The Course Pack is a comprehensive and complete pedagogical guideline document that describes
the components of instruction delivery by a faculty member. It consists of the scheme of the course,
Course Overview, Course Objectives, Prerequisite course, Program-specific Outcomes (PSOs), Course
outcomes (COs), Bloom’s taxonomy (Knowledge Levels), Types of Courses, Course articulation
matrix, Course assessment patterns, Course content, Lesson Plan, Bibliography, Problem-based
learning/case-studies/clinical, and Student-Centred learning (self-learning towards life-long-learning).
It not only provides a uniform design of Course delivery across the University but also ensures
freedom and flexibility to introduce innovations in learning and teaching and create vivid kinds of
assessment tools (alternate assessment tools) by a faculty member.
The course pack is developed by the faculty member teaching a course. If more
than one faculty teaches the same course, all the faculty members teaching the
course shall be formed as a cluster, and a senior faculty member (Course-lead) lead
the Course delivery design in a team effort. The Course Pack provides ample scope
and opportunity to bring innovations in teaching pedagogies in a
school/department.
Hence, the Course pack is a comprehensive learning-teaching strategy framework
to be followed by all the faculty members in schools/departments in the university.
It is not only a tool for measuring the learning of a class but also analyses the
achievement levels (learning outcomes of the course) of all the students in a class
in a continuous manner.
1. THE SCHEME
The scheme is an overview of work-integrated learning opportunities and gets
students out into the real world. This will give what a course entails.
Course Title Organizational Behaviour Course Type Theory
2. COURSE OVERVIEW
Organizational behaviour, or “people skills,” is the field of study that investigates the impact that
individuals, groups, and structure have on behaviour within organizations. Human behavior in the
organizational and work context is a complex phenomenon. Individual behavior at work is a result of
interaction between various individual, group and organizational level factors. Understanding how
individuals and groups behave at workplace will not only help improve their effectiveness but also nurture
the quality of work life of the individuals. The knowledge gained in this course will be applicable by
students in business organizations that they would work for, in the future. This course will help students to
be cognizant of these work place dynamics so that they make conscious decisions in their future career.
3. COURSE OBJECTIVE
(Provides insight into why students learn what they learn before beginning a course.)
To acquaint students with the basic concepts in organizational behavior such as perception,
personality, learning, attitude, emotions, and stress, and their application in organizations.
To acquaint students with basic concepts in organizational behavior such as groups, teams,
motivational theories, leadership styles, change, and conflict-management, and their application in
organizations.

K
In general, the Program Outcomes are defined by the respective apex body or council. In the event
the POs are not prescribed by a Council, then the concerned school offering the program to design
and develop the POs based on the PEOs. This has to be approved by the concerned BOS and
submitted to the Academic Council for approval.
After the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
PO7 Apply the various forms of business communication, supported by effective use of appropriate
technology, logical reasoning, articulation of ideas.
PO8 Apply innovative ideas and knowledge of business project management principles as an
entrepreneur/team member/ team leader to develop and manage projects in multidisciplinary
environments.
Program Specific Outcomes (PSO) are statements that describe what the graduates of a discipline-
specific program should be able to do. Two to Three PSOs per program should be designed.

The ability to use and apply the knowledge in different ways may not be the focus of the
assessment. With regard to designing assessments, the faculty members must be willing to put in
the time required to create a valid, reliable assessment, that ideally would allow students to
demonstrate their understanding of the information while remaining. The following are the five main
areas that assessment reporting should cover.
1. Learning Outcomes: At the completion of a program, students are expected to know their
knowledge, skills, and attitude. Depending on whether it is a UG or PG program, the level of
sophistication may be different. There should be no strict rule on the number of outcomes to be
achieved, but the list should be reasonable, and well-organized.
2. Assessable Outcomes: After a given learning activity, the statements should specify what
students can do to demonstrate. Criteria for demonstration are usually addressed in rubrics and
there should be specific examples of work that doesn’t meet expectations, meets expectations,
and exceeds expectations. One of the main challenges is faculty communication whether all
faculty agreed on explicit criteria for assessing each outcome. This can be a difficult
accomplishment when multiple sections of a course are taught or different faculty members.
Hence there is a need for common understanding among the faculty on what is assessed and
how it is assessed.
3. Assessment Alignment: This design of an assessment is sometimes in the form of a curriculum
map, which can be created in something as easy as an Excel spreadsheet. Courses should be
examined to see which program outcomes they support, and if the outcome is assessed within
the course. After completion, program outcomes should be mapped to multiple courses within
COURSEPACK
FRAMEWOR
K
the program.
4. Assessment Planning: Faculty members need to have a specific plan in place for assessing
each outcome. Outcomes don’t need to be assessed every year, but faculty should plan to review
the assessment data over a reasonable period of time and develop a course of action if the
outcome is not being met.
5. Student Experience: Students in a program should be fully aware of the expectations of the
program. The program outcomes are aligned on the syllabus so that students are aware of what
course outcomes they are required to meet, and how the program outcomes are supported.
Assessment documents should clearly communicate what is being done with the data results and
how it is contributing to the improvement of the program and curriculum.
Designing quality assessment tools or tasks involves multiple considerations if it is to be fit
for purpose. The set of assessments in a course should be planned to provide students with the
opportunity to learn as they engage with formative tasks as well as the opportunity to
demonstrate their learning through summative tasks. Encouraging the student through the use
of realistic, authentic experiences is an exciting challenge for the course faculty team, who are
responsible for the review and quality enhancements to assessment practices.
b) Summative assessment
The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of a Course by
comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Examples of summative assessments include:
4. a final project
5. a paper
6. Semester-End Examination (For courses running in Semester mode)
7. End-Term Examination (For courses running in Annual Mode)
Information from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or
faculty use it to guide their efforts and activities in subsequent courses.
c)Weightage
The formative and summative assessments are given 50-50 weightage to ensure proper learning
levels among the students.
