 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 (mot ivation).
A3-Valuing: The worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon, 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, w hile 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 learn er. Instructional objectives are concerned with the student's general
patterns of adjustment (personal, social, emotional).

Page 6 of 19
 The Psychomotor Domain

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 mindset s).
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 energy. This category includes
performing without hesitation, and automatic performance.
P6-Adaptation: Skills are well developed and the individual can modify movement pa tterns 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 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.

Page 14 of 19
(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.

Group Presentation

Students will be divided into groups to participate in class activities, assignments and group discussions.

Term Examinations

Three term examinations will be held. First-term (full one hour) and mid-term (full one hour) examinations will be held as per the schedule given in the
course outline. Final examination (full three hours) will be held as per the schedule given by Registry. In addition, there are will be quizzes and
presentations.

Quizzes and Assignments:

To achieve full marks on quizzes and assignments students have to participate in all the assignments and quizzes. Class-quiz could be either written or
oral. No makeup quizzes will be held, if anyone is unable to sit for the quiz exam on due date. Students must submit all the assignments on time.
* Late submission of assignments will not be accepted.

Attendance Policy:

IUBAT expects students to exercise good judgment regarding attendance. Students are expected to attend the class regularly so that their academic work
does not hamper to obtain the outstanding course grade. All students are expected to attend every schedule meeting of each class on time, exceptions may
be made for IUBAT sponsored or work related activities, illness, or valid emergency situations.

 Student will get “F” grade due to 3 consecutive absences

 Students are not allowed to enter the class more than 10 minutes late.
 Regular attendance will help the students to get a good grade.
 For 100% attendance, students will get 5% additional marks.

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

Page 15 of 19
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. No partial marks will be given for the following cases:
a. Misspellings
b. 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. 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 problems and critical thinking 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.
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
Page 16 of 19
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.

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.
