                                SSLA aims at offering a inter-multi-trans-disciplinary and holistic educational
                                programme that assesses and evaluates students on the ability to think critically and
                                develop innovative solutions to problems rather than just focusing on facts and figures
                                or theoretical concepts.

                                The programme structure at SSLA follows a semester pattern with Continuous Assessments
                                (CAs) and a Semester End Evaluation/Term End Evaluation (SEE/TE). Both components are
                                designed and conducted by the faculty to suit the needs and learning outcomes of the
                                course.

                                The minimum number of assessments/evaluations is determined as n+1, where n refers to
                                the total number of credits for a course.
                                Faculty responsible for the courses devise their own assessment types, which may vary
                                from course to course and may include thought papers and assignments, projects and field
                                study, individual and group presentations, case studies, practicals among many others.
                                While creativity is encouraged, students also engage with conventional patterns of
                                assessment that ensure familiarity with a disciplinary language integral for deep
                                learning.

                                SSLA primarily employs a Relative Grading system for the assessments based on the
                                comparative performance of students within a particular cohort. Absolute Grading is
                                applied only in cases where the number of students enrolled in a course is fifteen (15)
                                or fewer. Absolute Grading is also applied to Internships, Research Project and Final
                                Year Seminar Paper.
