GUIDELINES FOR OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION WITH CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (For those who have joined in June 2020 and later) I. A. PREAMBLE The institutional vision is to emerge as a premier institution offering need-based, value conscious and career-oriented quality education to empower rural women with communicative competency and employment potential. With the advent of Autonomy in the year 2005, Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is followed and it offers much flexibility to innovate and design the contents of each programme and align it with the institutional mission. Quality assurance developments in higher education have encouraged us to move towards outcomes-based approach to teaching, learning and assessment. Programme specifications define the students in terms of what they can do at the end of a programme or a particular level of study. This is a change from the more traditional approach where teachers tended to define courses in terms of what is taught, rather than what the student can do at the end of the course or programme. More directed and coherent curriculum, “more relevant” Graduates to industry and other stakeholders and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) are the benefits of OBE. A student-centered paradigm in higher education entails a shift from a more input- oriented curricular design based on the description of course content, to outcomes-based education in which the course content is developed in terms of learning outcomes. The implementation of Outcome Based Education with CBCS as per the UGC guidelines from the academic year 2019-2020 will definitely mark a paradigm shift from traditional education. B.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES, PROGRAMME OUTCOMES AND PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOMES Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs): PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and professional achievements that the programme is preparing the graduates to achieve within the first few years after graduation. PEOs should be consistent with the mission of the Institution. PEO’s can be measured by a PO-PEO matrix. The PEO’s should evolve through constant feedback from alumnae, students, industry, management etc ., It is mandatory that each PEO should be mapped to atleast one of the POs. The Graduates will PEO1 : be a productive employee in herbal industries, botanical gardens, educational institutions or pursue higher studies. PEO2 : create novel ideas to solve economic, social and environmental issues related to Botany with ethics. PEO3 : be competent to handle a demanding situation and involve in the collection and preparation of specimens to aspire as a successful entrepreneur. Programme Outcomes (PO): Programme Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do upon the graduation. These relate to the skills, knowledge and behaviour that students acquire in their study through the programmes. PO1: Disciplinary knowledge Apply the knowledge of Arts, Science and Humanities to address fundamental and complex questions appropriate to their programmes. PO2: Critical thinking, Problem solving and Analytical reasoning Make use of appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, formulate, analyze and solve problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions.

Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO): Programme Specific Outcomes denote what the students should be able to do at the time of graduation. They are programme specific. It is mandatory that each PO should be mapped to the respective PSO specified in the programme in order.

By the completion of the B.Sc. Botany programme, the learners will be able to PSO1: apply their botanical knowledge to identify and compare the fundamental features and processes of different groups of plants. PSO2: critically think and apply the understanding of the subject of plant sciences in identifying the problems which can be solved through the use of plants. PSO3: evaluate and apply the skills in Botany with the understanding of general laboratory practices. PSO4: articulate effectively with the use of digital resources to explain the concepts related to life sciences. PSO5: exhibit their caliber to work efficiently as a member /leader in teams, preferably in a multi-disciplinary setting. PSO6: reflect the environmental values and uses of plants and be aware of environmental implications. PSO7: engage in sustainable utilization of plants, land, water, forest and energy resources.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY: Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 by an educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts. It is most often used when designing educational, training, and learning processes.

The K-levels mentioned in the diagram are usually denoted as [k1] to [k6] respectively from the bottom.

Course Outcomes (CO):

Course Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do at the end of each course. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviour that students acquire in their study through the course. Each course comprises five COs and the keywords used to define COs are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy [k1] to [k6]. On successful completion of the course, the learners should be able to CO1: [k1] / [k2] CO2: [k3] CO3: [k4] CO4: [k5] CO5: [k6]

D. CO-PO &PO-PEO relationship:

E. CO – PO MAPPING OF COURSES: After CO statements are developed by the course in-charge, COs will be mapped with any possible POs based on the relationship exist between them. A CO must be mapped to atleast one PO. The PO’s which are not related to any of the COs in a particular course may be left blank. All the courses together must cover all the POs. The CO-PO matrix for a course is as shown below. The correlation between COs and PO can be defined by three levels using the Letter Grades H, M, L which denotes respectively High (H), Medium (M), Low (L) and ‘-‘ for no correlation. The concept of Six Sigma is used for calculating weighted percentage of contribution of each course in attainment of respective POs. As per Six Sigma Tool- Cause and Effect Matrix, the weightage of H, M and L are 9, 3 and 1 respectively.

