With I ntroduction of Syllabus of Sociology of Women , the classes began. As the students came up with lots of network issues and others, they requested for flexibility in the classes. Hence I decided to take the classes via Google Classroom by attaching the video link of my YouTube channel and other external Videos. Even for me also, It was quite difficult to take classes from college, as there was network fluctuations, staff room was full of Faculty and students were coming for admission approval.

 Students have to exposed to kind of learning process, so that their thoughts will progress. One such experiment was done on 25th February 2019, for the first time in Department of Sociology, GFGC, Chikkaballapura. The same had given good results if GFGC, Yelahanka when I (Deepa S.V) had experimented. Students enjoyed reading their area of interest and learnt a lot.

 Students are always enthusiastic for their next class, semester etc. Similarly they are very passionate about different types of learning. One such trial was done for the second time in Department of Sociology, GFGC, Chikkaballapura by HOD, Smt Deepa S.V. On 8th August 2019 , all the students were asked to bring present day and previous day Newspapers of their choice in language. They were briefed to select their area of interest in paper. Now the time was given for them to read from that section and write up their learning. Many students came up with simple writings, some came up with analysis, critics etc. It was fantabulous experience for me also as a faculty. The budding Sociologists are capable of bringing lot many positive changes in the society. I felt, I can name this as Innovative/Experimental Learning . Will plan to come up more of these types, where students are comfortable and eager to learn.
