The Actual Practice:

Students are introduced to the learning material before class, with classroom time. Students are

assigned the topics and they prepare a presentation and present it before the faculty. After getting
the approval from the faculty the same is presented during the lecture hours. This further leads to

brainstorming sessions.

Outcome:

• Leads to deeper understanding and greater retention of concepts than traditional
lecture information transfer in class.

• Classes added some variety and change of pace to classes and made the course more

interesting for both students and instructor.
• Helped in deepen learning and develop higher-level cognitive skill

• Helped in engaging students in use of technology, collaborative activity, peer learning

and problem-based learning.

Title of the Practice: Unique Assignments: Topics like social behavior of insects and animals,
