| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of various teaching
methods used for teaching students at graduate and post graduate levels. Two
hundred technical students were interviewed about their perceptions of best
and effective teaching methods and the reason for that. Most of the students
rated lecture method as the best teaching method. Reasons included; teacher
provides all knowledge related to topic, saving of time, students attentively
listen to lectures and take notes, etc. Group discussion was rated as the second
best method of teaching. The Project-based collaborative learning is an active,
problem-centered approach to teaching and learning. As the name implies, it
is a fusion of two related approaches- project-based learning and collaborative
learning. Use of writing in engineering courses can help in achieving both
technical depth and educational breadth in engineering programs. Engineering
students can use words in describing concepts so that they will be encouraged
to develop a linear, logical, and connected set of ideas in understanding them.
Each student is thus forced to think carefully and in detail. |

Teaching and learning are the two sides of a coin. The literature on teaching is crammed full of well researched ways that teachers can present content and skills that will enhance the opportunities for students to learn. It is equally filled with suggest |
