To achieve these objectives and to prepare the students to face the challenges of modern times, more emphasis is being laid on self-directed learning with lesser reliance on teachers as traditional lecturers. Because of relatively smaller number of students in each class, lectures remain an effective way of communicating with students. Apart from the traditional didactic teaching, more recent methods of learning and teaching are being employed, such as case-based learning. Tutorial sessions are regularly held every week to enable small groups of students to discuss the details of a lecture topic. Students are expected to prepare an applied topic and present in a small group and discuss the implications of that with their fellow students.
Teacher acts as a facilitator.
In this way the students are involved in small group discussions to allow maximum student interaction which promotes self-learning and confidence among students. Problem based learning is employed to stimulate ability to think critically. Providing students an opportunity in learning to deal with the problems they will face in professional life later on. Emphasizing students' self-motivation and responsibility for learning. Training in skills such as leadership and teamwork.
