Bloom's Taxonomy Indicators
The Cognitive Domain
C1-Remembering: Recall or retrieve previous learned information.

C2-Understanding: Comprehending the meaning, translation, interpolation, and interpretation of

instructions and problems. State a problem in one's own words.

C3-Applying: Use a concept in a new situation or unprompted use of an abstraction. Applies what
was learned in the classroom into novel situations in the work place.

C4-Analyzing: Separates material or concepts into component parts so that its organizational
structure may be understood. Distinguishes between facts and inferences.

C5-Evaluating: Make judgments about the value of ideas or materials.

C6-Creating: Builds a structure or pattern from diverse elements. Put parts together to form a whole,
with emphasis on creating a new meaning or structure.

The Affective Domain

A1-Receiving Phenomena: Awareness, willingness to hear, selected attention.

A2-Responds to Phenomena: Active participation on the part of the learners. Attend
and react to a particular phenomenon. Learning outcomes may emphasize compliance in
responding, willingness to respond, or satisfaction in responding (motivation).
A3-Valuing: The worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phen omenon,
or behavior. This ranges from simple acceptance to the more complex state of
commitment. Valuing is based on the internalization of a set of specified values, while
clues to these values are expressed in the learner's overt behavior and are often
identifiable.
A4-Organization: Organizes values into priorities by contrasting different values,
resolving conflicts between them, and creating a unique value system. The emphasis is
on comparing, relating, and synthesizing values.
A5-Internalizes Values (characterization): Has a value system that controls their
behavior. The behavior is pervasive, consistent, predictable, and most important
characteristic of the learner. Instructional objectives are concerned with the student's
general patterns of adjustment (personal, social, emotional).
The Psychomotor Domain

Page 4 of 9
P1-Perception (awareness): The ability to use sensory cues to guide motor activity.
This ranges from sensory stimulation, through cue selection, to translation.
P2-Set: Readiness to act. It includes mental, physical, and emotional sets. These three
sets are dispositions that predetermine a person's response to different situations
(sometimes called mindsets).
P3-Guided Response: The early stages in learning a complex skill that includes
imitation and trial and error. Adequacy of performance is achieved by practicing.
P4-Mechanism (basic proficiency): This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill.
Learned responses have become habitual and the movements can be performed with some
confidence and proficiency.
P5-Complex Overt Response (Expert): The skillful performance of motor acts that
involve complex movement patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and
highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of ener gy. This category includes
performing without hesitation, and automatic performance.
P6-Adaptation: Skills are well developed and the individual can modify movement
patterns to fit special requirements.
P7-Origination: Creating new movement patterns to fit a particular situation or specific
problem. Learning outcomes emphasize creativity based upon highly developed skills.

General Policies of the Instructor

Academic Offenses: The students and faculty are jointly responsible for the academic standards and
reputation of the university. It is well recognized that intellectual honesty is the basic requirement for
development and acquisition of knowledge. Intellectual honesty is a pre-requisite for continued
membership in the university community.

Forms of intellectual dishonesty are plagiarism, cheating in examinations, aiding and abetting
cheating, and the use of assignment prepared by others, impersonation of another student at an
examination, misrepresentation of information, falsification of academic records, and unruly behavior
with the instructor.

If a student is detected by the instructor in committing an academic offense, it may result in an "F"
grade for the course or even dismissal of the student from the university.

Dress and Behavior Code: All students must strictly follow the Dress and Behavior Code (DBC) of
IUBAT. The student not following proper dress code will be warned first and habitual DBC breaker
may be denied entry/ejected from the classroom and thus will be counted as absent.

Interactive Classroom Engagement Activities: It is expected that students will be adequately prepared
for all classes before the class lecture so that they can participate when appropriate. In this process,
there will be a class Convener and Rapporteur from the students for every class throughout the
semester. Each and every students of the course will be selected as Convener and Rapporteur
according to a specific schedule by the Course Leader. The Convener and Rapporteur will conduct a

Page 5 of 9
wide range of activities in the class starting from conducting the Pledge of the IUBATIANS up to the
announcement of the next Convener and Rapporteur. The process will be as follows:

(i) Role of the Convener: The Convener of the day will welcome all present in the class and lead the
pledge. First s/he will request the Rapporteur of the last class session to make a brief presentation on
the summary of the topic covered in the last class. The Convener will invite for any comments or
additions from the participants in the class. Following this s/he will announce the topic of the day and
invite instructor to conduct the class. S/he will give reminder alarm 5 minutes before the end of the
lecture time of the speaker. The Convener of the day will also propose a vote of thanks and announce
the name of the Convener and Rapporteur for the next class session and introduce them.

(ii) Role of the Rapporteur: The Rapporteur of the designated class will make the presentation on the
summary of the topic covered. The Rapporteur of the day will take notes during the class to make
summary of the class for next day presentation.

(iii) Role of the Participants: The participants will learn by evaluating the performance of the
Convener and Rapporteur. They will also participate and raise issues when necessary. And by doing
so, they will get involved in training task, learn and demonstrate leadership qualities.

(iv) Role of the Course Leader: The role of the Course Leader will be to check and observe whether
the roles of Convener, Rapporteur and Participants are carried out appropriately. Any change in the
program will be announced by the Leader. Besides, the Leader will help the session Convener and
Rapporteur in carrying out their responsibilities.

