33.Teaching methods adopted to improve student learning
*
Descriptive concepts are done in PPTs and OHPs ( Like Introduction
of the
chapter)
*
Mathematical steps and logical steps are done on Black board
Giving real world examples
Simplifying a big theorem into small key steps
5
Revision of big theorems two or more times,
Always revising the previous class sessions
Interaction with the students by asking concerned questions to know
their potential Level and hence simplifying the complex concepts to
their levels
UG students are taught through charts and models ( analytical
geometry)
Giving individual projects
Giving Group Projects
Single project for the whole class
conducting quizzes, debates
Conducting Brainstorming sessions
26.Participation in institutional Social Responsibility (ISR) and Extension
activities
1. Visiting NSS Camps regularly and promoting the NSS Activities.
2. Participation as volunteers in Red Cross Programs.
3. Donating Charts and models of mathematical concepts to government
schools.
4. Conducting counseling classes for mathematics under the IGNOU
Program.
5. Visits along with students to Old Age homes
6. Organised General Health Check up for all the Degree students
7. Organised General Health Check up for all the Degree students
8. Participated in the celebration of 150th birthday of Swamy Vivekananda
and 500th
anniversary of Sri Krishna Devaraya

27.SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strength:
Sincere, Hardworking team of faculty members , good co-ordination
among them
The teachers voluntarily fill in the absence of the other teachers
Around 100 UG students
the faculty members are engaged in Research
The staff always trying to give best and work beyond their threshold
limits
Weakness
Inspite of the efforts put in by the faculty, the results are not 100%,
because many of the students are slow learners and the Student Teacher
ratio is vast.
Opportunities
Mathematics has wide range of applications, students can be motivated to
apply their knowledge
Mathematics with computer science knowledge help the students to get
job in soft skill zone of industry, hence increases employability
Challenges:
The scope of self study in mathematics is very limited due to its complex
nature.
Motivating the students to Higher studies and Research
7
Future Plans:
Adopting
Government/Corporation Schools
to simplify and teach
complex mathematics in simple forms
To establish a Mathematical Support Center, to prepare the students for
all competitive/UPSC/KPSC/SSC /Banking exams and other states
competitive exams
