Analysis of feedback given by the Students, Alumni, Parents and Faculties

Annexure 2.1

Analysis of Students’ Feedback of Teachers

Every year we gather feedback from students by asking them to complete an anonymous on-line

survey of teachers conducting various courses. Our form contains 10 questions – and we need

quantitative response with ‘1’ being poor to ‘5’being excellent. The feedback received is then

analyzed and a copy of the feedback is given to each faculty member.

The analysis of the students feedback on teachers for the academic year 2016-17 reveals

satisfactory results. Students are satisfied with the quality of teaching as the majority score for all

faculty ranges between 4-5 that is within the “very good & excellent” category. Few teachers

whose score fell betwen2-3 were guided by the Principal without disturbing his/her self esteems to

improve the quality of teaching.

Annexure 3.1

Best Practice in the College through Field Visits

1. Title of the Practice

Field Visit

2. Goal

The Aim of the field visit has been to bridge the gap between theory and practices

observed in real life. To improve the understanding gap between text (as imparted in class

room and books) and context (as observed by students during the field visit).

3. The Context

It was realized that our students restricted themselves to theory as encapsulated in the

text books. Therefore we explored a mechanism to expose them to the ground level

realities in their respective sphere of study. Field visit was considered as a convenient

tool to provide our students the opportunity to improve their understanding of the ground

level realities.

4. The Practice

The department of English took the students of Mass Communication of SYBA to the

Khandala Literary festival on 12th

June 2016. The students were exposed to the art of

fantasy fiction writing, counter telling of mythology. They were exposed to a new genre

in Indian writing which were subaltern, thought-provoking but logically viewing well

known stories through a new prism. Mention may be made of Anand Neelakantan –

Asura the tale of the languished. The session by Mahroof Raza “Idea of modern India”

was thought provoking. Our students were also exposed to several debates on TV,

cinema. “Does the mainstream need an alternative?” - Distinguished bi-lingual writer

Shanta Gokhale, Amol Palekar, Marathi and Hindi Actor shared their views.

Department of sociology also provided opportunities to our students to learn hands on,

apply theoretical knowledge to urban problems, through field visits. It helped students to

integrate theory and ground level reality, understand social problems like substance

abuse, problems of socio- economic disadvantaged, discrimination and learn to accept


values of diversity. It also sensitized them to relevant societal issues, it helped students to

demonstrate ability to integrate theoretical framework with reality. It improved

fundamental problem solving skills especially relating to violence, oppression, social

injustice and plight of old and infirm.

Mention may be made of “beyond the binaries” at integral space. It exposed students to

issues of violence against women, life of sexual minorities like transgender. It helped

students clear their misunderstanding relating vulnerabilities of violence. It stressed the

need to be vocal and raise voices against injustice. The need to respect diversity was also

instlilled in the students.

Visit to Asha Dhan was held on 18th

October 2016 with 52 students interacting with

geriatric destitute and spastic children. It sensitized our students to the problems plaguing

our society.

Department of Zoology took the students to understand the fish species, mollusks,

crustaceans. They were shown various instruments used in fish processing. To ensure

better life to marine inter-tidal organisms, the department undertook beach cleaning

activity.

Department of chemistry with Botany and Zoology had a special session for the final

year science students on career in health care industry by visiting PD Hinduja National

Hospital and Research Centre on 18th

February 2017. They visited various departments

like radiology, dialysis and endoscopy to gain first-hand experience of their working.

They also interacted with some of the alumni pursuing their career in health care

industry.

Department of Economics and Business Economics took the second year and Final year

students to the currency museum in RBI. To expose them to the history of currency and

also to gain an understanding regarding legal tender and other currency issued under the

signature of the Governor of RBI.

5. Evidence of Success

Field visits have gone a long way in developing a keen interest in the subject. The

interaction in the class has shown perceptible improvement and they are in a better

position to relate to the subject. Overall academic performance has also shown an

improvement.


6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Students require a lot of coaxing as parents are reluctant to send their children. Cost of

the field visit is a deterrent in wider participation. The syllabus and time required to

complete it does not permit too many field visits


Annexure 3.2 – Best Practices in College through Mentoring

Title –Mentoring

Goal –Mentoring is to support and encourage students to manage their own learning in order that

they may maximize their potential and improve their performance.

Context - In recognition of Dr Rizvi’s vision of “Education for All” the portals of our Institution

are open to all strata of society. This entails that we get academically weak students, students

from poor economic background and those who have studied in the vernacular medium and who

find education in English an uphill task. Over the years we have realized that this has led to

absenteeism in the class and poor results. Further, most of the students are shy and are scared to

approach their teachers for help and guidance.

To improve the results as well as to boost the morale of the students, our College introduced the

“Class Mentor System”

Practice – At the beginning of each academic year, the class mentors committee is formed. Each

class gets a mentor who is also the class teacher of this class. It is the duty of this mentor to guide

and encourage the students to rise above the difficulties they face and improve their

performance. The mentor meets students regularly for discussion to understand the specific

needs of any particular student. The university mandates a minimum of 75% attendance for

every student to be able to appear for any exam. The mentor monitors the attendance of his class

and puts up a “black list” every month of students who default. The mentor then calls up the

parents who are asked to visit the college to meet him.

Finally, if any student has any problem which needs professional guidance, he/she is sent to the

professional counselor available in our college. The College has a Professional counselor who

visits the campus twice a week for counseling students. We also have a faculty member who is a

trained in-house counselor and is available to the students on campus during college hours. Many

students have benefitted from their visit to the counselor.

Evidence of success – Mentors maintain a register where they maintain details of their

discussion with the students. On request from the students, the college has introduced Remedial

Lectures for the academically weak.

Problems encountered –

1. Lack of space / time ( Resource required)

2. Students are shy, especially girls

3. Absenteeism.

4. Lack of communication between parents and students.


5. Need to have a professional counselor on regular basis (Resource required)

Yet the Mentor system has been quite successful because mentoring is a strategy of intervention

that has the capacity to serve both as promotion and prevention
