What is ‘The Liberal Teaching Model’ followed by the best B. A. (Hons.) college in Bangalore??

Inter disciplinary knowledge that comes from multiple disciplines is an essential component of the Liberal Teaching Model. The model stresses the importance of understanding all disciplines and exploring connections between them. It also focuses on critical thinking and other 21st century skills and includes a focus on student-centred learning.

As students advance with an exponential increase of courses from Level-100 (Foundation) to Level-300 (Core Specialisation), teachers perpetually use new and trending teaching methods to approach the diverse range of student needs.
Pedagogies will vary across Subject Majors, and can range to mainly lectures for Level-100 subjects to case study discussions for Level-300 subjects. For e.g. courses that need practical knowledge will be held in performance/activity-led studio classes (Film studies, Performing Arts), while evidence based studies will have field work, site visits and report writing( Environmental Science, Indology).
Courses will vary between 2-4 Credits. Each Credit = 15 Hours. All 4 credit courses will span across 18 weeks and will feature 14-15 teaching weeks, and one mid-semester break.
Students will be evaluated based on continuous classroom assessment, mid-term assignments and a summative end-term examination.
A student graduating from the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences program will own a signature portfolio/ thesis that can be published and showcased for employment. As the output will be based on practical learning approaches and involves hands-on immersive activities, the research will be student-driven and results oriented.
