To achieve its vision and goals, Enat College is directing its performance and efforts by the
following philosophy (values):
□ Effectiveness
□ Efficiency
□ Team Work
□ Competence
The purpose of the curriculum review process is to ensure the quality and institutional curricular
“fit” (i.e. vision, mission and plan) of Programs. Within the programs, this process is to ensure
the quality of Degrees & Certificates are relevant and in demand; and that Course Outlines of
Record (COR) are up to date and reflect state of the discipline quality standards for content and
delivery in the curricular offerings at the institution.
The Cluster Chairs are responsible for taking the lead for the departments in their areas
facilitating the disciplinary faculty of record to develop, review and update curriculum. In this
process, the Chairs Committee, the Institutional Effectiveness Committee (IEC) and Curriculum
Committee, with full support of the Office of Instruction, will provide substantive administrative
and material support to the Cluster Chairs Committee and disciplinary faculty of record.
In the process of updating curriculum, it is important to note that the Technical Review
Committee assesses the degree to which CORs are “technically correct” in determining if a
degree, certificate, or course is ready for Curriculum Committee action. These “technical issues”
are not about the content per se, but rather about adherence to current State Academic Standards
for a quality COR that enables other institutions to know clearly what it is we teach in ac given
course (e.g. this is important in the articulation and transfer processes for students).

Institutional Quality Audit team. Both internal and external procedures operate according
to sector-wide guidance that is provided by HERQA, working on behalf of the Ministry of
Education.
4.3 Aims:
ENAT COLLEGE generally adopts the concept of quality as ‘fitness for purpose’ in
relation to the needs of stakeholders and in compliance with the Requirements established

and thereby guide the process of reflecting on strengths and weaknesses and indicate
how strengths will be built on and how weaknesses will be addressed
5 Unit of Assessment
The institution as a whole, a particular campus or faculty, an e d u c a t i o n center, an
academic department or a study program can be considered independently as a
unit of assessment in the context of this guideline. Each unit and the activities associated
with it such as programs on offer, infrastructure and Learning resources, personnel,
management system, administrative structure, etc may serve as input and contribute to the
total assessment of the institution.
5. The campus / center evaluate its academic programs and related activities regularly
following established guidelines and procedures and prepare a Self-Assessment Report
(SAR). This report (1) guides the unit’s management through continuous review of its
programs; (2) periodically provides information to the College Management so that
an
6. Evaluation of the quality of the programs on offer at the campus, or center can be made and
guidance can be provided.

1. Following established guidelines and procedures established by College’s Education and
Training Quality Assurance Office and recommended by the Higher Education Relevance and
Quality Agency (HERQA).
2. Stating the obvious;
3. Identifying the strengths of their programs and offering clear evidence to Support the
claims;
4. Honestly identifying the weaknesses of their programs and stating Strategies to

education. This can only be achieved by continual monitoring and close supervision of the teaching
departments.

activities of the College need also to expand. In this regard, studies will have to be conducted to identify
educational needs in various areas and introduce relevant new programs to meet these needs. Short, mid
and long-term plans will have to be developed and implemented. In short, in the best interest of ENAT
College, the supervision and monitoring of teaching departments on the one hand, and the overall vision
for the steady growth of the College, on the other, are best handled separately in a coordinate manner.
Finally, ENAT College led by purpose and passion: Committed to meet the needs of students through
focusing on entrepreneurship, leadership, incubation and being a networked college with global alliances.
These can be achieved by the college’s approach such as Student-cantered policies and practices,

Hours (LEHs). A Lecture Equivalent Hour is normally 1 credit hour, and a credit hour

2. Class Sizes per Section
Note:
Load is defined as the total credit hours of teaching and related assignment an Academic Staff
carries, which takes into account the total lecture equivalent hours of courses, class size,
contact hours, research work, student advising, administrative duties and other items that the
Senate considers as a load.
Full work load is the number of hours that an Academic Staff is required to work for the
institution. Any Academic Staff is expected to spend about 39 hours of work per week in
preparing for courses, teaching, research, administrative work, committee assignment, student
advising, etc.
Full teaching load is the number of credit hours beyond which an Academic Staff is not
required to teach without compensation (extra pay) for extra lecture equivalent hour of work
rendered.
Considering that an Academic Staff is expected to work for 39 hours per week, the full
teaching load of a full time Academic Staff is 12 LEHs. Based on the assumption given in sub-
article 1 of this Article, 12 LEHs are equivalent to 36 hours of work per week. Every Academic
Staff is required to advise/consult students for up to 3 hours a week.
The teaching staff members of the College are expected to engage in research activities.

