and in groups, discussion, debate, and quiz, seminars preparing notes, observation and program writing.
Preparation for practical work also should take place in the class room. Preparation notes for laboratory
work, design stepss and data are some of the things that have to be developed in the class room before
the practical work in the laboratory. Among these, individual activities such as assignment and self-
check questions given in the text book could be done at Home. But they have to be discussed in the class
room. The students should also record such assignments in the note book. The teacher should give clear
instructions as to what are the activities to be done at home and how they could be done. On the Job
