Pedagogy (General Instructions)
These are sample Strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes.1. Apart from conventional lecture methods various types of innovative teaching techniques through videos,animation films may be adopted so that the delivered lesson can progress the students in theoretical, applied and practical skills in physics.
2. State the necessity of physics in engineering studies and offer real life examples.
3. Seminars and Quizzes may be arranged for students in respective subjects to develop skills.
4. Encourage the students for group learning to improve their creativity and analytical skills.
5. While teaching show how every concepts can be applied to the real world. This helps the students to expand understanding level.
6. Support and guide the students for self-study.
7. Ask some higher order thinking questions in the class, which promotes critical thinking.
8. Inspire the students towards the studies by giving new ideas and examples.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
(methods of CIE need to be define topic wise i.e.- MCQ, Quizzes, Open book test, Seminar or micro project)The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The student has to obtain minimum of 40% marks individually both in CIE and SEE to pass. Theory Semester End Exam (SEE) is conducted for 100 marks (3 Hours duration). Based on this grading will be awarded.
Continuous Internal Evaluation:
1. Methods suggested: Test, Open Book test, Written Quiz, Seminar, report writing etc.2. The class teacher has to decide the topic for closed book test, open book test, Written Quiz and Seminar. In the beginning only teacher has to announce the methods of CIE for the subject.
Semester End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per scheduled time table, with common question papers for subject1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3 sub questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
3. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module
