English Department made a successful transition to online teaching through Google Meet, with the closure of colleges due to the Covid pandemic from August 2020. The department used online resources to conduct exams, evaluate student assignments and exam scripts and also share primary and secondary sources.
Multiple webinars, workshops and lectures were also organised in the online mode for students as well as faculty in 2020-2021.
Special attention was paid to the academic requirements of slow learners by organising regular remedial classes.
While advanced learners were encouraged to explore topics of their choice in research projects that were facilitated as a part of the curriculum. Research projects provide an opportunity for advanced learners to learn the valuable skills of research, analysis, writing, and editing, which are likely to benefit them at Masters level.
Performance by students of GEC: Text and Performance, as part of their course work, where five plays were presented, The Game of TRPs, Poles Apart, Goonj, Mazdoornama and Caged, on 10 November 2020.
Student friendly practices including, foundation lectures, active mentoring of students by faculty, remedial classes for slow learners, Research project for Advanced learners, theatrical performances, creative writing competitions and quizzes, and interactive webinars and film screenings.
