Best Practices in CSE Department

 

Physical Models:

Faculty members of computer science and engineering use components like RAM, Hard Disk Drive, Network cables, mother boards, and other components of a computer system in the classroom as physical models. Use of these models helps the teachers to create a clear cut understanding among the students about the working of various components of a computer system.

Demonstration of Projects:

While teaching subjects like web technologies, java programming and mobile application development the projects developed by the senior students guided by the faculty members are demonstrated in the classroom. The objective of demonstrating these projects is to provide a live experience to the students how an application works. This method also acts as a motivation to the students to take up challenging tasks as projects. Demonstrating the syntax and runtime errors that might occur while executing the project will help students to get a comprehensive idea of developing a project.

Increase Confidence: This type of learning activity enhances the levels of self-confidence among students because they realize that the classroom teacher perceives them as experts and trusts them enough to share their expertise with a peer. Develop Communication Skills: Students must use good communication skills to be able to provide clear directions, listen to feedback, and then adjust the next set of instructions accordingly so that their peer is successful.

Assess Learning: The teacher will be able to assess students’ understanding of the material based on their ability to share their knowledge and skills with a fellow peer, that could not be accomplished using a paper and pencil test.

Mentoring: A mentor guides a group of twenty The objective of mentoring is to improve the academic performance of the students. The mentors interact with students and identify if they have any learning barriers.
