Guidelines for Laboratory Conduction

 Lab Assignments: Following is list of suggested laboratory assignments for reference. Laboratory
Instructors may design suitable set of assignments for respective course at their level. Beyond
curriculum assignments and mini-project may be included as a part of laboratory work. The
instructor may set multiple sets of assignments and distribute among batches of students. It is
appreciated if the assignments are based on real world problems/applications. The Inclusion of
few optional assignments that are intricate and/or beyond the scope of curriculum will surely be
the value addition for the students and it will satisfy the intellectuals within the group of the
learners and will add to the perspective of the learners. For each laboratory assignment, it is
essential for students to draw/write/generate flowchart, algorithm, test cases, mathematical model,
Test data set and comparative/complexity analysis (as applicable). Batch size for practical and
tutorial may be as per guidelines of authority.
 Term Work–Term work is continuous assessment that evaluates a student's progress throughout
the semester. Term work assessment criteria specify the standards that must be met and the
evidence that will be gathered to demonstrate the achievement of course outcomes. Categorical
assessment criteria for the term work should establish unambiguous standards of achievement
for each course outcome. They should describe what the learner is expected to perform in the
laboratories or on the fields to show that the course outcomes have been achieved. It is
recommended to conduct internal monthly practical examination as part of continuous
assessment.
 Assessment: Students’ work will be evaluated typically based on the criteria like attentiveness,
proficiency in execution of the task, regularity, punctuality, use of referencing, accuracy of
language, use of supporting evidence in drawing conclusions, quality of critical thinking and
similar performance measuring criteria.
 Laboratory Journal- Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be
submitted as softcopy. Use of DVD or similar media containing students programs maintained by
Laboratory In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or two journals may be maintained
with program prints in the Laboratory. As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green
IT and environment awareness, attaching printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing
to journal may be avoided. Submission of journal/ term work in the form of softcopy is desirable
and appreciated.
Suggested List of Assignments
Sr. No Name of assignment
1 Access an open source dataset “Titanic”.
Apply pre-processing techniques on the raw dataset.
2 Build training and testing dataset of assignment 1 to predict the probability of a survival of a
person based on gender, age and passenger-class.
3 Download Abalone dataset. (URL: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Abalone)
Data set has total 8 Number of Attributes.
Sex nominal M, F, and I (infant)
Length continuous mm Longest shell measurement
Diameter continuous mm perpendicular to length
 Height continuous mm with meat in shell
Whole weight continuous grams whole abalone
Shucked weight continuous grams weight of meat
Viscera weight continuous grams gut weight (after bleeding)
Shell weight continuous grams after being dried
Rings (age/class of abalone)
Load the data from data file and split it into training and test datasets. Summarize
the properties in the training dataset. The number of rings is the value to predict:
either as a continuous value or as a classification problem.
Predict the age of abalone from physical measurements using linear regression or
predict ring class as classification problem
4 Use Netflix Movies and TV Shows dataset from Kaggle and perform following
operation :
1. Make a visualization showing the total number of movies watched by
children
2. Make a visualization showing the total number of standup comedies
3. Make a visualization showing most watched shows.
4. Make a visualization showing highest rated show
Make a dashboard (DASHBOARD A) containing all of these above visualizations.
