Teaching-Learning Process:
These are sample strategies, which teacher can use to accelerate the attainment of the various course outcomes and make Teaching-Learning more effective:
- Tutorial & remedial classes for needy students (not regular T/R)
- Conducting Makeup classes/Bridge courses for needy students
- Demonstration of concepts either by building models or by industry visit
- Experiments in laboratories shall be executed in blended mode (conventional or non-conventional methods)
- Use of ICT – Online videos, online courses
- Use of online platforms for assignments/Notes/Quizzes (Ex. Google classroom)
