Introduction to Program: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The primary objective of the Master of Science in Neuropsychology Programme is to provide the student with skills to work as an entry level Professional Neuropsychologist. The programme aims to provide fundamental knowledge in central nervous system functioning with implications for cognition, affect and behaviour across developmental stages. The course also aims to train the student in skills in assessment and intervention of individuals with neurological, neurosurgical and psychiatric conditions including traumatic brain injury, dementia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders and developmental disorders. The student is also trained in skills required for neuropsychological research. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Programme Outcome/Programme Learning Goals/Programme Learning Outcome: PO1: Demonstrate a theoretical understanding and evidence-based conceptualization of relevant neuropsychological domains including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and the cognitive and neurobiological basis of behaviourPO2: Demonstrate evidence-based conceptualization of neuropsychiatric cases, assessments and interventions through practicum and laboratory exposure PO3: Generate ideas, arguments, proposals or solutions in designing and performing research; and communicate research findings through manuscripts, short reports, case studies, and meta-analysis PO4: Advocate the field through engagement with community stakeholders by providing neuropsychological services PO5: Demonstrate awareness and analysis of ethical issues and discuss and apply strategies to address ethics and laws associated with the research and practice of neuropsychology | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Assesment Pattern | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Assessment Pattern
For two credit courses the breakup of CIA is as follows Grading Pattern
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Examination And Assesments | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Formative and Summative assessments are conducted by the department to ascertain the readiness for learning and the attainment of learning outcomes. Assessments are examinations are based on competency frame work and principles of outcome-based education. Attainment of learning outcomes/ expected competencies is evaluated using either holistic or analytic rubrics, grading schemes or attainment criteria specified to the students at the beginning of the semester. Learning outcomes (Course outcomes) of each course are mapped to programme outcomes. Assessments and examinations follow the principle of constructive alignment and outcomes are mapped to higher order thinking skills. Most common frameworks used in this programme include Revised Blooms Taxonomy, and Structure of Observed Learning outcomes (SOLO) and ICAP framework. |

This Course will introduce students to the domain of academic writing and its intricacies. Every student, regardless of his or her area of interest, will be called upon to use an academic style of writing at different levels and at various points in time. This Course will therefore seek to impart such knowledge about the styles of writing used in the current academic scenario. It will provide students with opportunities in the classroom setting to practice such styles, both individually and in collaboration with others. Course Objectives:

Reflection is a core component of Community service. It is a period of critical thinking performed by the student and is based on a specific or overall experience of the student. It guides students towards greater personal development by coming to a better understanding of their own values, opinions, and assumptions. The types of reflection which can be used are, class discussion, brainstorming, sharing of critical personal and group incidents, directed writings, experiential research paper, student portfolios and so on. The students are expected to discuss in groups at the end of this course using the following guidelines. Reason for choosing the organization • The planning phase of service-learning initiatives • Logistics for the initiative of the action • Stakeholders/beneficiaries • Execution of the action initiative • Specific learning outcome • Evaluation | |
