Do I get a certificate of completion at the end of the course? What must I do in order to obtain that certificate?

All learners that attend at least 80% (24 hours of the 30 hours) of the classroom sessions will be awarded a certificate of completion from Ashoka University. In case a learner fails to attend 80% of the lecture sessions, they will not be given a certificate. This is essential for us to maintain classroom rigour and the quality of peer learning.

Who are TAs? What are discussion sessions/tutorials?

TAs (Teaching Assistants) are experienced, trained students in the discipline who will assist the faculty member to deliver the course. They will be the Point Of Contact (PoCs) (for both learners and faculty) for any logistical query or issue during the course. They also facilitate discussion sessions and tutorials. Discussion sessions and tutorials are usually held in smaller groups to resolve any doubts that learners may have, discuss readings, and to introduce new concepts. These serve as complimentary sessions to the lectures and add depth to learner understanding.
