1.2 Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Challenges(SWOC)
Institutional Strength
It is fortunate to have a deeply committed Management which has an age-old noble tradition of running reputed educational institutions Team spirit and Team effort are two pillars for sustained growth of our institution. Reasonably all large job-oriented programme options are provided to the students Has dedicated and highly qualified teaching staff with very good research credentials It is situated advantageously in the capital city of Tamilnadu with lot of schools in the vicinity to attract the best students Has an ideal green and serene campus with very good infrastructure Well connected by all modes of transport Has good practices like emphasis on value-based education, discipline, effective class room teaching, careful monitoring of mobile attendance, well-conducted examinations and timely publication of results, extension and outreach programmes, research publications, tie-ups, etc The institution has been growing from strength to strength phenomenally since its first accreditation and has shown an upward growth in all spheres of activities. The college is accredited with ‘A’ Grade in 2013 and was granted Autonomy in 2015. The college is graded as one of the Top Ten colleges in the city of Chennai. It has one of the highest research outputs by way of papers published, projects undertaken and Ph. Ds produced among Arts and Science colleges in the state; Large numbers of Industrial units are situated in the vicinity of the college.
Institutional Weakness
The institution depends on manual documentation primarily relating to Government. Lack of Vocational Training. Need to develop even more strong data base and documentation through Cloud based e-governance system. Lack of adequate English communication skill is the major setback of the student’s growth. Lack of more Institution-Institution, Institution- Industry Interactions.
Institutional Opportunity
The College is heading towards top-notch Autonomous Academic Institution. The College has potential to become Centre of Academic Excellence by the year 2020 and Deemed to be University Status by the year 2022. The College is having all potential to become a premier research institute in the years to come. Greater funding opportunities which could be utilized effectively for quality improvement could become available with autonomy. With academic autonomy the college is working towards designing new vocational courses in Automobile and Textiles. The College has a teaching community which can redefine benchmarks in academic excellence.
Page 3/97 23-01-2018 04:53:15 Self Study Report of Guru Nanak College
The College can further contribute more to the lesser fortunate in and around the College through Community extension programmes. The College is poised for foreign collaboration with autonomy and has the potential to diversify with specific courses for industry and employment. Staff Strength and their enterprising nature is a strong opportunity towards professional growth.
Institutional Challenge
Motivate teachers to apply for major and minor research projects and orient them towards high end research. Fixing up the responsibility for extension service programmes and consultancy service is a challenge. Academic excellence is tied to creating rigorously designed curriculum for new courses; getting teachers adequately trained to prepare such courses and curriculum is a challenge. Funds for infrastructure development is a major challenge since the institute depends more on fees collection rather than other sources for any development. Re-structuring teaching-learning methods to attract and motivate the modern ‘digitally native’ and technologically driven student community is another challenge; this also involves getting teachers heavily invested in improving their professional skills. Addressing the academic requirements of the heterogeneous students is a major challenge.

2.3 Teaching- Learning Process 2.3.1 Student centric methods, such as experiential learning, participative learning and problem solving methodologies are used for enhancing learning experiences
Response:
Student Centric Methods
Students construct their knowledge better when they are actively taking part in its construction. Therefore the college adopted several built-in criteria for student centric learning process. Every attempt is made to provide an ideal learning environment that enhances the relationship between techer and the student.
Cooperative learning involving small groups of students working together to accomplish a learning task is found to be a favorite method as it increases the learning capabilities of slow learners. Brainstorming sessions and case studies are periodically held so as to put the students to the thinking mode and facilitate creativity in class. Teachers of the humanities and commerce streams use problem-based learning which enables students to learn more effectively by applying the knowledge they gain earlier during the course to situations they would normally face outside the classroom. Experiments and demonstrations done in science labs add to the hands-on experience. Participation in workshops, projects, competitions and debate, both within the campus and outside provide rich learning experience to the students. A unique feature offered in the campus is the creation of a MOCs (Mock Company) where students engage themselves in performing roles of various executive positions in the company.
Students of the Plant biology and Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology participate in the annual field study tour for understanding the life and biology of the fauna and flora in their natural habitat. This student centric activity facilitates them to acquire leadership qualities, organize and plan the tour programme, develop inter-personal relationship and boost their self-confidence. Students are given the opportunity to compare their ideas with their peers and their teachers, whilst contributing to developing their curricula in a meaningful manner.
Some programs offered in the college have new innovative learning experience through projects. Post graduate students of zoology and economics undertake individual projects of their interest and their work is monitored by a guide from the department. PG students of Chemistry and MBA and the UG students of B.Com (CS), BBA and B.Sc Visual Communication, undertake group projects. As a routine, MSW students organize street plays and undertake rural projects of social relevance.
Recognizing the importance of student centric activities in the learning process, the evaluation system for each course of study has up to 30% of marks allotted for class activities. The class activities are focused towards a life-long learning experience since students are considered as a constructivist learner who needs
Page 31/97 23-01-2018 04:53:28 Self Study Report of Guru Nanak College to be intrinsically motivated by a desire to learn and be open to challenge his own values and attitudes
Some of the student centric activities currently in vogue in most programs are:
Case studies 2) Video clips 3) Role play 4) Snapshot and classification 5)Quizlet, 6) Identification and labelling of organisms/organs 7) Posters 8) Model preparation 9) Creative painting 10) Herbal gardens 11) IC boards

2.6.2 Attainment of program outcomes, program specific outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution
Response:
Method of Measuring Attainment
Guru Nanak College under autonomy initiated the adoption of Outcome-Based Education in which one of the key aspects is the assessment of the learning outcomes. At this early stage of its implementation, the specific learning outcomes [Course outcomes (CO)] was drawn out based on the Programme Outcome (PO). A multipronged method of delivery system was adopted using the conventional lectures, tutorials, workshops, usage of ICT tools and a host of class activities for each course. The Summative Assessment approach was adopted, where the students are given a standardized test or examination, such as the first continuous internal test (CIA-1-5% weightage) after the completion of 30 working days, the second continuous internal test (CIA-2-5% weightage) after the completion of 60 working days, the Model Exam (10% weightage) after the completion of 85 working days and the Final End Semester Examination (ESE- 50% weightage) ,Class activities (15% weightage), assignments (10% weightage), and attendance (5% weightage). The data used for evaluating CO attainment is obtained from the students’ mark from these assessments.
Evaluation of level of Attainment
The result of CO attainment will also be used to evaluate the attainment of Programme Outcomes (PO). The outcome of analysis will be used to improve the teaching and learning experience in the particular course. The syllabus for each course of study has mandatorily five units representing at least five course outcomes. Based on this data a generalized fitment table is developed.
The CO marks for individual student according to each CO are presented. Subjectively, a threshold of 60-70% indicate attainment level 1; a score of 70-80% indicate attainment level 2 and a score of >80% indicate attainment of level 3.
Each course outcome is mapped for their relevance with the Program outcome and a CO/PO matrix is developed. Subjectively, a threshold of 60-70% indicate attainment level 1; a score of 70-80% indicate attainment level 2 and a score of >80% indicate attainment level 3. The methodology followed has been modified from that published by Izham Zainal Abidin et al (2009) to suit our needs. The college is just in the process of using this system in order to help Lecturers carry out the CO attainment analysis.
