Teaching Methodologies
Question: What is the "Reverse Course" (or Flipped Classroom) method of
learning?
Answer: It is a teaching strategy where students engage with instructional content
(like video lectures) at home and use in-class time for labs, collaborative
projects, and hands-on problem-solving with the instructor.
System Design & Logic
Question: What is the "IPO thinking standard" in computer programming?
Answer: It is a fundamental design framework used to determine a program's
structure by identifying three distinct stages:
1. Input: The data or information that enters the system.
2. Process: The logical steps, algorithms, or calculations performed on that
data.
3. Output: The final result, information, or action produced by the program.
