Guidelines for term work submission and Practical examination.

Conduct of Practical and Term work

1. Objectives of the practical and term work is to develop problem solving abilities using Concepts, Mathematical modeling and use of state-of-the art technology and programming languages(c, c++, Java, Python etc.), frameworks and tools; to develop skills to communicate using algorithmic language for justifications. Students must develop ability to use muticore and/or other than the default CPU core   during programming.

2. List of experiment with practical conduction plan, continuous assessment scheme must be displayed on the laboratory notice board at the beginning of the semester.

3. Subject  teachers  must  discuss  the  problem  solving  session  of  laboratory  assignments  in  the  class  with  the  help  of  mathematical  models.  Wherever necessary, over and above syllabus lectures be conducted and separate record of such lectures be maintained in addition to the teaching plan.

4. The laboratory teacher must demonstrate the running experiment in details using audio-video tools, using debug features giving stress on construction and use of data structures, classes and testing the assignments.

5. Students must be ready with the assignment workout corrected and verified by the lab teacher, before entering the laboratory.

6. Laboratory Manual be prepared covering template of the assignment submission given in the syllabus, testing of the results and assessment of the outcomes such as exposure to the latest technology, tools and methods, knowledge about the mathematical models and algorithms.

7. A digital copy of the template in LATEX format should be made available in the digital library and used for term-work submission.

8. The term work Journal submission must be done as per the syllabus in written and Latex format. Each assignment must be assessed as per the planning and not at the end of the semester. Each assignment must be assessed for the 10 marks as given below:

i>Paper work: 2  marks  for  mathematical  modeling,  1  mark  for  the  outcomes  produced  using mathematical modeling such as Deterministic data(for example, in sequential search if the search set is ordered set then index of the search data can be predicted without processing [searching] needs or can derived using formula), non-deterministic data (not ordered hence to know the index of the data to searched is unknown), 1 mark for identification of data structures,  1  mark  for  the  development  of  Non-deterministic  turing machine/state diagrams and resolving it using overloading, morphism etc.,   1 marks for the write-up using LaTeX,

ii>Programming  Technologies  as  prescribed  by  the  syllabus  must  be  used  for  the development of the solution: 2 marks for explanation of working of the assignment using Debug and 2 marks for the orals Q/A) provided assignments are completed progressively and timely. The submission must be the original work of the student and teachers must verify, certify it by asking for changes and testing. The total term work marks be converted appropriately to the term work submission marks. The term work progress, proof of progressive assessment must be made  available  for  the  review  during  the  Practical/Oral  examination;  the  external examiner may report to the BoS any compromise done in terms of the quality of standards proposed in the syllabus.

9. Continuous assessment of the progress of the student’s performance must be done.

Marking Scheme:

The conduct of the Practical/Oral/TW examination is as per the given syllabus by the pair of examiners using rules and norms of the examination. For Computer Engineering following procedure to be observed:

> During start of the examination, all assignments from Group A and Group B should be written separately to set the practical examination papers; Each student, sequentially shall be called to randomly draw a paper in the scope of his/her term work submission assignments performed; the student shall write the problem statement drawn on the examination paper supplied to him/her and return the question paper to be added in the set for the next candidate.
The examination must be conducted on 64-bit computers with 64-bit tools-set as prescribed in the  syllabus.  For  (F.E.,  S.E.  This  year  progressively) Microprocessor  laboratories  students  shall  use  the  blend  of  ml64.exe  or NASM64 for Windows 7/8 or latest version and Linux/Fedora 17/18/latest or equivalent platform based on the conduct of the term work submitted. The use of 64-bit registers, instructions, int 60H and elf64 format is mandatory except otherwise it is explicitly stated in the syllabus.  

> Student shall be given the answer sheet and student must write the problem solution using mathematical modeling (refer C.8, paper work) at the most for 10% of the marks based on the correctness shall be assessed by the external examiner;

> the D.2 above should result in the class diagram for the solution of the problem statement for at the most 10 % of the marks, any attempt to draw class diagram without D.2 above or incomplete D.2 above can fetch at the most 2% of the marks based on the judgment of the external examiner in D.2.

> The use of (progressively for S.E. this year, but TE and BE laboratories are welcome in view of their placements) multi-core programming or performing programming on the microprocessor core other  han the default core can fetch another 10% of the marks, otherwise at the most 2% of the marks based  n the judgment of the external examiner D.2;

> The coding, implementation, appropriate comments and testing must be done  as  per  the  term   work  (refer  C.8)  using  64-bit  programming environment and evaluated by both the examiners jointly  or  t the most 10% of the marks otherwise 2% of the marks for any attempt to perform the experiment  without D.2, D.3 and D.4 above;  

> The  internal  examiner  shall  test  the  running  program  for  three  valid independent/ different inputs for at the most 10% of the marks otherwise 2% of marks if procedure of D.2 to D.4 is not adequately followed by the student. And the External examiner shall test the running program for one valid input in debug mode for at the most 20% of the marks.  

> Each examiner shall assess the students by asking questions on above D.2 to D.6 for the originality of the work, concepts, problem solving abilities, alternative effective methods and algorithms for at the most 10% of the marks independently.

> Remaining 10% of the marks shall be given jointly by the examiners by assessing the overall performance, neatness, completeness, presentation skills and quality of the spoken English.

> The external examiner may just-fully moderate the marks given by the internal examiner; if (and otherwise) the internal examiner gives marks 90% or above in two or more heads or the individual marking is differing more than of 5% marks excluding the joint assessment marks.

>  Marks  out  of  100  be  converted  to  the  appropriate  marks  for  the examination head by rounding the  real number of 0.5 and above to next integer else to the existing integer.


> In case of TW/Oral examination questions be asked using D.2 to D.8 on the term work submitted by the student and instead of D.6 above the inputs and results attached be used for the assessment of D.6 above maintaining the marking scheme as stated above.
