Evaluation Techniques
Case study would be evaluated on the understanding of the student about the problem being discussed. Students would be expected to
apply the theoretical concepts to solve the problem. Students are required to give multiple solutions to the problems and select a
solution and justify as to reasons for chosen that as the best solution. Students would also be evaluated on their contribution to the
discussions.
