Refresher Course-3rd September to 24th September

From 3rd September 2025 to 22nd September 2025, we had our refresher course. Each day consisted of four sessions running from 9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. quite a long schedule. We were provided with good food free of cost: a healthy breakfast in the morning, lunch, and tea breaks in between. Various teaching professionals were invited to deliver lectures and share their insights on specific topics, which made the sessions engaging and informative. On the 18th and 19th of September, we had our MCQ tests and PowerPoint presentations. The schedule was arranged alphabetically, and since my name starts with P, I had my turn on the 19th. On that day, the presentations began at 2:00 p.m. In the middle of our session, we received the heartbreaking news that Assam’s heartthrob, Zubeen Garg, had passed away in Singapore. At first, the news was not fully confirmed, so we continued with our presentations. But once the confirmation came, we were all completely devastated. After the 19th, the entire envi...

Phd-Day-08-30/08/2025(Saturday)~Online Class by Polly Ma'am

On Saturday, 30th August, at 10:30 in the morning, Polly Ma’am conducted an online class where I had to present my research topic—why I chose it, why it is a problem, and the criteria I used. Ma’am mentioned that among all five of us, I was the only one who could clearly present the research problem. This boosted my confidence. For Monday’s class, she gave us another assignment: to read two research papers, identify which theory the authors have used, explain the problem, why and how they applied that theory, and how it relates to policy change.

Phd-Day:09&10-01/09/2025 and 02/09/2025

On 1st September 2025, we attended the classes of PV Ma’am and AB Ma’am. On 2nd September 2025, in our 3rd Semester PV Ma’am’s class, we learned and revisited the Observation Method and Participant Methods of Research. Later, during our coursework class, I had to present my assignment: reading two research papers, identifying the theories used by the authors, explaining the problems addressed, why and how the theories were applied, and how they relate to policy change. In addition, I also reflected on why and how those theories could be applied in my own research and how they might influence policy change in my area of study. By God’s grace, I was able to present it well. Ma’am appreciated me, saying “You are so structured and so clear.” She even told my fellow classmates, “She is too good.”
