Student representation is diverse not just in terms of regional and linguistic aspects but also their level and pace of comprehensibility. Since it would be inappropriate to divide a class into groups based on students’ level of comprehension, classroom observation, interaction, continuous and periodic assessment are used as a measuring system to assess learning levels of the students.
MANUU’s Remedial Coaching Centre for Minorities (RCCM) and the Departments draw up the schedule for organising remedial classes for slow learners. This exercise is done in a discreet manner and slow learners are encouraged and prodded to recognize their shortcomings and register on their own without compulsion. Teachers are able to give one to one attention in remedial classes and focus on individual problems in a better manner when compared to a regular classroom in which the advanced learners’ participation may inhibit the others from voicing their problems.
The departments use monitoring and mentoring to keep track of slow learners’ progress. Alongwith teachers some advanced learners are encouraged to mentor weak students and help them with explanation and notes. Revision classes and counselling sessions are held and additional teaching taken up if required.
Tutoring by peers, senior students, and mentors is offered. Corrected assignments and answer scripts are shared with each student and discussed to enable students recognize their problematic areas and improve. Faculty makes it a point to be patient and accessible to students personally, over phone, mail, and social apps.
Advanced learners are encouraged to study Recommended Readings listed in each syllabus. They are encouraged to maintain a journal or diary. Gold Medals are awarded to the toppers in the University Convocation. Meritorious students are included as members of Committees. Net Coaching Centre, Civil Services Examination Coaching Academy and UGC Coaching for Minorities Entry into Services offer specialised programs to cater to the growth of advanced learners. Training and Placement Cell invites Companies and Industries to hold their placement drive at the University and students are encouraged to actively register for the interviews. Training and Placement Cell also provides training in intervieiw skills and communication skills. Proficiency in English classes, Functional Use of English, Personality Development programs are organised to enhance employability of the students.
Online resources are made available to strengthen the knowledge-base. Students are encouraged to participate in seminars, conferences and workshops to gain knowledge. The Faculty takes a keen interest while ordering books for the Central library and ascertains that the library collection of books cater to the needs of both slow and advanced learners. The library also ensures accessibility to computer facility and internet for the online material, extends its timings and provides atmosphere for conducive learning to both slow and advanced learners.The faculty facilitates students to publish their articles in renowned peer reviewed journals. Competent research scholars and those receiving Junior Research Scholarship are allotted classes for teaching.
