| CLASSROOMS AND
TEACHING ENVIRONMENT Futures College recognizes
the fact that “smaller the class better the chances
are for the students to understand what is being taught".
This guarantees enhanced level of student-teacher interaction
and within the students performing groups. Deliberate
efforts have been made to set up the classes in classrooms
of various sizes, just to suit the requirements of the
group being taught there. Therefore, different classrooms
have been arranged ranging from small to medium size.
The College believes in enhancing the knowledge of the
students through their group work and class interaction.
Therefore, the class size needs to be manageable, neither
too small nor too crowded. Based on our teaching experience
and research, we have limited the average strength of
our classes to twenty-five.
LIBRARY AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
The teaching methods adopted in the College
recognize
student research as a consolidating factor for a thorough
grasp on the subject. Therefore, the College has been
equipped with a modern library with adequate number
of books related to the courses taught in the College.
Since the College pays special emphasis on students'
own research in their chosen fields, the students are
properly guided to the available research materials
with all the encouragement from the teachers to make
them use the College Library.
COMPUTER LABS- THE MODERN WAY TO TEACH AND
LEARN
The College is equipped with a number of branded Pentium
IV PCs that support the students in learning, research,
problem solving, data collection and report preparation.
The computer systems are equipped with all the necessary
hardware equipment, which students are expected to be
familiar with. They include scanner, laser printer,
CD writers and photocopying facilities. The College
anyway, keeps upgrading its system according to the
demands of the new development. All these systems are
also well equipped with the latest relevant software,
which are commonly required by the students. When it
comes to the use of Internet, it is our responsibility
as educators to see that that the usage is properly
directed. Therefore, for the safety and benefits of
the students and the College, different firewalls have
been placed to protect material from different sites
and different online chatting methods.
