principles involved. Learning outcomes
here represent a higher intellectual level
than comprehension and application
because they require an understanding
of both the content and the structural
form of the material.
# It may be noted that the labs in this course are not the conventional ‘hands-on lab’, it is rather a computer programming
course. Therefore, instead of psychomotor domain (P3), the Lab CLO has been assigned to a cognitive domain (C4)
level.
