8. Information Literacy Courses

Purpose Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information. Information is available through libraries, community resources, special interest organizations, media, and the Internetand increasingly, information comes to individuals in unfiltered formats, raising questions about its authenticity, validity, and reliability. In addition, information is available through multiple media, including graphical, aural, and textual, and these pose new challenges for individuals in evaluating and understanding it. Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. It enables learners to master content and extend their investigations, become more self-directed, and assume greater control over their own learning. An information literate individual is able to: Determine the extent of information needed Access the needed information effectively and efficiently Evaluate information and its sources critically Incorporate selected information into ones knowledge base Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally Course Stages 1. At the beginning of a semester, the Supervisor (one of the faculty members is appointed for this course ) asks each student to submit a topic of interest from the defined scope of study, with the list of available resources (mainly refereed journals). The scope of study is limited for each semester as given below. Semester I Semester II Semester III Semester V : Application Software : System Software : Technology Focus : Focus on Domain Elective
2. Approval of Topics: The Supervisor reviews the topics given by the students and allots the topics ( by the second week) in such a manner that not more than three students to get the same topic. The Supervisor provides guidelines to the students to approach various resources and explore the topic 3. Problem Definition: To clarify and understand the requirements of the problem or task for which information is sought, each student is expected to define the problem of study (abstract) in 200 words and submit it online by the fourth week of the semester. Students must also include various references available on the topic. The work of each student must be unique, although all those who have the same topic can discuss and share ideas online through official discussion forum of the course. 4. Organizing/synthesizing: Examining the resources that were found, the information must be determined to be useful or not useful in solving the problem must be identified. The useful resources are selected and the inappropriate resources are rejected. Information, which has been selected, is organized and a schema of the final paper is presented to the supervisor by teh sixth week of the semester.
MCA Curriculum 2008 CBCS Batch 2nd Version

5. Paper Submission: Each student submits the final paper online by the eighth week of the semester. It is mandatory that each student has participated in the online discussion forum along with the supervisor and other group members. 6. Presentation: Each student makes a presentation of the topic after the review by the supervisor and necessary corrections. The presentation is approved by the supervisor and is ready for
th th
presentation to the entire class from 10 to 15 week of the semester. While the Report is evaluated by the Supervisor as continuous assessment, the final presentation is evaluated by the Supervisor along with the peers. Evaluation Scheme 1.

9. Software Project [III, IV, V Semester]

The Project work carried out by the students in the Third, Fourth, and the Fifth semester of MCA is a Team Work. The Department decides the formation of the teams, having ut most three members for a group, basing on the technology specialization chosen by the students. Each team has to select a unique problem space for which the students will develop and enhance the solution space in three stages for MCA. The Initial solution for the problem will be obtained by applying the technology they learn in third semester. The Solution space is enhanced and stabilized by applying advanced technologies during the Fourth and Fifth semesters which they learn in the corresponding semesters. The solutions obtained in the Third, Fourth, and the Fifth semesters will be considered as separate projects for evaluation. Each student in a Team has to deal with a specific area in the problem. The report submitted at the end of each semester is an individual work and it has to be submitted as a PDF document. The students can not ordinarily change the project groups after a semester. For Personal reasons, if a student wants to break away from a group, he/she has to continue working on the same problem space as a single person. The group will follow Team Software Process (TSP) model strictly for project development. Each group is assigned a faculty member as Project Supervisor to monitor the progress of the project work. Each student has to get the approval for their preparations from their supervisors before each Lab Session. Phases of the Project work are Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing Artifacts to be prepared during the Phases are: o Software Project Initiation Statement o System Study o Software Requirement Specification o Software Analysis and Design o Test Case Design Two Reviews will be conducted after the Design and Testing Phases respectively.

10. Software Project Final Semester

The Project work can be either carried out in a R&D section of any Industry / University / Institute. A Coordinator will be appointed by the Head of the Department to coordinate the Project Work. Internal guides from the department will be assigned to the students. As soon as a student joins a institution for the project work, he/she has to send the contact details of the organization and the external guide to the department (to the Internal Guide & the Project coordinator). o Project title and the Platform o Address of the Organization (Phone number, Fax number, E-mail address, URL) o Address for Communication (where the student stays during the project) o Telephone / Mobile number (Personal) / Personal E-mail ID. The duration of the project should be at least four month. Periodically (weekly) the students should be send project Task Report to their internal guide through mail Two Reviews will be conducted before the Final Viva-Voce. The Project work should be an independent one; if the project is a part of a bigger project, the students work should have a few independent modules. If more than one student is working on parts of the same project (big enough to share) the report of each student should be different and not two copies of the same report.

th th
solution during 4 and 5 semesters. For their final project, these students may continue their research project or be directly placed in related Research Centres or Companies for project work and recruitment. Based on the research focus and problems posed, the students are expected to prepare an individual
th th
technical report (at least 100 pages) on the field of their study. Theme for Technical Report in 4 and 5 semesters will be different. Based on the technical report, a written and oral examination is conducted. Each student is expected to publish a paper in one of the national conferences or journals. In these research papers, they will present the outcome of their experiments and analysis. This course aims to achieve an understanding of the research challenges by assigned readings, technical report writing, discussions and presentations on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the subject under study. Two research outputs shall be submitted by the students as their Research Portfolio namely Technical Report and Research Survey. An input session is given on research methodology for the selected students. 2. COURSE ELEMENTS a.
