Resources for Tutors
An effective work culture can be established by the unit tutors only. They play a pivotal role in setting a high quality bar for work. Tutors are expected to play the role of coaches, actively guiding students in their learning quest by demonstrating how problems may be solved rather than only providing verbal critique.Proposal Submissions
New tutors as well as tutors previously involved with the university are expected to submit a proposal, identifying the learning outcomes for the studio and an outline of the exercise to be offered to enable sequential learning. Proposals are accepted throughout the year. Please find a basic template for the proposal presentation here. You can submit your proposal presentations on tlc@cept.ac.in
Approval of Proposal
A studio preparation workshop is organized where each unit makes a presentation. Further consultations are held with the Course Development Committee, which is responsible to approve proposals. The process might take at least a fortnight. On approval of the Proposal, a Letter of Appointment will be issued by the Dean of individual faculties.
Starting a Unit
To help the tutors plan their studio, refer to the Structure of Studio, which contains guidelines for studio attendance, grading, semester end requirements. Tutors may find the Proposal Presentation Template and a sample studio proposal form for reference in the side bar for download purpose.

Running a Studio
Starting the course:
On the first day of studio, you will be assigned a studio space and get a kit from the respective program heads. The kit comprises of ‘Handbook of Rules for Students’, an attendance sheet, and ‘Faculty Handbook for Level 2 Studio’. You will also receive an appointment letter from the respective Faculty, stating your terms of engagement. All LVL2 tutors would get a CEPT e-mail ID and a smart card which will give them access to the library and campus facilities for one year.
While the course is on:
During the course, three to four monthly meetings will be arranged for all Level 2 tutors and program heads to address various academic and logistical subjects.
Continuous grading
Continuous Grading and monitoring of students work is important. During the course of the semester, the tutors are expected to issue at least three letters informing them about their progress in the studio.
Student Letter Templates (login only)
- Letter of Warning (template.pdf)
Letters of Warning are to be issued in case of a student not meeting with academic requirements or any kind of social misconduct on the campus.

Semester end exhibition guidelines (contact person X )
Semester-end exhibitions are an opportunity to share and learn from across the disciplines. Unit tutors should ensure that their studio is presented properly in the allotted space. A booklet shall be prepared containing representative exercises done in the studio. This booklet would become a sample of studio work for potential students in the following semester.
Assessment Guidelines
While it is difficult to identify general criteria for the assessment for different studios; a broad framework has been identified. Each tutor is free to interpret and adapt these general guidelines, according to individual studio learning outcomes.
Portfolio Assessment
The portfolio can be evaluated on the basis of the three broad competencies:
- 30% for conceptual clarity
- 30% for resolution of systems
- 30% for representation
- 10% for recording journey of the semester.
You may find a detailed document on Portfolio Grading here.
