45. List the teaching methods adopted by the faculty for different
programmes.
For first three years of MA 5 year Integrated (BA) the methodology adopted
by the teachers is extremely communicative. Lectures are conducted with help
of audio-visual aids in the Multi Media Lab. Courses are also designed in
order to facilitate this approach. Many activities outside the classroom are
done to help students learn the subject in a context.
At MA 2 year level, theory is taught in the classroom and students are
expected to carry out an empirical study individually. They are also
encouraged to carry out minor research works for each course in order to
develop an analytical ability. Student seminars are conducted occasionally to
monitor the research work done.
46. How does the department ensure that program objectives are
constantly met and learning Outcomes are monitored ?
Meetings of students and faculty are regularly held. Observations from these
meetings are discussed in the department council meetings. Later they are sent
to the department’s advisory committee for final approval. The aim is to
minimise the gap between the students and the teachers for which each teacher
takes feedback from the students at a regular interval to monitor the learning
outcomes. Suggestions are immediately incorporated to ensure that the
programme objectives are constantly met.
47. Highlight the participation of students and faculty in extension
activities.
Annual festival (Día del Libro) is organised in every academic year in which
students take part in academic and cultural activities. Educational tours are
organised from time to time to expose the students to the different sociocultural
realities. Students are encouraged to participate in
seminars/workshops organized at various institutions in Dehradun like
participation in seminar conducted at MKP PG Girls College, Dehradun in
March, 2015 on Global Perspective of Spanish Language and Literature.
Visits to nearby villages are also being conducted.