Except in extra ordinary situation, an academic staff is not expected to handle more than three
different courses. In case a course is offered to more than one section, each extra section will have 2/3

OR
b) Remunerative compensation at the prevailing rate for part-time employment in regular
program.
Teaching loads for all staff members engaged in teaching (full or part-time) shall be reported each
semester by academic unit heads through their respective channel to the AVP on forms prepared
for this purpose before the end of the fourth week after the start of classes. Justifications have to
be provided in writing in instances where the teaching load of an Academic Staff is below the
average or above the maximum.

obtaining the bachelors degree subject to the approval of the ASQAC.
2.3 The candidate must produce a minimum of two letters of recommendation from
undergraduate instructors, employers or professional Associates.
3 Provisional Admissions
Students admitted to a program from a field of specialization other than the intended
area of specialization will be required to take undergraduate courses which will be
determined by the SC/DC.
3.1 A student given provisional admission has to complete the prescribed courses
before being formally accepted as a regular graduate student. The performance
Page 111 of 134
of the student in the prescribed undergraduate courses will not be considered for
SANG/SGPA and/or CANG/CGPA calculation but will appear on the transcript.
3.2 The duration of the student's stay in the Colleges a provisionally admitted
student shall be determined by the Academic units concerned, but shall not
exceed one academic year.
3.3 A provisionally admitted student who has satisfactorily completed the
prescribed undergraduate courses shall be granted regular graduate student
status.
3.4 A provisionally admitted student may, upon permission of the DGC, register for
and take graduate level courses as qualified.
3.5 Such a student must obtain a grade of at least C in the undergraduate courses
taken as prescribed in sub-article 3.3 of this Article.
2. A total of 9 to 12 credit hours per semester shall normally be regarded as full load for
full time PhD candidate.
3. A total of six credit hours shall be allotted to Master Thesis and 12 credit hours for PhD
Dissertation.
4. Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-articles 1 and 2 hereof, the credit requirements
for candidates shall be determined by the SC/DC.

