SWOC analysis of the Department and Future Plan
Strength:
- Faculty is aware and paid special attention to those students who are weak in learning. Remedial classes, tutorials are the measures taken by the teachers in each and every academic session.
- Impressive result of Final Examinations.
- Increasing student’s strength in the subject.
- Departmental Library.
Weakness:
- Single Teacher.
- Faculty strength is not sufficient because it is single Teacher Department.
- ICT enabled Classroom for department is not sufficient.
- Limited departmental resources for faculty and students.
Opportunities:
- In spite of having its limitations, the department tries to render quality education, encourages and prepares students for building their higher academic career.
Challenges:
It is seen that having a concept of difficulty for scoring marks in History students show less interest to take History as a subject in UG course. It would be fruitful of students can be taken to regular field visit to take places and monuments of Assam having historical significance which have contributed a lot to the enrich History of Assam. Though there is a provision of field visit in semester III. According to the syllabus, but it is insufficient to encourage students to study History as a Subject.
Best Practices:
- Departmental Quiz is organized.
- Introduction of Google Classroom
Teaching Methods:
In addition to the traditional chalk and talk method classes, special interactive classes are taken by applying group discussion, question-answer and demonstration method are arranged to encourage the students and thereby improve their learning. Fifty Percent(50%) classes are taken through the use of technology by means of slide show presentation.
