The major underpinning theory is given below based on the higher level UOs of Revised Bloom’s taxonomy that are formulated for development of the COs and competency. If required, more such UOs could be included by the course teacher to focus on attainment of COs and competency. Note: The Unit Outcomes (UOs) need to be formulated at the ‘Application Level’ and above of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy’ to accelerate the attainment of the COs and the competency.
