Salesian College Publication


Compiled & Edited by Salesian College Publication for the staff and students of the
Departments of Salesian College.
November 2013
Cover Design & Printed by: Systematic Designers & Printers Pvt. Ltd.

Foreword
Learning becomes inter-disciplinary when the contents and issues of different
disciplines are brought together onto one platform for exchange, discourse and
critique. This larger vision is underlying the present apparently ordinary exercise of
reproducing the course contents of various disciplines of the University of North
Bengal being offered at the College.
In this task, therefore, the college publication intends to acknowledge and give due
credit to the various Boards of Studies that have worked out the syllabi keeping in
mind the developments of knowledge in the respective fields and the needs of the
contemporary generation of students and their potential employers. We are indeed
happy that in the preparation of two sets of syllabi, Music and Psychology, among
the many included in this compendium, our college departments have had an active
share. It thereby also endeavours to offer a common space for comparison and
contrast not only with regard to stylistics and content modulisation but also the
impact each discipline intends to have on the others and on the wider society.
I would like to thank specially the Heads of Departments and the respective faculty
members for having collaborated in compiling, editing and proof reading the matter
presented in the compendium of syllabi of the courses being taught by them at
Salesian College Sonada and Siliguri. I am sure this exercise of reviewing the
course content in the process of getting it ready for publication would have generated
ideas for the further revision of the syllabus as well as helped in preparing the
course plan against which each faculty makes the weekly diary entries and the
monthly unitization reports. These, though routine activities are significant indicators
of a system operating in its full potential.
I would like to thank specially the chief coordinator of this syllabus book project for
the second consecutive attempt, Mr Peter Lepcha, Assistant Professor, Department
of English as well as the Campus Coordinator of the Day session and the Systematic
Printers and Designers, Sevoke Road, Siliguri, for the neat execution of this task
which will benefit in many ways the College and persons probably even beyond its
confines.
