Teaching Techniques
Use of OHP
 Highly experienced teachers of
UA
make students grasp many complex lessons through the use of
latest techniques and tools of teaching. They constantly take
the help of the overhead projectors to simplify their job and
that of students.
Tutorial classes
Students are also given as many revision classes as they
need. These revision classes are free of cost and are provided
to meet their needs.
Use of audio-visual
Modern teaching system at UA includes a comprehensive
audio-visual programme to enhance the teaching skills and
learning environment.
Orientation,
course of study & model questions
UA gives orientation lectures for a couple of days before
the regular classes start. UA provides booklets containing
course of study for both classes XI and XII in the beginning
of the academic session. Towards the end of the academic
session, the students are provided with a set of model
questions including the past Board Examination papers for each
subject to familiarize the students with the Board question
pattern.
Handout system
In order to assist the students in
their study, the teachers of related subjects provide handouts
as
supporting materials on given lesson.
But the students have to prepare their own notes referring to
the class lectures, textbooks, reference books and the
handouts.
Home work projects
UA believes that revision is the key technique to remember
the textual concepts. That's why we always assign students as
much homework as possible. Homework is checked and returned
promptly each week for each subject. This helps the students
to keep pace with their studies.
Student as a tutor programme
Students can forget most of the
lessons
taught-in
the classroom. So, UA has
adopted an approach to make them remember their course.
During the second term, the students are made to deliver a
lecture on whatever they have been taught from the beginning
of the session. This is a part of the academic exercise.
Debates & presentation
This is an extension of the Student as a Tutor Programme.
UA encourages interested students to take up public speaking.
The excellent performers of the Student as a Tutor Programme
are engaged in debates and presentations on selected issues of
public concern. This is a part of the extra-curricular
activities. Students are allowed to participate in the talks
and presentations on a competitive basis outside the college.
Interaction with parents &
guardians
UA has a tradition of regular
interaction with parents and guardians. After each terminal
examination, the Principal, Academic
In-charge and the concerned faculty
subject teachers discuss the academic performance of the
student in person. The interaction with parents and guardians
is also undertaken when the students have serious problems
with their studies, discipline and irregularities in their
classes.
Scholarship & Award
In order to encourage students in
their studies,
UA gives
Academic Awards to those students who secure 1 '•', 2nd
and 3rd positions in every terminal examination. The Academy
also awards scholarships to students who secure 1st, 2nd
and 3rd positions in Higher Secondary Examination Board (HSEB)
examination (in class XI) in each faculty;
100% scholarship for 1st,
50% for 2nd
and 25% for 3rd will be awarded. The student who secures the
highest percentage in annual examination also awarded a
scholarship.
We offer scholarships to
brilliant students after examining certain basic conditions.
This is a facility given to economically
weak students so that they could pursue their higher studies.
This facility aims at increasing students' general welfare.
Scholarships are provided on the
following criteria:
• 50% scholarship is awarded to
three students who have secured 80% or above in
SLC.
• 100% scholarship is awarded to two
students who have obtained above 85% in the SLC Board
examination.
• 100% scholarship on tuition fee is
awarded to the topper of entrance exam in each
faulty.
Student Service
Visiting Professors or dignitaries
This is another tradition at
UA.
We know that students today need not only book based
teaching but also advice and counseling by specialists in
different fields. Keeping this in view, we have established a
tradition of holding educational seminars where well-known
personalities come and deliver lectures at United Academy
premises. The lecturers come from various disciplines such as
arts, science, commerce, legal and civil experts.
Computer Courses
Today's people would be illiterate without the knowledge of
computer. In view of this, the Academy has made the
introductory computer courses compulsory for all students.
Extra Curricular Activities
Games such as basketball, football,
volleyball,
table tennis, chess etc. meet the students'
need of extra curricular
activities. Players aspiring to go for various sports are
given special
facilities. Students can also take part in other cultural and
educational activities like poetry, music, debate and quiz
competitions organized within college or outside college.
Student Council
UA believes that students should be
given opportunity for development of individual skills. For
enhancing their skill, UA has a student council. The council
has representatives from each faculty. The Student Council
encourages the students to participate in different college
activities. The Student Council is also responsible for
publishing the
tri-monthly
Newsletter and the annual magazine of the Academy.
Counseling Department
A Counseling
Department has been established to address the students'
problems of different nature:
academic, disciplinary
and personal to help them solve the problems. This department
is responsible for guiding the students in every aspect of
life in the process of career building. On the other hand,
