SUGGESTED PRACTICAL EXERCISES
The following practical outcomes (PrOs) that are the sub-components of the COs. Some of the
PrOs marked ‘*’ are compulsory, as they are crucial for that particular CO. These PrOs need to
be attained at least at the ‘Precision Level’ of Dave’s Taxonomy related to ‘Psychomotor
Domain’.
