- M.Sc Data Structures (~60 hrs)
- M.S Data Structures (~40 hrs)
- BSc (CMS and CME) DBMS (~50 hrs)
- MCA/M.Sc Placement (~25 hrs)
- BCA : Pl/SQL (12 hrs)
- Class Teacher for M.Sc 1st Sem and MS 1st Sem
Students of B.Sc were a different bunch to the students I had taught in PG Courses and taking their class was definitely fun. I found the class very enthusiastic and it gave me new energy each time I walked into the class.
My Learnings:
- Not to go unprepared for a class as a time gets under utilized and students do not understand, it is not that I have to learn the topic but rather how to teach it.
- Came to know that some students felt perturbed by me, need to be more expressive
- I tend to praise students and sometimes it erks other students and they start assuming I am biased. (Need to be careful)
- Stick to the fundamentals
- Learn from previous semester the topics which students had doubted in end sem and tried to revise it or teach it differently
- Used Blackboard more, ppts are not effective in many situations
- Trust students, take feedback from them half way thru
- Code along with teaching
- Importance of Test and Assignments
- Teaching Simple Topics I tend to find difficult
- Need to take care of both the Outstanding and Weak Students and not to get one sided
Some different methods applied
- Used different games to foster thinking
- Games to improve team work
- Used discussion/interactive mode
- Quiz (as teams)
- Data Structure / DBMS dumb charades
- Excercises
- Songs / Mime on different computer papers
- Assignments (Create a video on DBMS / DS) ; Writing out of box code; Create Notes from Wiki
- CMS/CME class created notes as a team and end result we had two version of notes
- Used Java Application (created by me) to explain sorts
- Shared Online resources
I tried to repeat topics in rotation rather than just going Unit 1 - 5 sequentially. Took revision classes.
