Briefly write about your method of making Quality Assessment in this Course and its outcome.
Quality assessment was done by conducting fortnight quizzes through Quizziz. All the students
were actively participated in all the quizzes and finally mean mark was calculated from all the results. All
the students were assigned to work out the economics of bee keeping and sericulture. In addition, they
were assigned to prepare bankable projects in the same.

Although the question pattern was MCQ type, question was set according to the quality standards and more
than 75% students secured above 80 marks.
Students were insisted to visit their nearby apiaries and silk worm rearing units and
learnt about the management of productive insects
Video lessons were shown during practical hours about recent advanced technologies
in apiculture, sericulture and lac culture
To become the successful entrepreneur, students were taught to work out the economics
of bee keeping and sericulture. Bankable projects were prepared by the students.
Quiz was conducted at the end of every unit of the syllabus. Students participated
actively in the brainstorming sessions and all the quizzes.
