New Teaching&Learning paradigm


 Students review materials before each class.
 On the night of the class, the instructor says a few opening words,
introducing the topics for the night.
 A group is randomly called and members of the group explain what
s/he has learnt.
 A student who presents is awarded marks.
 A student who doesn’t earns no marks.
 And if s/he does it often, s/he earns zero marks.
 The group will field questions or comments from the instructors and
class-mates.
 The instructor comments on answers and corrects mis-conceptions.
 This mode of teaching compels students to learn consistently and so
prepare for the final exam!
 Class participation counts for a maximum of 10 marks.
