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, flora and fauna and the like

Objective of the Practice:

• To offer a wealth of opportunities to learn from others
• Tool design using biological world as a catalogue of successful design which can be interpreted

to solve human problems.
