Presently SASI is developing around 28 courses for JNTU-Kakinada under the coordinator ship of Dr. Sohel Rana to be floated on portal by JNTU-K & APSCHE which will be accessed by the students of the entire state of Andhra Pradesh.
Apart from this SASI has implemented innovative teaching learning policy.
As per the instructions of Principal, and inputs from Director, with consultation of Dean-Academics, a new format proposed by Dean-ITL & ICT for innovative activities is being implemented. Inputs are collected from all the HoDs and suggestions given by AS&H HoD are incorporated in the proposed system. For improving the quality of outcome-based education it is necessary to involve students in the teaching learning process to the next level. As per the requirement of NBA and OBE a new policy for internal assessment of assignments is approved. A detailed workshop/faculty orientation as part of SRP will be conducted by the office of Dean (ITL & ICT).
As all of us are aware that, present internal assessment for 30 marks is as follows:
Assessment/Evaluation Type | Marks | Method | Comments |
Mid Exams ( I & 2 ) | 15 | Direct (Evaluation) | Being conducted for 30 marks & divided by 2 |
Online Quiz | 10 | Direct (Evaluation) | Being conducted for 10 Marks. |
Assignment | 5 | Direct (Evaluation) | Copying of assignment is a problem. Real time work from student is minimal and all are direct methods of assessment |
These are all direct methods of evaluation. We propose to involve the direct/indirect method of assessment as follows:
Assessment/Evaluation Type | Marks | Method | Comments |
Mid Exams ( I & 2 ) ( Evaluation) | 15 | Direct Evaluation | Conduct for 30 marks & divide by 2 for 15 marks |
Online Quiz ( Evaluation) | 10 | Direct Evaluation | Conduct for 20 questions & allot10 marks |
