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)

Module 1:
