Message from the Coordinator

On behalf of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, I would like to thank you

for your interest in our programmes of study.

The guide book gives you information on admission requirements for the

Diploma in Laboratory Technology Programme (DLT) conducted by our

Faculty along with information on the curriculum, study methods, tuition

fees and dates of registration. This guide book tells you about the support

and facilities the University can offer to enable you to study

independently. Hence our advice to you is to read the guide book before

you apply for the programme.

A high efficiency in a laboratory will require knowledgeable workers

who are capable of maintaining quality work in the laboratory while

ensuring the safety. The laboratory you are working can be a research

laboratory, a quality control laboratory, a lab in a university or a school

laboratory. The responsibilities and the work expected from you may be

slightly different from one another, may be specific, but the common

tasks will be more or less the same. This Diploma programmeis designed

to develop knowledge and skills which are very much required to work

efficiently in any laboratory such as research, teaching, biology,

chemistry, physics, engineering and other related areas.

I wish you all success and hope you will achieve your career goals

through distance education at the OUSL.

Ms. M.D.J.S. Saparamadu

Senior lecturer/ Dept. of Chemistry

Faculty of Natural Sciences.

Student learning is facilitated through carefully prepared printed course

material, suitable for self-learning. Printed course material is

supplemented with audio visual and online learning material. There will

be two semesters in an academic year and the courses are divided into

the two semesters. A calendar (activity schedule) for each semester will

be given to you at the beginning of each semester so that you can plan

your studies. Your progress in courses is evaluated at different time

intervals using a variety of assessment methods such as assignment tests

and final examinations.

Support for Learning

At the OUSL, students are supported in many ways as described below.

Evaluation

Your progress in courses are evaluated at different time intervals using a

variety of assessment methods such as assignment tests and final

examinations.

Continuous Assessment tests and Final Examination

Continuous assessment tests are designed to motivate you to study with a

plan which lead to better performance. Continuous assessment tests

(NBT/OBT) will be held for each course. An Overall Continuous

Assessment Mark (OCAM) will be calculated from continuous

assessment tests (NBT/OBT), home assignments, practical reports and

practical tests.

There will be two final examinations for the courses having laboratory

classes – Practical and Theory, which will be computed to give a Final

examination mark (FEM).

18

If a student obtains a minimum OCAM and a final examination mark (as

decided by the Faculty which offers the course), then both OCAM and

final examination mark will be considered in calculating the Overall

Mark.

Therefore, it is advisable to sit for the continuous assessment tests and

obtain the acceptable OCAM. The OCAM mark will be valid only for

two years including the year in which the OCAM was obtained.

Postponing Sitting The Final Examination

Students if they wish, can postpone sitting the final examination for

another year from the year of obtaining the OCAM. However, such

postponement is strongly discouraged.

Overall Mark and Grade

The overall mark will be calculated from the final examination mark and

OCAM. The Overall Grade for each course will be determined by the

Overall Mark.

students who have to register for the courses which have not been taken

at the registration.

Repeat Students

Students who are unable to obtain OCAM/pass grades of the final

examination for any particular course, will have to re-register for that

course in the academic year 2019/20 and will then be considered as

repeat students for that course. Such repeat students are required to pay

the normal tuition fee again and the highest grade such a student can

obtain for the final examination is C. Please note that students who drop

courses after the drop date will also be considered as repeat students.

Re-sit Candidates

Students who have OCAM but fail at the final examination will be

considered as re-sit candidates. They need not register and obtain

OCAM for the particular course again in the next academic year but have

to take studentship only in the academic year 2018/19. They will be

allowed to sit for the final examination again for one subsequent year,

that is, only in the next academic year (2018/19) and the highest grade

such a student can obtain for the final examination is C. Re-sit

24

candidates are not required to pay any course fee but only the re-sit

examination fee.
