Q. Question Unit Level/CO

No
1 Select two research papers, one with a highly technical audience and 1 L4/CO 1
one with a more general audience.
2 Review the paper’s abstract and identify the keywords used. [Do this for 1 L5/CO 1
Question1 based papers]
3 Choose an emerging topic in AI/ML/DL/Block chain/etc. Conduct a 1 L4/CO 1
literature survey by reviewing at least 5 recent papers from peer-
reviewed journals or conferences (e.g., IEEE, ACM).
4 Create a detailed analysis and synthesis of each paper’s writing style, 1 L3-4/CO 1
identifying key elements like tone, use of jargon, sentence structure,
and how the message is conveyed to the intended audience.
5 Find articles/papers in Google Scholar in the area of “Blockchain and 1 L3-4/CO 1
AI” (topic can be changed). Year wise 2020 till 2024. Show the
pictorial representation of the number of articles in the domain w.r.t
years.
6 You are preparing a research paper on “Blockchain in AI for Secure 2 L6/CO 2
Healthcare Systems”/Choose any as per requirement. Based on your
understanding of the topic, you need to craft a clear and concise title,
write a short abstract summarizing the content of the paper, and select
keywords that would make your paper discoverable in academic
databases. Explain why these keywords were selected and how they
will increase the visibility of the paper to your target audience.
7 Write the Introduction section (around 400-500 words) by including: 2 L2/CO 2
Background information on //selected topic.
Motivation for //selected topic and integrating //selected topic with
another applications.
“Main contributions” your research aims to make in this domain.
8 Prepare a list of at least 10 references from various sources (journals, 2 L3-4/CO 2
books, conference papers, etc.) that you have cited in your research
paper. Format the citations and references according to the
APA/MLA/Chicago/etc style guidelines. Include appropriate in-text
citations as well.
9 Include citations for different types of sources, such as: 2 L2/CO 2
Journal Articles
Conference Papers

Q. Question Unit Level/CO
No
1 Identify the type of research you are conducting from the chosen set of 3 L4/CO 3
research papers (e.g., fundamental research, pure research, or
quantitative research) and justify your choice.
2 Select/ identify an appropriate data collection method (e.g., surveys, 3 L3/CO 3
experiments, or secondary data) for the chosen set of research papers
and explain why it is suitable for use.
3 Consider the following data set representing the number of successful 3 L3/CO 3
transactions (in thousands) by a group of 10 e-commerce businesses in
a month:
Data: 25, 30, 27, 29, 24, 26, 35, 28, 32, 31
Calculate the mean, median, and mode for the given data set.
4 The following data represents the number of hours worked by a group 3 L3/CO 3
of 8 software engineers in a week:
Data: 40, 42, 38, 45, 50, 39, 44, 41
Calculate the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given
dataset.
5 Consider a scenario where a data center has 5 servers, and each server 3 L3/CO 3
has a 0.8 probability of being operational at any given time. What is
the probability that exactly 3 servers are operational out of the 5
servers? Use the Binomial distribution formula.
6 Scenario-based Learning: Prepare and deliver a presentation for a 4 L6/CO 4
research conference (using the "What, Why, Who" framework).
7 Install Mendeley on your computer and set up an account. Import at 4 L3/CO 4
least 10 research papers related to your project topic into Mendeley
using automatic and manual import methods. Organize the papers into
folders by topic (e.g., AI/ML/DL/Distributed Systems, Optimization).
Annotate two of the papers with highlights and notes within Mendeley.
Generate a bibliography of all references in APA format.
8 Create a LaTeX document (e.g., using Overleaf or any LaTeX editor) 4 L3/CO 4
for Title, Abstract, main text sections. Ensure proper paragraph
formatting, text alignment and usage of bold/italic where necessary.
9 Prepare a scientific presentation with a maximum of 10-12 slides on 4 L6/CO 4
the topic of your choice (e.g., Big Data Analytics, Business
Intelligence, Cloud Computing, etc).
