    • Various Evaluation methods of the Learning

    • Project based evaluation method

      • The students were asked to carryout project works based on the subject inputs they received on a particular topic in the interactive method of teaching. When submitted, it was found that the projects reflected not only their power of comprehension of the subject but also more relevant information than what the students had actually received. It was also observed that they had independently consulted various sources of information including internet.

    • ICT enabled evaluation Method

      • The students were provided awareness on the use of modern technology including internet for gathering information for academic and general purposes. Accordingly, the students have gained accessibility to the modern sources of information on the subjects of the study and on various competitive examinations. This has really enabled our students to apply for various positions in private and government sector, attend the interviews and get selected. They have used the sources for gaining information for presenting papers at seminars, workshops of academic nature besides inquisitiveness among the students to go for research.

    • Experimental evaluation Method
      •

      Whatever the students learn in the theory classes has to be presented in the practical classes conducted for the science students. The college conducts study tours and industrial tours as a part of experimental learning. It was evident in the practical sessions that the students had improved the subject knowledge besides acquiring the skills of ‘Learning by doing’ and application of the same in real situations.

    • Evaluation through Seminars and Group Discussions
      •

      The students were encouraged to present by way of seminars and group discussions what they had learnt in the regular theory classes. A few seminars of such nature were made more meaningful with the presence of external subject experts. It was noted during the deliberations that the students gained stage courage, expression and presentation skills apart from more subject knowledge.

    • Bilingual Method

      • The lessons are taught both in English and vernacular language. This has helped the students to understand the concept, definition, technical terms, scientific terms etc., easily without any ambiguity. The students were allowed to explain the subject matter in both the languages, seminars, group discussions and quizzes. It enabled them to enhance their confidence levels and learning capabilities.

    • Evaluation through audio-visual aids, Models, Specimens, Slides and Charts

      • Video programmes on television, arrangement to listen to audio programmes enhanced the understanding of profound concepts of the concerned subjects especially for slow learners. Students were asked to present their topics with the support of audio-visual aids, models, specimens, slides, charts etc. It enabled the students to understand even the difficult concepts and diagrams in Botany and Zoology, periodical tables in Chemistry, mechanical diagrams and circuits in Physics and Mathematical formulae. Such use of the aids has made the teaching learning process more effective with enhanced interest and concentration on learning.
