Teaching Methodology
Mixed instructional methods shall be put in practice for comprehensive learning of students.
It includes pedagogy and andragogical techniques of mind stimulation of the learners. For
this purpose students shall be involved in Lectures demonstration, discussions, presentations,
group activitiesand Case Studies. Students shall be distributed into groups for mutual
discussions; learn how to share works, prepare team based solution to problems and develop
arguments for presentation cum thesis. Developing arguments shall be taken as core activities
of the course on multiple topics for conclusive literature reviews.
