Returning to Goa
The spring term of the academic year of Sussex University ends on 18th March 2011. The students will have four weeks Easter break from 19th March 2011 to 26th April 2011. After the Ester break the summer term will start from 27th April 2011 to 1st July 2011. But the teaching in summer term is going to be only in first four weeks unlike autumn and spring terms. The students will answer their examinations from 25th May 2011 to end of June 2011.
I have decided to leave Brighton on 19th March 2011 for Goa. Since last two days I am busy packing my things. I feel very happy because I successfully completed the task assigned to me. I kept myself busy attending lectures, practicals, seminars and tutorials of different courses in Arts as well as Science during these six months of my stay. I also met the faculty and the staff of the Sussex University . By staying here for two terms I understood the system of higher education in UK in general and of the Sussex University in particular. I liked the system at Sussex University because everything is pre-planned and well organised. The students are given more time to learn and less contact hours. The assessment methods develop different skills of the students. The technology is used to the maximum extent. The courses are revised every year based on the feedback. The University always looks forward to improve the standard of education by providing new and innovative courses to the students.
I am grateful to the University of Sussex for giving me an opportunity to learn their methods of teaching, learning and assessment. We can definitely adopt some of these best practices in our system of higher education.

Sir
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
Do you think it would be possible for you to continue to write this blog as it will help us get a record of differences that you will now see between what you experienced and what you see in the college now.
This will be a good way to round out your entire experience

Welcome back, Sir. Its great to see you on campus again. Your blog has been most informative, and your efforts at constantly presenting lucid detail from the UK are much appreciated. We look forward to implementing many of your observations into our own particular context here. - ranjit
ReplyDeleteYes Sir. I shall continue blogging in future.
ReplyDeleteDear Dr. Sangeeta and Ranjit,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
Great Suggestion by Umaji Sir, infact we should encourage more campus bloggers. This would definitely help to make an identity for our campus on the internet.
