Innovative Teaching Methods
Student centric teaching methods such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem solving methodologies are used to enhance learning experiences. The biggest challenge for any teacher is capturing each student’s attention, and conveying ideas effectively enough to create a long lasting impression. To tackle this challenge effectively, the teacher implements innovative ideas that make the learning experience much more interesting for the students. Course-in-charges strive diligently to bring innovations while imparting knowledge.
Course-in-charges along with the regular lecture method use graphs and diagrams to explain the complex concepts. They use both inductive and deductive methods, experimental methods to develop scientific approaches among the students. Problem solving sessions including the heuristic method and participative methods are used to engage students individually or in groups. The Teaching-Learning activities are made effective through illustrations and special lectures.
Students are engaged in different activities which help them to acquire first-hand knowledge of the subjects and current practices. They are motivated to enhance their knowledge through educational portals, biweekly seminars, conferences etc.
