Teaching
Methodology
Teaching
Aids

Classroom teaching will involve lectures, PowerPoint presentations and
handouts.

Assignments will be given to students which would test their
understanding of the lectures and also test their ability to use theoretical
knowledge in real life situations.

Exercises will be given to students in class that would gauge their ability
to assimilate knowledge quickly.

Students will have access to EU’s web portal and Internet facilities,
enabling them in data searches and computer-aided decision making.

Students will have access to the well-stocked library where latest books,
periodicals, newspapers, journals, prints and records are available for
reading, references and further research.

In order to build up the habit of self-learning amongst students, several
papers spanning different sectors of Power System would be assigned to
each group of two / three students to make a presentation in the class.

For the betterment of the understanding of the students a limited period
of time may be allotted at the end of the class to allow questions and
answers.

Spot tests may be conducted to evaluate the performance of the students.

Handouts

Lecture slides in PPT as well as in printed form

Lecture delivery by multimedia projector in addition to white board and
marker

Online availability of the learning materials through EU web portal

Field visit

Group work
Performance Students will be assessed through rigorous class tests, home assignments, class
presentation along with Mid Term and Final Examinations and the marks

The numerical scores earned by a student in the quizzes, tests, exams., etc.
during and at the end of the semester are cumulated for assignment of Grades in
the following manner :

Submission
of
Assignment
All the assignments should be submitted within specified deadline. If any
student fails to submit with in time a percentage of points will be deducted.
Without submission of all the given assignments, a student will get an I
(Incomplete) grade in the course.
Academic
Ethics
Students are encouraged to discuss the intellectual aspects of assignment with
other class participants however; each student is responsible for formulating
solutions in his or her own words.
Students who submit the same or suspiciously similar assignments will receive a
grade zero on the particular assignment and have their final course grade
reduced by one letter grade.
In addition, the University has formal procedures to handle cases of academic
dishonesty.
A teacher alone cannot teach; it requires tremendous amount of cooperation and
positive responses from the student. So every student should get their lessons by
reading various books/materials besides their text books.