program shall fulfill the special conditions set forth by theSC/DC.
5. The PhD programs shall normally take three to four academic years for completion in
all academic units.
6. No PhD candidate may anticipate finishing a program in less than two academic years.
7. A PhD candidate may be allowed to continue for up to a maximum of six years if it can
be shown that the extension is required by force majeure and if it is recommended by
the DGC and SC/DC. Such extension of time shall be recommended by the DGC and
approved by the SC/DC every semester.
1. Probation is a discretionary decision to allow candidates who failed to score below the
required standards of the College to continue their studies. But, since the purpose of
probation is to facilitate the academic rehabilitation of such students, the decision is
made based on the validity of the reasons and considering other relevant circumstances
which are convincing that the student can academically raise himself to the required
level of academic achievement.
2. At the end of each semester the DGC shall examine the case of each candidate who has
failed to maintain the minimum CGPA requirement of 3.00. The inquiry shall attempt
to determine why the candidate failed, and whether there is reason to believe the
candidate will meet the required academic standards in the future. A candidate may be
placed on discretionary probation if, as a result of this inquiry, it is determined that
valid reasons exist to explain and justify that academic failure can be removed and the
candidate can achieve the required academic standards at the time of graduation.
3. To the extent that inquiry into the cases of probation indicates, the DGC may attach
certain conditions to the granting of probation, which must then be met if the candidate
is to remain enrolled. These conditions may be restrictions designed to remove in
whole or in part the cause of academic failure.
4. When a candidate is placed on probation the candidate shall be notified by the head of
their status and what is expected of them by way of academic performance in the future,
the restrictions or requirements stipulated by the probation and the consequence of
failure to meet these conditions.
5. Probations are given if a student's semester GPA (SGPA) or cumulative GPA (CGPA)
fails below3.00.
6. A first year graduate student is subject to dismissal without first being put on probation
if academic performance falls below 2.50 in the first semester results.
7. Any first year graduate student who achieves a first semester GPA (SGPA) between
Page 115 of 134
2.50 and 3.00 shall be placed on probation by the DGC and any such student who had
been placed on probation shall be subject to dismissal if the student fails to achieve a
semester GPA of 3.00 in the next semester.
8. If a student (in sub-article 7 above) who had been placed on probation for the first time
in literature-based thesis programs, achieves a SGPA of 3.00 or above but
stillretainsaCGPAbelow3.00,theDGCmayplacethestudentonfinal probation in the
following semester if it finds that there is reason to believe that the student will attain
CGPA of 3.00 or above in the third semester.
9. For research-based thesis programs, if a student who had been placed on probation for
the first time achieves during the next semester, a SGPA of 3.00 or above but the CGPA
still falls below 3.00, the DGC may recommend such a student to repeat courses.
10. A student who had been placed twice on probation shall be dismissed for failing to
achieve a CGPA of 3.00 in the next semester.
11. Consecutive probations are given a maximum of two-times.
12. No candidate subject to dismissal may expect discretionary probation as a matter of
right.
Article 79: Repeating Courses at Graduate Program
1. Courses with "C" grades or lower may be repeated when the CGPA of the student is
less than 3.00 and if the student has more than one “C” in Master programs. For PhD
student all courses with “C” grades or lower shall be repeated.
2. The SC/DC, with the recommendation of the course instructor and the DGC, may allow
a student with a grade of “C” or lower to take re-exam, instead of repeating the course,
by assessing the overall performance or special conditions of the student on individual
basis.
3. A student may not repeat or take re-exam in a course more than twice unless it is
required for graduation.
4. The final grade for repeated courses or a course in which re-exam has been taken shall
be recorded and used for computation of CGPA.
5. A Master student is allowed to graduate with a minimum CGPA of 3.00 and only one
“C”. However, students having two “C+” shall be allowed to graduate as long as the
CGPA is not below3.00.

Executive summary
The role of an editor of teaching materials is pivotal, as it covers all stages of course preparation-
-initiation, development, production and even postproduction. The distance education editor has
a bit different responsibilities than that of face-to-face one. The editor in a distance education
system is concerned with the preparation of self-instructional materials. He has to see to it that
the materials satisfy the distance learners from heterogeneous backgrounds. He/she has to work
with course writers, educational technologists, media specialists and institutional administration
to produce the desired material. He/she is responsible for academic and pedagogical quality of
the material. Generally, the editor plays significant roles at all stages in developing written
course materials, from commissioning writers to final printing and subsequently, maintaining the
quality of materials. However, the involvement of the editor in these functions is determined by
the needs and infrastructure of the education institution for which he/she works.
Enat College 2
1. Major Editor’s activities at various stages
1.1 Planning Stage
1.1.1 Planning the Course
The editor works better if he/she understands very well the objectives of the proposed course.
He/she should therefore be invited to planning discussions as soon as the course grows beyond a
vague idea.
I. About the learners
The editor needs a thorough knowledge of the target group. Firstly, the course must be edited
with the students' needs in mind; secondly the editor has to be able to mould the course to fit
their level of understanding. An editor bridges the gap between students and writers; his/her job
can be seen as representing the students’ interest as the course is written
It is advisable also to identify the differences between distance education students and face-to-
face students before an editor involves himself in actual editing.
Common Characteristics
All distance students are lonely
No teacher is available to answer his or her burning questions.
They may have a wrong understanding of a certain idea & do not receive an
immediate correction.
If not all, most of the distance students hold family responsibilities that distract the
power of concentration.
By and large most of the distance students have job responsibilities.
Enat College 3
Variations among distance students
Distance student can be any person living in urban or rural area.
Distance students may be young or old people working in different organizations--
farms, factories prisoners, house wives
Distance students might be people who left school due to various reasons.
Contrary to the distance students, the face-to-face students have the benefit of face-to-face
learning. The teaching learning process is facilitated with a variety of questions to reinforce their
learning, and tell them to do some class works; then he gives notes on the lecture, and
encourages them not only to observe but also to record the results of an experiment.
Implications
The writer is obliged to know his student too. The student is the receiving end. The student is
the consumer.

