Teaching Techinique, United Academy
Use of OHP
Highly experienced teachers of UA make students grasp many complex lessons through the use of latest techniques and tools of teaching. They constantly take the help of the overhead projectors to simplify their job and that of students.
Multi-media presentation
UA intends to use a new teaching technique, in order to make lessons easily comprehensible. Through the use of computer which transfers text materials concerning lessons and pictures in screen.
Tutorial classes
Students are also given as many revision classes as they need. These revision classes are free of cost and are provided to meet their needs.
Use of audio-visuals
Modern teaching system at UA includes a comprehensive audio-visual programme to enhance the teaching skills and learning environment.
Orientation on course of study and model questions
UA gives orientation lectures for a couple of days before the regular classes start. UA provides booklets containing course of study for both classes XI and XII at the beginning of the academic session. Towards the end of the academic session, students are provided with a set of model questions including the past Board Examinations and send-up questions of other well known colleges for each subject to familiarize students with the Board pattern and possible questions pattern.
Revision classes/discussion classes will be conducted after the Send-up exams
Student as a tutor programme
Students tend to forget most of the lessons taught in the classroom. So, UA has adopted an approach to make them remember their course. After immediate second term examination, students are made to deliver a lecture on whatever they have been taught from the beginning of the session. This is a part of the academic exercise.
Education tours/Field trips
Students are taken to tours/trips for the research oriented practical examinations as required in their syllabus.
Handout system
In order to assist students in their study, the teachers of related subjects provide handouts as supporting materials on given lesson. But students have to prepare their own notes referring to the class lectures, textbooks, reference books and the handouts.
Homework projects
UA believes that revision is the key technique to remember the textual concepts. That's why we always assign students as much homework as possible. Homework is checked and returned promptly each week for each subject. This helps the students to keep pace with their studies.
Debates and presentation
This is an extension of the Student as a Tutor Programme. UA encourages interested students to take up public speaking. Excellent performers of the Student as a Tutor Programme are engaged in debates and presentations on selected issues of public concern. This is a part of the extra-curricular activities. Students are encouraged to participate in talks and presentations outside the college.
