Assessment

Throughout the individual programmes, assessment methods at Skyline Business School are designed to enable students to develop their own potential and permit a close working relationship between the learning experience and individual assessment.

Aim of AssessmentThe aim of the assessment is to test whether the student has achieved the stated learning outcomes for the Programme as a whole and the specific unit in particular.

PrinciplesThe assessment of the course is governed by a number of principles:

With the exception of the independent study, all units are normally assessed by a ��

combination of course work, assessment and formal examination weighted in each unit generally at 50:50 though it may be changed from time to time and from course to course

Each course work incorporates periodic tests, which will be part of the written unit and ��

therefore, prescribed at its commencement; each unit will also include deadlines for the presentation of the course work

The Independent Study must be in an area that is relevant to the named Award. ��

Those students attaining grade – ‘D’ or ‘F’ – are given an opportunity to improve their grade within a stipulated period of time.

This grading policy may differ between courses.

A student’s final course grade will be determined by consideration of the following factors:

1. Attendance: 75% attendance is compulsory for all courses. This facilitates interaction with the instructor and fellow students as the highest level of learning is achieved by this method. Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are barred from the final examination of that unit.

2. Reading: Every student is expected to have thoroughly read and reviewed all reading assignments from the required text or other reference material.

3. Discussion: Students must participate in regular classroom discussions as concepts are cleared and fresh perspectives are formed.

4. Testing and Writing Projects: Students will complete online tests for online courses and case studies for offline courses.

5. Assignments: Students complete group and individual assignments for the course. Group projects inculcate team spirit.

6. Seminars: Students are expected to attend maximum number of seminars by guest faculty, weekly quizzes, as well as seminars conducted outside where Skyline students are sent. Attendance in external seminars leads to bonus points. All of these methods help students in maximising their learning, particularly as they are able to see direct linkages between theory and practice.

Skill Enhancement

Many students generally display limited skill sets. It has been Skyline’s endeavour to maximise each student’s professional and social skills and prepare them for responsible positions at the place of work. Management games bring out those areas which need most attention, among them being communication (written, verbal and body language) personal presentations, ability to work in teams, leadership and qualities of tolerance. HR experts also give training by identifying attitudes as well as personal goals and drivers. In each semester, special emphasis is also laid on corporate requirements and ability to understand each incumbency, face competition and sustain positions, and an ability to stay updated in the changing environment and stay ahead in knowledge of the relevant work area.

Mock interviews and group discussions are held/conducted to test whether the students have been able to develop the skills that they initially lacked and later imbibed at the institute. Students are also encouraged to participate in inter-college events in areas of professional competence like business quizzes, paper presentations, business plans and advertising events.

Students organise events on their own initiative and management with minimal support from faculty. This develops their organisational skills while keeping the perspective of managing within budgets.

From the Director’s Desk

Through these pages, we give you a glimpse of a student’s years at Skyline. A glimpse of the expectations of students from us and our expectations from the students. Success undoubtedly will be spelt out when both expectations match each other. Our success story has been written by our students, who are now all over the globe. Students who are in organisations, that know us through them and vice versa.

We have always believed that education must necessarily be a part of mainstream Business and Corporate activity. While interacting with Corporates during their project and internships we get immense insight into our students’ acceptability in the corporate sector, and whether they have imbibed skills which will lead them through their course. As the pace of change is unprecedented, the new world demands new skills and aptitudes. And this is our ultimate vision. To see our students well equipped for the new world.

We invite those who wish to share our vision.

Praveen Puri
