Assessment Pattern & Grading System
To encourage a continuous learning model, the weightage for class attendance, class participation, and surprise quizzes in the overall course grade has been increased to 50% (class participation to the extent of 25% and surprise quizzes of 25%)
Examinations would test students1 understanding of course content, and their ability to make critical judgments rather than their ability to regurgitate class readings.
We have introduced relative grading scheme. Students in a class would be ranked based on the combined weighted average of the grades obtained in class participation, surprise quizzes, attendance, mid-term and term-end examination.
In a nutshell, the evaluation pattern will be as follows:
Weightage:
Class participation |
20% |
Surprise quizzes |
25% |
Class attendance |
5% |
Pre-announced In-class test |
20% |
Pre-announced Term-end Examination |
30% |
.
The student is assessed continuously throughout the semester by different means.
At the end of the semester, marks for all types of assessments are added by taking a weighted average.
The top 20% students get 'A' grade, middle 70% 'B1 grade and 10% "C grade.
When a student obtains an incomplete 'D1 grade for absence (as specified by MIT-ISBJ Aid Memoire, he/she will have to take the course again next year or will be given a make up project as specified in rule book. The relaxation is specified in the rule book only in case of emergencies like self hospitalization, unavoidable genuine difficulty etc.)
