F.Modes of Transaction (i.e. Delivery)
1. Teaching activities can be carried out using conventional (chalk & board) method and/or
with advance multimedia equipment’s.
2. Theory and practical may be explained with some basic simulation tools.
3. Separate session should be conducted to explain the concept of subject practically.
G. Teachers Activities/Practicum
The following activities should be carried out by the teachers:
1. Carry out Mid-semester examination & remedial examination (if necessary).
2. Continuous evaluation may be carried out to evaluate the performance of student by
mean of arranging Quiz/viva/sessional examination.