Enat College 7
ii About the course objectives
The editor needs to be familiar with the educational objectives of a course. Objectives are not
only the basis for the writing of the course but they also serve as the main checklist for the
content of the material. The editor will not necessarily be a specialist in the subject of the course
but full understanding of the objectives compensates very largely for lack of particular
knowledge.
3. Writing Stage
3.1 Finding and briefing course writers
The range and nature of editorial work at this stage depends on the pattern of staffing and
infrastructure of a given teaching institution. If the institution depends on external writers for
writing the courses or on the newly recruited staff who do not have adequate training in writing
educational courses, the difficulty and the complexity of editorial work increase considerably. If
you are depending on external writers, your first job requirements as and editor will be to look
for course writers.
As an individual, he/she may be a part-time or a full-time course writer. Part-time writers are
selected from various colleges and educational institutions engaged in teaching the same subjects
to students with similar background. They are basically teachers and are engaged part-time for
doing certain writing tasks for the conventional/distance education institutions.
Enat College 8
A course team is generally developed by conventional universities /open universities or distance
education institutions where the course writers with different subject sepcialisations come
together. The team may include the following as its members:
i) Convener/Chairperson: He / She is responsible for the overall quality of the course.
ii) Course authors: These are subject experts who are
responsible for writing texts/units, devising practical
exercises, preparing assessment materials, etc.
i. Media producer(s): Media experts produce audio-visual
materials.
i. Educational technologist(s): Experts in instructional design constitute in improving
the teaching and learning (e.g., defining objectives, choosing appropriate teaching
strategies for optimum learning, etc.) qualities of study materials.
ii. Editors: Experts who help the writers in polishing the texts linguistically and also in
ensuring the consistency and the correctness of the content.
iii. Graphic designers: They advise the team on layout, type style and the overall graphic
design of the text.
Advantages of having a Course Team
As the members of the team share the work, course can be produced according to set
schedules easily.
Discussion and mutual criticism can be stimulating and it improves the quality of the text.
Individuals may work faster as among other things they are prompted by the expectations
of their colleagues.
This is a democratic way of writing the texts.
We can draw upon a wider range of the experience of teaching a subject.
Enat College 9
You will find it useful to know what sort of background your writers bring to the work, just as
you need to know your students' background. Find out what relevant experience your writer
has, so that you know where he/she will need help.
The 'right kind' of course writers are the writers who have sufficient experience in writing face-
to-face or distance teaching materials. If such people are not available, our next preference will
be writers who know their subjects well and also have teaching experience. These writers may
be asked to supply the content, which you can reshape with the help of educational technologists
and instructional designers. The writers of this kind can be called 'content specialists' or ' subject
experts'.
There is a third category of people who can come to the rescue of the editor in times of
emergency: Young academics who may not have much experience in teaching but have
potential to become effective course writers. Given adequate training and ample opportunities
these young academics can become well versed in all the aspects of course development and
course production. Of course, different teaching institutions make their choice of course writers,
depending on their particular needs and the availability of course writers they need.
How does the editor get these writers? One way of 'identifying' or 'discovering' effective course
writers may be through proper and clear advertisement. When you put up an advertisement in
newspapers, you should clearly state the course requirements of your institution such as the
nature and length of the course, the time limit you would allow the writers to send their written
materials to you and, if possible, the format or structure to be followed by the writers while
presenting the content.
In deciding who to appoint the following should be considered:
Has the writer had any teaching experience at the level for which the person is being
recruited to write?
Does the writer know the subject well?
Does the writer have any understanding of the needs of the learners?
Has the writer had writing experience?
