form of written reports. Demonstrate an ability to plan and manage time effectively by prioritizing tasks and

meeting deadlines. Work co-operatively with colleagues and in teams to develop interpersonal and

teamwork skills within a laboratory environment.

10. Teaching and Learning Methods: Theoretical knowledge and understanding of biotechnology will be achieved through

class room lectures, faculty seminars, invited lectures, student presentations and alsoby directed study of appropriate journal based articles.

Subject-specific and practical skills will be developed through formal teachinglaboratory classes. This learning will be supported by formal laboratory manuals andprotocols.

Key research skills such as experimental design, statistical analysis and researchethics will be learnt through research projects and colloquium topics.

Intellectual skills will be practiced and demonstrated through the dissertation, studentpresentations at seminars and in the laboratory classes.

Transferable skills, such as oral and written communication skills, will be developedthrough students’ participation in various conferences, symposiums for oralpresentations, poster presentation of their research work and also report writing.

11. Assessment methods:

The student's theoretical knowledge of biotechnology will be assessed in:

One Mid Term test duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes

Quizzes of 50 minutes duration

One end semester examination of 3 hours duration

of 23

Assignments

A substantial dissertation with critical analysis of their

research. The dissertation will also assess the student's

ability to research, critically evaluate and summarise

the chosen specialised topic in the field of BT.

The student's laboratory skills and scientific report writing skills will be

assessed by written laboratory reports after attendance at formal laboratory

sessions.

The ability to design and undertake an independent literature based research

project will be assessed by a supervisor's report, submission of a written

dissertation and by an oral presentation of a review of the subject area.

Oral communication skills will be assessed in student presentations of

colloquium topic talk, presentation of their research project in seminars.

Student research projects will be guided and assessed by their research

supervisors and feedback will be provided.

Written communication skills will be assessed in the dissertation, laboratory

report and project & colloquium reports