Page 6 of 236 II. ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR CO ATTAINMENT Assessment is one or more processes carried out by the institution that identify, collect and prepare data to evaluate the achievement of Course Outcomes and Programme Outcomes. Course Outcome is evaluated based on the performance of students in the Continuous Internal Assessments and in End Semester Examination of a course.

Assessment tools for CO Assessment tool Marks Description Conduct of Direct Assessment Tool Theory Courses - Internal Assessment (40 Marks) (for all courses except Part IV) Term Test 25 marks Three written tests are Term Test I - after the conducted and average completion of 30 working days of best two is considered Term Test II - after the completion of 55 working days Term test III - after the completion of 80 working days Assignment 5 marks Two Assignments for Assignment I - before the each course and the commencement of Term Test I average of two is considered Assignment II - before the commencement of Term Test II Quiz 10 marks Three Quizzes are Quiz must be completed before conducted and average the commencement of every of best two is considered Term Test

CO Assessment Rubrics For the evaluation and assessment of CO’s and PO’s, rubrics are used.

Internal assessment contributes 60% and End Semester assessment contributes 40% to the total attainment of a CO for the theory courses. For the practical courses, internal assessment contributes 100% of total attainment to a CO. Once the Course Outcome is measured, the PO can be measured using a CO-PO matrix.

CO Attainment: Direct CO Attainment: Course outcomes of all courses are assessed and the CO wise marks obtained by all the students are recorded for all the assessment tools mentioned above. The respective CO attainment level is evaluated based on set attainment rubrics. Attainment Levels of COs

Assessment Methods Attainment Levels Level 1 60% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Level 2 70% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Internal Assessment Level 3 75% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Level 1 60% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in End Semester Examination Level 2 70% of students scoring more than average marks End Semester Examination or set target marks in End Semester Examination Level 3 75% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in End Semester Examination

Target setting for Assessment method: For setting up the target of internal assessment tools, 50% of the maximum mark is allotted as target. For setting up the target of End Semester Examination, the average mark of the class shall be set as target.

Approved in the Academic Council held on 21.08.20 UGBOT - Page 7

Page 8 of 236 Formula for Attai nment for each CO: Attainment = Percentage of students who have scored more than the target marks

Internal Attainment is the average of attainments oobtbtainedained using various internal assessment tools.
For Theory Courses, Direct CO Attainment = 60% of internal attainment + 40% of End Semester attainment.
For Practical Courses, Direct CO Attainment = 100% of internal attainment.
For Intership, Direct CO Attainment = 100% of external attainment.
For Part V Direct CO Attainment = 100% of internal attainmen t. Indirect CO Attainment: At the end of each course, an exit survey is collected from the students and it gives the opinion of the students on attainment of Course Outcomes. A questionnaire is designed to reflect the views of the students about the attain ment of course outcomes. Overall CO Attainment = 80% of Direct CO Attainment + 20% of Indirect CO Attainment In each course, the level of attainment of each CO isis compared with the predefined targets, if the target is not reached, the course teacher takes necessary steps for the improvement to reach the target. For continuous improvement, if the target is reachereached,d, the course teacher can set the target as a value greater than the CO attainment of the previous year. III. ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR PO ATTAINMENT

Measurement of PO attainment shall be done by direct and indirect methods. Direct assessment method and indirect assessment method are considered for 80% and 20% weightages respectively. Target levels of attainment shall be fixed by the Course teacher and Heads of the respective departments. Direct assessments (rubric based) – Conventional assessment tools such as Term Test, Quiz, Seminar, Assignment and End Semester ExaminatExaminatioionn are used. Indirect assessments – Done through Course Exit Survey.

