EC-938: Seminar Course Design

Course Objectives: To train the M.Tech students in the Art & Science of teaching,

assessment and evaluation so that after Post-Graduation they can be effective and good

teachers. The course also gives opportunity to the students to explore various new paradigms

of pedagogy and integrate them in their course delivery for effective and dynamic transfer of

knowledge that they will be called upon to do as a teacher. Further, the course provides for

the content exploration on the web to enrich their own knowledge in the most recent topics

and areas of enquiry which can open the possibility of conducting research and creating new

knowledge in the chosen area.

Course Learning Outcomes:

1. The student after completing the course should be able to create course content on the

assigned topics.

2. Develop perspective on how to arrange, organize and deliver the knowledge that he/

she collects from the various sources like books, web sources and also from journals

etc. related to the topic.

3. The student should also be able to understand the difference between plagiarism and

actual content development by knowledge mining from the available resources.

4. The student shall understand what are the different pedagogical techniques and how to

apply them and for which conditions.

5. The students shall also learn how to assess and evaluate the course delivery, the

content creation and the learning attributes by actually participating in the peer

evaluation process in every part of these activities individually and in groups.

6. The student shall be able to translate his / her learning into group learning by this

course which shall be also evaluated by the mentoring teacher who is the course

Instructor.

Course Title and Syllabus: The subject matter to be allotted for this course must not be

same or similar to any course or its syllabus already being taught to the candidates, but must

be on new topics which are the latest in their area of specialization. In order to ensure that the

same topic is given to every student going through the M. Tech. program in different

Colleges/Institutes for that specialization the different teachers from that specialization shall

propose the course with content to the University one semester in advance and then the

University through its BOS in that area shall select the course title for ensuing academic

session. This selected course will then be announced by the University for that academic

session and the same shall be followed by all the colleges offering M. Tech. in that

specialization.

The course title shall not be repeated in the next year, but the same process shall be repeated

to select a new course title and content for the succeeding year.

Course Distribution & Evaluation: The course shall have V Units as in any other course of

the University and the M. Tech. batch of students shall be divided into a number of groups

depending upon the strength of the class and each Unit allotted one Unit of the course as per

the group choice. Every member of the group can then select the portion that he/ she would

like to deliver lectures on. Normally every student shall have to deliver 2 lectures on the topic

of his / her selection and the same may be done in one slot or in a round robin manner

depending upon the direction of the faculty member of the course or as defined in the course.
