be required.
The instructions for the three experiments will be furnished in the first half hour of the class.
In the next category, we may have two sets of five experiments with one set-up for each
experiment. One set will be completed before the MTE and the other after MTE. In this case, the
very first turn should be used to explain all five experiments to all students.
In the last category are those experiments where equipment is very expensive, and hence only
one set - up may be used for each experiment. In such cases, the first and second lab classes of
the semester may be used to demonstrate all experiments to all students, and the students will
subsequently do all on their own with minimum of instructions on each experiment. A total of ten
experiments will be possible in this case.
3. The evaluation is to be done in two phases: phase 1 on the conduct of experiment has to be done
while the student is conducting the experiment, and the phase II on the write-up, results and
conclusion are to be done on the next turn. If the student is absent on the next turn, the evaluation
may be done whenever he is present for the first time thereafter. In short, on each turn a student
has to be evaluated (at her/his seat) on the result and discussion of the last experiment and on the
conduct of the current experiment.
4. Good lab manuals must be ready before the beginning of the next term – properly vetted by the
HoDs.

 Course Report by Teacher

(for all courses with or without lab)

1. Course reports are to be regularly updated throughout the term.

2. It is to be monitored by HOD-S one week before the MTE and at the end of the course, i.e.,
within the first week of the end term examination

3. The completed reports should be sent to HoD-F through HoD-S.

4. The reports will then be filed in the Master Course File and retained in the office of the HoD-F,
who will use it for the end-term review of course syllabus, and will pass on the file to the
Instruction Planner for the course in the new term.
