Term | Meaning |
Course | Course is a Degree/Diploma program offered at a university. Example: 1. Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)-B.Sc (Comp.Sc.) 2. Bachelor of Computer Application -BCA |
Subject | S is a subject/paper offered in different semesters of a course. Example: Software Engineering (SE) in 6thSemester and Information Technology (IT) in 1st Semester of B.Sc(Comp. Sc). |
Modules/ Units | For each subject, there is a prescribed syllabus having different modules/units. A set of related topics is grouped as one unit/module. Each module is allotted a particular weightage. Example: Module on Software Requirement in SE subject has weightage of 30% in the 6th semester of B.Sc (Comp. Sc). |
Educational Taxonomy | A classification system of educational objectives based on level of student understanding necessary for achievement or mastery. Example- Benjamin Bloom, Solo etc. |
m, n, TM | m, n, TM are the Instructor specified number of modules, number of levels and total marks respectively for generating a dynamic QPT. |
Module (pi) | pi is the ith module specified by Instructor for QPT, p=<p1…,pm > |
Taxonomy Level (qj) | qj is the jth level specified by Instructor for QPT, q=<q1,…,qn> |
Module Weight (ui) | ui is the weight assigned to the ith module in the QPT |
Level Weight (lj) | lj is the weight assigned to the jth level in the QPT |
Module-Level-Weight (xij) | xij is the weight assigned to the ith module of jh level in the QPT |
Question Paper Template (QPT) of maximum marks TM | QPT is an m×n matrix with rows representing Modules pi (i= 1 to m), columns representing Educational Taxonomy Levels qj (j= 1 to n), cells representing ith module of jh level xij such that lj =TM |
m`, n`, tm | m`, n`, tm are the Instructor specified number of modules, number of levels and total marks respectively for generating a scaled QPT. |
Scaled Module-Level-Weight (x`vw) | x`vw is the scaled weight assigned to the vth module of wth level. |
Scaled Module Weight (u`v) | u`v is the scaled weight assigned to the vth module |
Scaled Level Weight (l`w) | l`w is the scaled weight assigned to the wth level |
Scaled QPT (qpt) of maximum marks tm | qpt is an m`×n` matrix generated from QPT by scaling its rows with respect to m` modules and scaling its columns with respect to n` levels such that l`w=tm |
