• Code & Title • Assign total Credit of the course / Contact
hours
• Allot Number of Modules• Assign Credit for each module / Contact hours• Develop Modules Content (Course Content for
the module)
• Suggest Text Books for each module• Suggest Reference books
• Frame Model Question Papers• Set the Evaluation Scheme
Course codes • First two letters indicates the name of subject (AR/EN)• First digit (1) to indicate First Degree Programme • Second digit to indicate the semester (1/2/3/4/5/6)• Third digit to indicate type of course : 1-Language Courses,2-Foundation Courses, 3-Complementary Courses, 4-Core Courses,
5 – open Courses• Last digit to indicate the course number in the semester • Extension Number (ie, digit after dot) indicate the
programme category as1 for regular BA/B.Sc, 2 for Bcom and 3 for career related B.Sc / B.com
• For example EN 1111 ( FDP English, 1st semester, Language course, course number 1 in the semester)AR1211.3 (Career relatedFDP Arabic, 2nd semester Additional language course number 1in th Sem.)
