Minutes of the Meeting

Members had a discussion on offering Music Theory I & II as part of GC, as a Value-Added Certificate Course through the MCC-SCE, for their Semester I & Semester II respectively.

a. The MCC-SCE will be administering the course.

b. The Course will be offered like any other GC Course for 60 hours.

c. On successfully completing the course, a Course Certificate will be given to the students.

d. A student who wishes to do Music Theory II directly, [without doing Music Theory I] should satisfy the necessary prerequisites. They will have to go through a condensed version of Music Theory I (in online modules /e-content) and take up an assessment as well.

It was decided to take this forward, after we receive our Principal’s suggestions and inputs in this regard.

Reminder of Actionables and Timelines was also given.

1. Compiling the suggestions from all those who are marked and preparing the curriculum (July last week)

2. Positioning it as part of GE, GC or ID accordingly (August first week)

3. To consult with Mr. Augustin Paul soliciting opinion as an external expert (August second week)

4. Constituting the BoS and executing the same (September first week)

5. Presenting in the pre-Board (September second week)

6. Academic council (To be scheduled in October as per the progress in other departments)
