Pedagogy
The methodology for the course will be a blend of both teaching and self-learning, wherein the role of
the former will be to facilitate the transfer of learning through class room lectures and various
assignments and the role of the latter would be to focus more on the learning involved in the
assignments and other activities which will be undertaken as a part of the course. Some of the
pedagogical tools that will be used as a part of the course are lectures, discussions, exercises, role plays,
presentation, field work, etc.
