FDP/ Workshops Organized
3. FDP on Intellectual Property Rights
An FDP on Intellectual Property Rights was conducted with IQAC and Mahatma Hansraj Faculty Development Centre. With the introduction of New Education Policy in the country the need of IPR in academics becomes more evident. Everything in a teacher's profession could be protected by a legal right called Intellectual property right (IPR). The amount of IP generated by an institution acts as a quality indicator of its research activities and helps in improving NIRF rankings and NAAC points. Further, IP helps in establishing an innovative ecosystem, incubating startups and earning revenue by technology transfer, licensing and commercialization of IP. UGC and AICTE recommend incorporation of IP and IPRs in the curriculum. Hence, there is an immense need to create awareness about IP and IPRs among faculty, scientists, researchers and students about identification, protection, management and commercialization of IP.
4. Interdisciplinary Faculty Development Programme on Introduction to Python Programming
A Two weeks online interdisciplinary Faculty Development Programme on Introduction to Python Programming (for non-Computer Science faculty and researchers) was conducted by Mahatma Hansraj Faculty Development Centre. The FDP was attended by faculty across India from different streams. The participants liked the pedagogy used for the programming which really helped them to become more familiar with the coding. Participants also shared their keen interest to attend the future modules i.e. Data Analysis and data visualization and Machine Learning as an interdisciplinary tool. Technical and Computing skills are an integral part of our education and careers, for which Hansraj College has come up with the initiative to provide Microsoft Office Tools Skills to students in our Rajbhasha, Hindi.
5. One-week Faculty Development Programme (Online)
The Department of Computer Science, Hansraj College along with Mahatma Hansraj Faculty Development Centre (A Centre of MoE, Govt. of India under PMMMNMTT Scheme) organized a one-week FDP with a goal to help the faculties and research scholars to learn the skills required to apply data science and machine learning concepts in their interdisciplinary research areas and academics. The Organising Team comprised the Chairperson Prof Rama, Convenor Ms. Sunita Chand, Coordinator Ms Aarti Goel and Organizing committee members, Dr.Manju and Mr. Suyash Kumar from the Department of Computer Science, Hansraj College.

1. Peer to Peer Learning Programme:
Objectives : Peer to peer learning can be traced back to Aristotle’s use of archons, or student leaders, and the letters of Seneca the Younger. It’s an effective teaching method that engages students and brings out their efficiency in a great way. With peer to peer learning in action, students get to learn by explaining their ideas and active participation in multiple activities. Since they collaboratively learn from their peers, it enhances other crucial soft skills along with the knowledge of the curricula.
Context Different techniques of learning have been used to facilitate and make a peer to peer learning environment into effect. These techniques are in and out of the classroom, including peer tutoring, small and large groups for class discussion, and online discussion and feedback.
It does help in multiple learning aspects and cannot be defined in a single strategy. The technique extends to various activities and educators as well as students get to choose from an array of choices as per their likings as well as utility.
Practice “Peer-Peer learning program” under the aegis of SLC is an ongoing pilot program in various departments which is running with great enthusiasm amongst the students of computer science. Peer learning has been mutually beneficial and involves the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and experience between the participants. It can be described as a way of moving beyond independent to interdependent or mutual learning.
1. Senior to Junior
This practice involves senior students teaching junior students. This is done in two ways:
2. Take Turns Teaching
Under this practice, students collectively teach and learn. Pairing mixed-ability students enforce defined tutor and tutee roles, whereas having same-ability students work together adds variety to the peer teaching approach. Formally, this is called reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT). Practicing this, students get turns teaching or they give feedback to each other.
3. Peer Study Groups
The activity is similar to group study one used to do in school days. These are also known as peer support groups or private study groups. Most of the time, they are organized by students themselves and don’t need the presence of an educator. They take place during free time, after classes, or on weekends.
This practice is beneficial for motivating students to start preparing for their exams or completing assignments due dates. When students study together, their peers can push them to do better, and collectively they come up with better ideas, support each other, and can help one another with their academic challenges.

Mentorship: It's important for students to interact with someone who has already traversed this path and been through all difficulties to achieve success in their career so that they can guide students from their experiences. Computer Science, being one of the sought after courses, attracts students coming from so many different backgrounds, languages, cultures, social and economic status, it is almost impossible for students to gather all their learning from the classroom sessions. Students join computer science with a lot of hope and positive vibes to shape up their careers and this zeal needs to be channelized in the right direction for them to stay motivated and always keep pushing themselves to gain more exposure and experiential learning. Students need someone who could walk an extra mile for them to understand their background, strengths, weaknesses, current needs and always motivates and aligns their actions to future goals.
We provide a very strong social and cultural framework to students that help them in their overall development and not just stay focused towards completion course studies through mentorship sessions.
