INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
While imparting instructions in this subject, the teachers should organize site visits to the
old monuments and buildings with extra-ordinary architectural features. Experts/Guides
from state and national Archaeology departments may be invited to deliver lectures on the
relevant themes in order to generate interest in the students. Audio-visual material
available on the subject, in the country and abroad, may be procured and presented to the
students from time to time to enrich the quality of classroom institutions. Special
architectural features of some old/historical famous Indian and International buildings
may be presented to the students as case studies. Students may be encouraged to prepare
case studies of at least one famous old/historical building. Web sites, relevant to the
history of architecture may be visited by the teachers and students.
