I wish all the people thinking of helping consider few things - which are sad reality of present education.
1.Out of 180 students atleast 170 will require spoon-feeding, hand-holding etc. There is no substitute to regular class-room+lab type of teaching for them. 2.Self learning is very minimal 3.College Management expects us to be physically present. 4.First semester will require extensive teaching and hence physical presence will be required. We can form a team to teach different languages/tools. 5.During actual projects personal contacts/interaction can be minimal. 6.Teaching over irc,email, forum etc., are ruled out. At the maximum they can be used for clearing doubts What are the ways ILUGC members can contribute? 1.If you can spare time (3.30 to 5.30) take class even if it is for 1 or 2 days please do. We will workout a timetable and post it. 2.Create project ideas in the wiki page. Also clearly state basic requirements. Since it is MCA projects need not be IEEE. 3.During project stage the hours will be flexible and probably we can ask students to meet the mentors at a place convenient to the mentor. So mentoring the project, in my opinion many can volunteer.
