44. Give details of student enrichment Programs (special lectures/ workshops/seminar)
involving external experts: Nil
45. List the teaching methods adopted by the faculty for different Programs.
Teaching: Students are involved more in teaching and learning during lecture time.
Mostly, blackboard and ICT in teaching for UG students are in practice. Some model
structure of a few common organic of small molecules at structure and mechanism
of chemical reactions is shown for better understanding.
Tutorials: At the end of lectures of every unit of courses, tutorials classes are taken
for better understanding of the topics.
Seminars: Seminars are conducted throughout the academic session for the students
of UG - V and VI Semesters. The Topic of seminars and the contents of the seminar
topic are discussed with the faculty advisor.
Practical: Chemistry Practical Course means a task in which a student can observe
or manipulate real objects or materials by analyzing the analytical data of the
corresponding materials. For better understanding, a few theory classes are taken to
give hands-on experience.
