Title: Effective Learning through Efficient Teaching Objectives

• To develop interactive class room teaching to bring out inherent academic knowledge of the students.

191

• To provide learning materials and assessment of learning. • To offer hands on experience.

The Context Quality teaching is important for producing the intellectual capital and to compete with other countries. It is important to create the classroom teaching in an interactive way by faculty members. Also, it is essential to provide the learning materials to the students at various possible locations everywhere in the campus. The Practices

• Providing good learning environment with neat & comfortable seating, Board & marker and uninterrupted power supply for electrical appliances like LCD, OHP, lighting and ventilation.

• Rest room and purified drinking water facilities are easily accessible.

• Academics, industrial experts and alumni are involved in framing curriculum and syllabus.

• Teaching with live cases and examples for easy understanding and creating opportunities to students to interact with their opinions.

• Learning materials are provided on the first day of every semester and accessibility to on and off-campus sources.

• Value added courses/frequent guest lectures/invited talks by the practitioners are arranged to give more exposure on real time challenges and industrial practices.

• Field/Industry visits and Internship training provides hands on experiences to the students which makes them to have rich understanding in their area of interest.

• Fully fledged laboratories are available in all disciplines to the students to experiment their own innovative ideas.

Evidence of success

• Students’ confidence levels on subjects are improved. • Curriculum and syllabus is at par with industry needs. • Students are aware of latest technology know how in the

respective field of interest. • Students’ communication and presentation skills are developed

and reflected in the various competitions and placements. • The academic and non-academic performances of slow learners

are improved. • Students are free off academic and non-academic issues hence

percentage of attendance is much improved and they are able to concentrate more on their career developmental activities.

• Number of participants in GATE examination is increased; few have cleared and gone for higher studies with stipend in reputed institutions.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

• Faculty members need orientation on interactive teaching methods. • Training all the faculty members in preparation of course

materials and make it online access. • To motivate the students to be creative. • Students training required in online access. • Financial commitment by the Management. • Facilities for preparation, uploading and sharing the course

34. How does the department ensure that programme objectives are

constantly met and learning outcomes monitored?

• Rubrics have been developed for measuring program objectives & program outcomes and are continuously reviewed by assessment methods like question paper, answer book, assignment, project seminar, lab records and feedbacks from employer, alumni, stake holders etc. Using different performance indicators, students are classified into (i) Exemplary (ii) Satisfactory and (iii) Developing.

• Students under the category (iii) are not in a position to meet the program objectives. For students coming under the category (ii), some extra coaching are conducted and for students under category (iii), intensive coaching beyond the college hours are given. Visible improvements in the performance of the students have been observed.


• For the recent years the program objectives are assessed through Course Outcome (CO) assessment. Each subject will have 5 to 6 Course Outcomes.

The assessment tools can be divided into two categories

• Direct Assessment • Indirect Assessment

The tools such as tests, assignments, examinations etc., are taken on the questions that relate to specific course outcomes in each course. Presentations and seminars are aimed towards wider scope of the subject including its impact on society and environment as a whole.

• Direct Assessment Tools

The undergraduate program of the department is credit based with continuous evaluation system. Evaluation is conducted by the subject teacher throughout the semester. Each subject contains three main components for evaluation:


Course Work

• Theory Courses: In this component, home assignments, tutorials, problem solving, group discussions, quiz, etc are given and evaluated regularly.

• Mid Semester Examination: Mid semester examination is conducted within 7-8 weeks after the start of teaching of each semester. The syllabus of the exam conducted covers around 30-50 % of the total course content.

• End semester Examination: End semester examination is conducted at the end of semester. Complete syllabus is covered in this examination. Major Weightage of marks is given to this component.

• Practical Courses: In these courses, continues evaluation is done through viva-voce, presentation, report submission and laboratory quiz.

Indirect Assessment Tools Course End Survey: After the end of every semester, feedback is taken for individual subject with reference to their course outcomes. (This feedback is not taken as course outcomes are prepared first time) Graduate Exit Feedback: In the last semester i.e. 8th semester, feedback is taken by the student of last year. Achievement of POs and graduate attributes (GA) are taken as criteria in the feedback. Alumni Feedback: Alumni, particularly who has graduated within the 3-4 years of current academic year, feedback is taken with reference to the achievement of POs. Industrial Feedback: Students who has undergone vocational/summer training and internship in the industries as well as who got the jobs in the industries. Feedback is taken from the industries for the performance of students. (This feedback is not yet taken). A verbal feedback is taken from industry persons when our faculty meets them at any conference or when they come to our institute for giving lectures or training. Internationally/ Nationally Normed Examination: In this component, various examinations (national and international level) like GATE, NET, CAT, GRE, IELTS and TOEFL are taken in to consideration for student’s performance and evaluation.