Enat College
10
Is the writer prepared to undergo training?
Is the writer reliable and able to keep to schedules?
Does the writer have enough time to write
Will the writer be able to attend frequent meetings to discuss the work?
Enat College
11
Obviously, you might have anticipated all the above-mentioned problems, and perhaps many
more. In spite of your best efforts, something goes wrong and the content material does not
reach you. The deadline for getting it from the writer is over. What will you do in such a
situation?
To avoid any such difficult situation, it is always better to plan in advance and give the writers
enough time to write. Also prepare a panel of writers. List as many writers as possible in your
panel so that in times of emergency you can readily seek someone's help.
The workshop provides an opportunity for writers and an editor to discuss and work together in
writing. The objective is to make the writers understand well about the techniques of writing and
produce the required course material.
Enat College
12
A pre- pilot
It refers to mean testing the sample lesson (a section of a course) as opposed to a pilot, which
tests the whole course.
Who does it? There are often many complex variables involved, and it is peculiarly difficult to
find a typical sample of potential students. Therefore, it will be advisable to find a small group
of volunteer students who can be easily contacted.
Independent assessment
An outsider is needed at this stage to advise on the academic quality of the lesson. At this stage
he will look at the course outline and the sample lesson.
What can you learn? You can learn some very useful things even from a pilot of one lesson.
You may find the lesson is too difficult for your student group and you may find out that you
have chosen the wrong approach.
What questions should you ask about the sample lesson?
Is the teaching material chosen to meet the objectives appropriate?
Are the exercises in the lesson sufficient and of a suitable type to train the
students in the relevant skills?
Are there any recent developments in teaching practice, which could help,
improve the course here?
Is the lesson material pitched at the right level for the course syllabus?
3.4 Starting to write the course
Based on the experience gained from the sample lesson, now the course writers are required to
write the course within a given time frame.
Enat College
13
3.5 Processing the written materials
Somehow you overcome these initial processes and get the written materials from the subject
experts. But the materials are only 'raw materials' in a special sense. You cannot use them
straightway for face-to-face or distance teaching. You have to 'process' them with the help of
educational technologists and other academics of your institution. You have to turn the 'raw
materials' (the bare contents or the 'text') into 'finished products' (face-to-face or distance
teaching texts, units, blocks, courses etc.) and supply the commodities in packages (modules,
booklets, units assignments, audio-video cassettes, CD) to the target groups.
4 Editing Stage
4.1. Content Editing
The content is the basic of the given material. Therefore, the editor has to consider the stated
objectives, relevance and adequacy of the course material while editing. The following are
essential reference points in the editing process:
x Originality
x No plagiarism
x Is the content related to the learners need?
x Is the material accessible, neither too academic nor too patronizing
x Does the material build upon the learner's experience?
x Relevance
x Is the content adequate? (If the wirier of a foundation course has written about a few
important points in detail and leaves out other general aspects of a given subject, then,
we say the content is inadequate.)
x Is the level appropriate? (If an undergraduate course is loaded with difficult points,
which are meant for postgraduates or research students, we may say that the content
is inappropriate.)
x Logical sequence (development of ideas from easy to difficult, from known to
unknown, from simple to complex)
Enat College
14
Check the material for:
Technical accuracy, which involves
x assessing how adequately the objectives have been met,
x noting factual errors and points of disagreement,
x making suggestions for addition or deletions,
x making comments about the way the topic has been handled,
x commenting on the educational effectiveness of the material.
4.2. Language editing
x It is the language used that makes the material
comprehensible or difficult
interesting or boring
x Accessible language:
simple, clear and short sentence
conciseness
choice of words
e.g. one, five, 17, 20 -----
x Consistency
English- English /American English
Number up to ten must be spelt out in letters and umbers more than ten expressed
in numerals
For numbers of five or more digits use a space and not a comma
eg. 1 000 000 and not 1,00,000
x Spelling, grammar and punctuation
x Use of active verbs /avoid passive forms of verbs

