SALIENT PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES: 1. To make the concepts clear various demos. and other supplement resource materials will be used in the lectures and detail of demos. and other supplement materials will be mentioned in the Instruction plan. 2. Three tests(Evaluative) will be conducted so as to recapitulate the contents. Two best will be considered. 3. Home work may also be given but it will be non evaluative. 4. Physical demonstrations will also be shown to the students in the classes so as to develop interest and better understanding of a topic. 5. Multiple experiments will run simultaneously in each turn so that each student should spend full time on the assigned set (experiment) 6. During each turn student has to appear for the viva-voce based on the experiment which he has performed. 7. To introduce the skill of handling the apparatus and instruments in labs each student has to perform experiment individually. 8. Student will also be made familiar with, and use of, safe working practices.