Page 10 of 236 IV. ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR OVERALL PO ATTAINMENT With the help of CO against PO mapping, the PO attainment is calculated. PO assessment is done by giving 70% weightage to direct assessment and 30% weightage to indirect assessment. Direct assessment is based on CO attainment, where 40% weightage is given to attainment through End Semester examination and 60% weightage is given to attainment through internal assessments. Indirect assessment is done through Graduate exit survey and participation of students in Co-curricular / Extracurricular activities. PO Assessment Tools

Direct Attainment of POs for all Courses At the end of the each programme, the direct PO assessment is done from the CO attainment of all courses. The direct PO attainment for a particular course is determined from the attainment values obtained for each course outcome related to that PO and the CO-PO mapping values. For the evaluation and assessment of CO’s and PO’s, the same set of rubrics is used. Programme Articulation Matrix (PAM): Course Course Title PO1 PO2 PO3 PO4 PO5 PO6 PO7 Code

GUIDELINES FOR OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION WITH CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (For those who have joined in June 2020 and later)

I. A. PREAMBLE The institutional vision is to emerge as a premier institution offering need-based, value conscious and career-oriented quality education to empower rural women with communicative competency and employment potential. With the advent of Autonomy in the year 2005, Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is followed and it offers much flexibility to innovate and design the contents of each programme and align it with the institutional mission. Quality assurance developments in higher education have encouraged us to move towards outcomes-based approach to teaching, learning and assessment. Programme specifications define the students in terms of what they can do at the end of a programme or a particular level of study. This is a change from the more traditional approach where teachers tended to define courses in terms of what is taught, rather than what the student can do at the end of the course or programme. More directed and coherent curriculum, “more relevant” Graduates to industry and other stakeholders and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) are the benefits of OBE. A student-centered paradigm in higher education entails a shift from a more input-oriented curricular design based on the description of course content, to outcomes-based education in which the course content is developed in terms of learning outcomes. The implementation of Outcome Based Educationwith CBCS as per the UGC guidelines from the academic year 2019-2020 will definitely mark a paradigm shift from traditional education. B.

C. PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES, PROGRAMME OUTCOMES AND PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOMES

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs): PEOs are broad statements that describe the career and professional achievements that the programme is preparing the graduates to achieve within the first few years after graduation. PEOs should be consistent with the mission of the Institution. PEO’s can be measured by a PO-PEO matrix. The PEO’s should evolve through constant feedback from alumnae, students, industry, management etc,. It is mandatory that each PEO should be mapped to atleast one of the POs. The Graduates will PEO1: exhibit a mastery of skills and knowledge with ethics at a level required for plant based industry or to be an eminent research scholar. PEO2: pursue research of significance in Botany or an interdisciplinary or creative project to solve the problems in thrust areas to preserve nature. PEO3: enhance the productivity of several economically important products/botanicals and thereby become a successful entrepreneur. Programme Outcomes (PO): Programme Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do upon the graduation.

Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO): Programme Specific Outcomes denote what the students should be able to do at the time of graduation. They are programme specific. It is mandatory that each PO should be mapped to the respective PSO specified in the programme in order.

By the completion of the M.Sc. Botany programme, the learners will be able to PSO1: demonstrate a systematic, extensive and coherent knowledge of plant sciences and its application with the use of established theories, principles and concepts of Botany. PSO2: apply their botanical knowledge and transferable skills to identify and analyze issues related to new/unfamiliar contexts and to solve it with well-defined solutions. PSO3: be competent on data collection and process of scientific documentation in areas related to specializations and current updates in the field of Botany. PSO4: make use of appropriate techniques, skills and modern ICT tools necessary to decipher knowledge related to life sciences. PSO5: demonstrate leadership and team workmanship in order to serve efficiently in institution, industry and society. PSO6: defend the environmental and professional issues with moral ethics.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY: Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 by an educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts. It is most often used when designing educational, training, and learning processes.

The K-levels mentioned in the diagram are usually denoted as [k1] to [k6] respectively from the bottom.