Glossary
Does the module /unit contains a glossary of new terms/
concepts along with their working definitions ---?
x Check the coverage of any glossary in the typescript;
x See whether the author has omitted some difficult words and included some that are
unnecessary.
x See that spelling, accents and ligatures tally with the text.
Enat College
21
x Check also the alphabetical order, the use of italic and the punctuation
Some dangers:
(1) If there is a glaring error, one's eye tends to leap over the intervening words; so, when you
have marked the correction, read the whole line again.
Enat College
22
(2) Whereas a word that is obviously misspelt is fairly easy to spot, a printer's error can change
one word to another and this is more likely to slip through: for example, 'causal relationship'
can become 'casual relationship', 'ingenuous' 'ingenious', 'unexceptionable' 'unexceptional',
'alternatively' 'alternately'. Watch out also for 'its' and 'it's'; and 'yours' and 'theirs'
sometimes appear with apostrophes.
(3) On the other hand, the author may intentionally not use the obvious word but substitute
something similar in look but different in meaning, just to give his readers a jolt; so one
must not take it for granted that a slightly different word is necessarily wrong.
(4) If a printer is asked to retain American spellings, he may through habit spell 'some words in
the British way. Watch for this specially, because otherwise the British spellings will not
strike you as wrong.

Why pre-test?
One of the most important reasons why instructional materials should be pre-tested is to
determine how suitable they are. They need to meet the needs of the learners, the course
objectives and be relevant to the socio-economic context in which the learners are living. Of
course you must also determine if the materials have up-to-date and accurate information. Pre-
testing also helps to make sure whether the material is interesting and motivating.
How do we pre-test?
Once you have identified the people who will give you feedback on the course, you now need to
say exactly who they are and how many will be involved in the pre-testing. There is no need to
limit the number of experts since they are usually very few. If your institution or organization is
a large one you may want to use only a certain number of your peers. Remember to select a
representative sample.
What do you do with the pre-test results?
All the data you get from the pre-testing must be converted into usable information. Once you
have all this information you should use it to improve your course material. Some of the
improvements may be quick and easy to do. Others may take longer time. Among the easily fix
items are:
correcting typing errors,
spelling corrections,
numbering properly,
improving headings,
correcting captions and labels,
correcting grammar and punctuation mistakes,
explaining difficult words,
shortening long sentences,
making small changes on illustrations,
giving the correct answers or feedback to exercises and activities.
The following areas of improvement may take a longer time to correct:
Enat College
32
preparing new illustrations.
adding new content,
simplifying the content,
rewriting paragraphs,
adding in-text questions or new objectives,
making a new assignment or exercises and activities.
Enat College

Printing is the end stage of the production of educational materials. It determines how attractive
and effective the materials are and therefore, how well they are received. The quality of paper,
of course, will also determine how durable and appealing the materials are.
As indicated above the editor is given a broad role. The editor should co-ordinate all the
activities related to the development, productions, and maintenance of course materials. The
editor cannot confine himself/herself to one or a few specialized areas of functioning like the
editors of other institutions such as newspapers or publishing houses. The editor must have
special skills to function as an academic, manager, administrator, adviser, etc in order to get the
course materials ready on time and in good shape. Moreover, the editor has to maintain
systematic record of the reactions from students, experts and the enlightened public in order to
maintain the quality of the materials. The aforementioned responsibilities of an editor depend
mainly on the nature of the institution concerned. Such a choice is made on the criteria such as
economic, administrative, academic, availability of expertise etc.

that all program faculties have posted their schedules for advising, however, an interview with
department heads and a focus Group discussion with academic staff members and students reveal
that students are not availing themselves of this service. The team further found that the campus
management has not established academic advising policies and procedures. Although students
have a responsibility in this regard, given the significance of academic advising as the very core
of institutional efforts to educate and retain students, the campus management needs to focus its
efforts on making students aware of the advising services and also identify the root causes for

5.9 Guidelines for editing any teaching material produced by Enat College
Any editor (content or language) shall edit the text against the following fundamental
editing principles:
The opportunity for members of the academic staff to engage in consultancy activities outside
Enat College is a privilege long recognized as beneficial both to the individual faculty member
and to Enat College.
The purpose of the guideline on consulting and related activities is to state the limits on such
activities and the reasons for these limits. Consulting can provide an important means of
continuing education for the academic staff and can provide them with experience in their
professional fields outside the College.
Although such attributes of consulting may make academic staff better scholars and teachers, the
employer-employee nature of the consulting process has in it a potential for distraction of the
teaching staff from their primary activities and responsibilities.
The basic principle of the guideline on consultancy is, therefore, the need for limiting the time
that an academic staff may spend in consulting. The limits set are intended to strike a balance
between consulting and regular College duties and serve to safeguard the interests of both
parties. The maximum number of days that an academic staff member can spend in consulting
work is recommended to be 15 days in any one Semester and 30 days in one Academic Year.
time that should have been used for College duties. The College will therefore be entitled to
share the revenue (the gross consultancy fee less the tax) generated. On the basis of these facts,
revenue generated through consultancy works may be shared as follows:
