Flipped Classroom Sessions



"Pre-class study material shared; student-led sessions followed by Q&A and faculty consolidation-Students were assigned syllabus topics in advance from the respective courses. They prepared the content and conducted sessions with faculty guidance. During class, time was utilized for discussions, clarifications, and problem-solving. After each student-led session, open discussions were held to reinforce concepts and clear doubts. Subject-EET201: CIRCUITS AND NETWORKS