First Term and Mid-term Exam: First Term and Mid-term Exams will be held in the class on
scheduled/announced dates. The scheduled dates of the first term and mid-term exams would not be
changed under any circumstances. All topics covered until the end of the week before the exam will be
included. Different sets of question papers having an equal level of difficulty and standard will be set.
These question paper will include both subjective and objective type questions.
Marked exam scripts of the first term and mid-term exam will be returned to the students during the
class (usually next week after the exam). If any student is unable to collect his/her script on that day
due to absence, he/she must collect it within one week from the instructor's room. After one (1) week,
the instructor will not be responsible for the loss of the script.

Missed Exam: There will be no make-up exam if anyone intentionally misses first and midterm exam
without any valid and legitimate reason. Absence in the exams will be regarded as absent and Zero (0)
marks will be applied. Notifying the instructor before the exam is a must if a student misses any exam
for reasons beyond his/her control. ‘I’ grade will not be given without any prior notification to the

Page 6 of 9
instructor. In extreme circumstances, if the student cannot inform earlier, he/she must inform the
instructor within three (3) days of the exam.

Final Exam: Final exam will cover the entire course syllabus. The exam will be all-inclusive at a
location and time determined by the university. The final examination is for evaluation purposes only,
and the exam scripts will not be returned to the students for review after it is marked. The final exam
question paper will include subjective type questions only.
Creativity will not be suppressed. Writing in your own words is definitely welcomed as long as the
provided information is scientifically correct, grammatically sound, and to the point.
No extra marks will be given for what was not asked in the question paper. Marks will be deducted for
wrong scientific units. No partial marks will be given for the following cases:
a. Misspellings of engineering terms, contributor’s name or universally accepted nomenclature
b. Wrong formula and invalid solution processes/steps of mathematical problems
c. Unintelligible writing (not understandable), sentence does not make any sense, off-topic
writing (not relevant to the topic)

Review of the marks: Appeals for reviewing marks of the first term and mid-term exams must be
made within three (3) days from the day of supplying answer scripts. After submission of grades in the
university automation server, any appeal for reviewing marks will be rejected. Student can apply
through the registry for final grade review if the student is not satisfied with his/her final grade.
Class Participation: All students are expected to actively participate in the class for ensuring effective
and interactive teaching-learning process. Class participation includes asking questions, expressing
ideas, contributing to the discussion and giving insightful comments relevant to the topic. It is also
further expected that students will adequately prepare themselves by studying the topic beforehand the
scheduled classes and they will participate in them when appropriate. Another way of participating in
the class is to play the role of convener, rapporteur, course leader and participants. Students should
follow the instructor’s briefing in this regard.

In-class Exercises: Students are expected to follow the instructions attentively and thoroughly
understand the solution process of a discussed mathematical problem. A similar mathematical problem
will be provided to the students for solving in the class within a prescribed time. Discussions are
allowed. Students will show the answer to the instructor after solving.

Unannounced Quizzes: An unannounced quiz will be either an oral exam on previously discussed
topic or an open book exam. Students are therefore advised to always bring at least five blank pages
with them and text book in the class.

Homework assignments: Adherence to academic integrity and professionalism is very important

during assignment preparation. ‘Problem Sets’ containing mathematical problems and critical thinking
problems will be provided in the class. Homework Assignments will include these problems along
with some subjective questions. All students are expected to complete their assignments in a timely
manner and submit it within the announced due date. Unprofessionally prepared submissions (for
example, quick copying from another student’s assignment in the class, submission in a torn piece of
paper etc.) will not be accepted and grade will be “F”. A homework assignment may be handwritten or
typed. Hand drawings and writings are acceptable as long as they look neat and professional.

Page 7 of 9
However, homework assignments on design problems should be prepared on engineering paper using
pencil and the work should be neat, complete, and logically arranged.

While group discussions are encouraged and collaboration on homework assignments is permitted,
each assignment submitted must represent essentially student’s own work. Submitted work that is
copied from peers will be subjected to severe penalization, grade will be “F” and mark will be zero
(0).

‘I’ Grade Policy: The instructor cannot assign ‘I' Grade on the basis of any irrational request or excuse
made by a student. The grade “I” (Incomplete grade) may be assigned by the instructor at the end of
the semester to designate incomplete work in a course. It should be used only when a student is unable
to complete requirements of the course because of illness, hardship or death in the immediate family.
Incomplete (I) will only be given if the student has already substantially completed the major
requirements of the course such as required attendance, satisfactory class participation, assignment
completion, taking the quiz, and obtaining of the good grade in the first and mid-term exams. The
grade “I” must be removed as soon as possible but no later than 3 weeks from the beginning of the
next semester. At the end of deadline, the faculty must submit the final grade or this is automatically
converted into “F” grade.

Attendance policy: Attendance to all lectures is mandatory. An instructor may assign a final grade of
“F” in the course to a student who fails to meet the requirements. Only three absences in a course with
acceptable reasons may be excused by the instructor in a semester. Permission of the Dean is required
to remain absent in three or more consecutive classes for reasons beyond control (e.g. illness, hardship
or death in the immediate family) of the student. Any student remaining absent in any class of a course
without permission will be served with a notice of warning. Unexcused absences will lead to reduced
course grade, suspension from the course or dismissal of the student from the course.

Lecture Notes and Handouts: Lecture notes and PowerPoint slides made by the instructor will not be
supplied to the students. Students are expected to study the textbook for developing in-depth
understanding of the topic. Students may additionally follow reference texts along with any credible
and reliable source of information. Students are also advised not to follow random Google search
results and unprofessional webpages. ‘Problem Sets’ for assignment and handouts on unavailable
topics (topics not available in the textbook) will be provided only.
