3 Teaching-Learning Process

2.3.1 How does the college plan and organize the teaching, learning
and
evaluation schedules? (Academic calendar, teaching plan,
evaluation
blue
print, etc.)

All the academic activities such as commencement of the classes for the
students of various semesters, based on the completion of the previous
semester University examinations, duration of unit tests and class
committee meetings etc., are preplanned meticulously for the academic
year and a hard copy of the calendar is given to all the students and
faculty,on the first day of the academic year. The class time table is also
prepared well before the commencement of classes and so a detailed
lesson plan is prepared by each faculty with calendar dates mentioned
therein and informed to the students.
Lesson plan, notes on lesson and lab manuals are posted in the website.
The class room learning and laboratory practice continue as per the plan
and tests are conducted as per the announced schedule. After each test,
the students performance is analysed using a software developed for this
purpose and an assessment is made for each subject. Then a class
committee meeting is held for each class including student
representatives. The performance is discussed, students requirements are
heard and steps are initiated to overcome the inadequacies if any in the
teaching-learning process. Suitable special classes are planned for the
students with inadequate performance.
The mark sheet for every test is dispatched to the parents so that they can
come with their feedback, for the subsequent Parent-Teachers meeting.
The proposed dates for the College Day, Graduation Day, Sports Day,
Cultural Day (Tech-o-Fest) and holidays are also printed in the academic
calendar so that concerned committees can plan their activities
accordingly well in advance.
The calendar also carries important information about the institution like
its Vision, Mission, Emblem, College Governing Council members, details
regarding library, hostels and transport facilities. Rules and Regulations to
be observed in the college and hostel are also listed in the calendar.
Webinar series of lectures (online portal classes for certain subjects
wherein the classroom lectures need to be supplemented with additional
examples, explanation and numerical examples) are conducted during
weekends.
From this academic year onwards e-learning system such as MOODLE is
introduced to make the teaching- learning process more interactive with
provision for taking on-line tests also.

2.3.2 How does IQAC contribute to improve the teaching learning

process?

The cell helps in framing an action plan for the academic year by
interacting with management, faculty, administration, laboratory staff,
students, parents and society.
The cell interacts with the class teachers in the timely conduct of class
committee meetings and also in the implementation of the follow up steps
envisaged to improve the teaching-learning process.
The cell gets an overall feedback from the departments on the
performance of the students in the unit tests and retests and coordinates
the arrangement of special classes outside the working hours wherever
necessary.
The cell coordinator takes part in the discussion on the analysis of
university semester examinations for all the classes and the remedial
measures being taken to improve the results in subjects wherever there is
a decline.
The cell helps the HoDs in organizing FDPs for the faculty to help them
learn the current trends in their specializations and facilitate them to
handle the concerned subjects with better preparation and confidence.
The cell also initiates workshops for the technical supporting staff who are
involved in assisting the laboratory sessions with a view to enhance their
practical skills with which they can help the fabrication part of students
project models.
Based on the feedback, a report is generated to bring the transparency /
objectivity /accountability in the teaching learning process.
