*PA (M): 10 marks for Active Learning Assignments, 20 marks for other methods of PA; The

faculty may also allocate additional marks out of PA for Practical for Student Activities.

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Students will prepare

(i) A case study on a present day electronic system of choice.

(ii) Power-point slides, which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better

understanding theory and practical work – The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to

groups of students so that the entire syllabus of Basic Electronics is covered. The power-point

slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the

students of the group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide.
