- 6. SUGGESTED LIST OF EXERCISES/PRACTICAL The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt to develop different types of practical skills (Course Outcomes in psychomotor and affective domain) so that students are able to acquire the competencies (Programme Outcomes). Following is the list of practical exercises for guidance. Note: Here only Course Outcomes in psychomotor domain are listed as practical/exercises. However, if these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also lead to development of Programme Outcomes/Course Outcomes in affective domain as given in a common list at the beginning of curriculum document for this programme. Faculty should refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire those Programme Outcomes/Course Outcomes related to affective domain. S. No.
