1. The lecture method need not be only a traditional lecture method, but
alternative effective teaching methods could be adopted to attain the
outcomes. You may use
2. Video/Animation to explain various concepts.
3. Collaborative, Peer, Flipped Learning, etc.
Pedagogy:
4. Adopt Problem Based Learning (PBL), which fosters students’ Analytical
skills, and develops design thinking skills such as the ability to design,
evaluate, generalize, and analyze information rather than simply recall it.
5. Test their understanding through quizzes, presentations, case studies, mini-
projects.