Course Outcomes (CO):

Course Outcomes are narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do at the end of each course. These relate to the skills, knowledge, and behaviour that students acquire in their study through the course. Each course comprises five COs and the keywords used to define COs are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy [k1] to [k6]. On successful completion of the course, the learners should be able to

CO1: [k1] / [k2] CO2: [k3] CO3: [k4] CO4: [k5] CO5: [k6]

D. CO-PO &PO-PEO relationship:

E. CO – PO MAPPING OF COURSES: After CO statements are developed by the course in-charge, COs will be mapped with any possible POs based on the relationship exist between them. A CO must be mapped to atleast one PO. The PO’s which are not related to any of the COs in a particular course may be left blank. All the courses together must cover all the POs. The CO-PO matrix for a course is as shown below. The correlation between COs and PO can be defined by three levels using the Letter Grades H, M, L which denotes respectively High (H), Medium (M), Low (L) and ‘-‘ for no correlation. The concept of Six Sigma is used for calculating weighted percentage of contribution of each course in attainment of respective POs. As per Six Sigma Tool- Cause and Effect Matrix, the weightage of H, M and L are 9, 3 and 1 respectively.

CO Assessment Rubrics

For the evaluation and assessment of CO’s and PO’s, rubrics are used.

Internal assessment contributes 60% and End Semester assessment contributes 40% to the total attainment of a CO for the theory courses. For the practical courses, internal assessment contributes 100% of total attainment to a CO and for the project external assessment contributes 100% of total attainment.Once the Course Outcome is measured, the PO can be measured using a CO-PO matrix.

CO Attainment: Direct CO Attainment:

Course outcomes of all courses are assessed and the CO wise marks obtained by all the students are recorded for all the assessment tools mentioned above. The respective CO attainment level is evaluated based on set attainment rubrics. Attainment Levels of COs

Assessment Methods Attainment Levels Level 1 60% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Level 2 70% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Internal Assessment Level 3 75% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in internal assessment tools Level 1 60% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in End Semester Examination Level 2 70% of students scoring more than average marks End Semester Examination or set target marks in End Semester Examination Level 3 75% of students scoring more than average marks or set target marks in End Semester Examination

Target setting for Assessment method: For setting up the target of internal assessment tools, 50% of the maximum mark is allotted as target. For setting up the target of End Semester Examination, the average mark of the class shall be set as target. Formula for Attainment for each CO:

Attainment = Percentage of students who have scored more than the target marks

Internal Attainment is the average of attainments obtained using various internal assessment tools.

➢ For Theory Courses, Direct CO Attainment = 60% of internal attainment + 40% of End Semester attainment.

➢ For Practical Courses, Direct CO Attainment = 100% of internal attainment.

➢ For Project, Direct CO Attainment = 100% of End semester attainment.

Page 171 of 236

Indirect CO Attainment: At the end of each course, an exit survey is collected from the students and it gives the opinion of the students on attainment of Course Outcomes. A questionnaire is designed to reflect the views of the students about the attainment of course outcomes. Overall CO Attainment = 80% of Direct CO Attainment + 20% of Indirect CO Attainment In each course, the level of attainment of each CO is compared with the predefined targets, if the target is not reached, the course teacher takes necessary steps for the improvement to reach the target. For continuous improvement, if the target is reached, the course teacher can set the target as a value greater than the CO attainment of the previous year. III. ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR PO ATTAINMENT

Measurement of PO attainment shall be done by direct and indirect methods. Direct assessment method and indirect assessment method are considered for 80% and 20% weightages respectively. Target levels of attainment shall be fixed by the Course teacher and Heads of the respective departments. Direct assessments (rubric based) - Conventional assessment tools such as Term Test, Quiz, Seminar, Assignment and End Semester Examination are used. Indirect assessments– Done through Course Exit Survey. The description of Assessment tools used for the evaluation of COs and POs is given below.

Mode of Assessment Description Evaluation of Course Related POs Assessment Tool Outcomes Theory Courses- Internal Assessment (Weightage 60%) Theory- Three written The questions in the three Term Test tests are Term Tests, Seminar and (25 marks) conducted Assignment are framed in and average such a way that they cover of best two is all the COs of respective considered course.

IV. ASSESSMENT PROCESS FOR OVERALL PO ATTAINMENT

With the help of CO against PO mapping, the PO attainment is calculated. PO assessment is done by giving 70% weightage to direct assessment and 30% weightage to indirect assessment. Direct assessment is based on CO attainment, where 40% weightage is given to attainment through End Semester examination and 60% weightage is given to attainment through internal assessments. Indirect assessment is done through Graduate exit survey and participation of students in Co- curricular / Extracurricular activities.
