The
residential programs, we offer are an outcome of an
extensive survey of many students studying in
residential colleges.
Coaching
methodology for residential programs :
We
believe in structured learning (a stage by stage
focussed learning). As a first step our teachers
introduce all the relevant theory, concepts &
problems in every topic. Once the explanatory part
of a particular topic is over, teachers move on to
the next stage where in they give an objective sheet
covering all the aspects of the given topic in
various objective-type formats. These include
Questions that seek to test the 'understanding' of
the students, his ability to analyse & apply the
concepts he is taught or is expected to know in the
given topic. These questions are discussed in detail
by the teacher in the class. This is the stage where
a student will get to know the intricacies in
various kinds of objective questions. This will also
enable the students to enhance his/her understanding
of the subject.
In the
next stage an assignment is given in the same topic
with a number of objective questions. The student is
expected to workout all the problems & answer
all other questions which demand an in-depth
understanding and the reasoning ability of the
student. These assignments are designed to enable
the student for getting the required practice needed
to have a command over the topic. In this stage,
teacher's help is sought only as a last resort. We
believe the students need to go through this
exercise as it empowers them the kind of reasoning
they need to have to answer any kind of objective
question. In this stage, teacher will only act as a
facilitator.
In the
next stage, a student will be given tests. These
tests will help the teacher and the taught to
evaluate the performance. Performance of the
students in these tests will be meticulously
analysed by a team of competent teachers. After the
evaluation, teachers will explore all the
possibilities to ensure that the students realise
their inadequacies and shortcomings. Separate
teaching sessions will be held for those students
who have failed to understand or comprehend any part
of the given topic.
A
student has to go through all these stages in every
topic. Number of comprehensive tests (covering a
major part of the syllabus) are held at periodic
intervals and in the final stage a number of
mocktests (covering the entire syllabus &
structured in the pattern of the exam) will be
conducted. All possible remedial steps will be
taken, wherever & whenever necessary.
