Additional Academic Requirements

In addition to the academic course work, students participate in a community outreach project. This outreach project aims at initiating student contributions towards social justice. COP aims to nurture students into sensitive, ethical, and critically conscious citizens who will contribute responsibly to communities and society.

The Community Outreach Project is a mandatory component of the curriculum at SSLA. It carries 6 credits, and is designed to be a 2 month full-time project, to be completed over the first summer break. The minimum total number of hours required for the COP is 200 hours, on completion of which, the student is required to get a validation letter from the organisation. This letter will be a part of the student’s report, which is due at the beginning of Semester 5.

The student is required to write a 10,000 word report and prepare a 20 minute presentation, as well as respond to a 10 minute viva before a panel of two examiners. The student will have to set up dates with the panel of examiners allotted to him/her.

It is mandatory that the student registers himself/herself with the Community Outreach Cell, before the commencement of the project. The COP batch representative will send out an online form for the same.

Students will also be sent the following information via email:

  • Reporting format and structure for the Community Outreach Project

Seminar Paper Rules and Policies
  • The rationale behind the final year seminar is to encourage and equip students to deliberate on themes in an academic fashion, and write a paper that satisfies standard academic conventions (substantive and formal). This exercise will enable students to familiarise themselves with the process identifying journals that are relevant to their work, submitting papers to journals, editing them after review, etc.
  • The list of themes will be made available to the students on 2 June 2016. They will have a month to approach/communicate with any of the teachers on the list, and choose a moderator.
  • Starting from August 1, faculty members are expected to conduct fortnightly or monthly sessions with their seminar students, wherein discussion on the theme and specific ideas that individual students would like to pursue, will be carried out.
  • These sessions are intended to be oriented towards discussion, instead of teaching. The expectation from the moderator is primarily supervisory, not pedagogic. The standard convention on seminar papers is for students to present written drafts (in each session), and for the moderator as well as the other members of the group to make comments, criticisms etc. of the idea presented. The moderator is also expected to offer new readings, if any, which may be helpful in pursuing the theme further. The abstract of the paper to be written is due by 1st October 2016.
  • By 7th November 2016 students will submit the first draft of their paper to their moderator. The paper must be reflective of three months of seminar work that preceded it. Comments and feedback will be made available by 15th December 2016.
  • Over the next month, the draft will undergo revision and editing, at the end of which, the student will send it to any academic publication for acceptance. The second draft is due on 15th January 2017. The final paper is due on 15th of February 2017, and proof of delivery is due on the 25th of April 2017.
  • The rationale behind the stipulation of publication is to encourage students to familiarise themselves with formal systems of publishing their work. This end can be achieved through two means:
    • Students are graded also on whether the work is of publishable quality.
    • Students send their papers to various agencies of publication and submit proof that their papers have at least been submitted.
  • Each step of the process is graded. The format for grading is as follows:
    • Attendance & Participation - 20 points
    • Abstract - 5 points
    • Draft 1 - 10 points
    • Draft 2 - 15 points
    • Final paper - 25 points
    • Proof of publication - 25 points
    • TOTAL: 100 points
  • The grading scheme for the publication stipulation is as follows:
    • Proof of Paper/Article Submitted: 15
    • Paper/Article Submitted and under review: 20
    • Paper/Article Accepted after review: 25
  • Refer to the Student Handbook for further details about deadlines and submissions.
