Changes that I will make next time I teach the course
1. I will cover the lessons with real time application and make a link with relevance to real
life situations.
2. Sometimes, I can’t follow the lessons as per the course plan given to the students. Some
topics will take more time to complete. Extra one or two classes are required to cover
some topics. So that classes are not held as per the course plan. By experience, it will sort
out in future.
3. I will improve the skill development of students with our course.

CA-Continuous Assessment
From the above Outcome Based Education Pattern, Students were relived from their stress in the
final exams; they can improve their score from beginning onwards. This continuous assessment has
transparency. The students are able to know their status and improve their level for every subject.
Now, we are preparing Course Objectives and Course Outcomes (Cos) for every subject.
COs are preparing by using blooms Taxonomy levels
We are doing mapping the course outcomes with Programme Outcomes (Pos).
For this subject mapping of domain level with COs and mapping of COs with Assessment are given
below.
