Foreword
The Higher Education environment is changing rapidly in India and particularly so in the year 2014-15, when the Government of Kerala decided to give autonomy to13 educational institutions in the state with the aim of improving quality. Quality in Higher education has been a matter of high concern and priority in India especially after the National Policy on Education 1986 has very categorically questioned the impact of education and suggested many measures for bringing innovative practices in education. The autonomous status asks for more responsibility and increased accountability to frame a curriculum keeping in mind the ever changing academic environment and the plethora of demands placed by the diversity of students who have a high literacy level when it comes to choosing their course. Keeping in mind that the purpose of Higher Education is the development of the people, society and environment, special care has been taken by the IQAC team at St. Teresa’s College to give the necessary Orientation and to conduct Workshops related to curricula and scientific syllabus design as part of the Faculty Development Programme. Curriculum relates to the total experience of the student and it should contain knowledge that is essentially valid. The Graduate and Post Graduate Departments have worked diligently to frame curricula and develop programmes that foster analytical ability and critical thinking and enable the students to acquire the skills required by employers. The pedagogy adopted within the context of curriculum is to facilitate valid transmission of knowledge and proper evaluation of the same. The Courses designed at the Graduate and Post Graduate Levels have defined the competencies to enable effective teaching/learning of all the modules of the courses, both Core (compulsory) and designate (elective). The blueprint of the External assessment of every course guarantees that all modules are taught and furthers integrity. The details of the course curriculum and structure are set in accordance with the course specifications of the affiliating university. With sincere gratitude I acknowledge the efforts of Dr. N. J. Rao and Dr. RajanGurukkal who extended to us their academic expertise, astute guidance and unstinting support. I also thank Dr. Achuthshankar S. Nair for his timely guidance. I specially thank all the faculty members and the IQAC coordinator Dr. Beena Job for their diligence, commitment and exceptional contribution towards this endeavor.
