Supplemental materials such as 

lesson plans, student worksheets,

and instructor guides can help teachers provide students with stronger
learning experiences. The activities and guides give the teacher new ways of
applying the content of the course in the classroom.

Hand-out
A handout is a paper based resource used to support teaching and
learning which can free students from excessive notetaking or supplement
information not easily available elsewhere. Ideally it should aid learning and
may increase attention and motivation and help students to follow the
development of an idea or argument.

Why use a Hand-out?

There are several reasons for using a handout. It can:

● provide definitions for the more jargon ridden subjects;

● provide background information or detailed information, e.g. statistics, which
are not readily available elsewhere;
● put forward a point of view;
● outline a course of action;
● pose conceptual questions;
● provide a case study for problemsolving or discussion;
● outline the session with a series of bullet points per topic area

Types of Hand-outs

● Uncompleted or gapped handout: this is a handout with gaps which

students fill in.
● Skeletal notes: literally the bare bones of a session (key statement, a
definition, a diagram) with gaps/spaces and omissions to be completed by the
student.
● Worksheets: questions, problems which the student must answer or solve.
● Information sheets: there are several areas of the institution where a guide
would be useful, e.g. administration of the course (term dates, semester dates,
assessment hand-in dates etc.); a teaching scheme for the module; computer
and library information.

Alternative to Hand-outs

● Internet and Webbsites
● Email

Assignment Sheet/ Assignment

 Assignments are given to students to bridge the gap between student’s
learning at school and at home. Assignments are assumed to produce the
desired documents which can be put to use for future study. The statement or
the question they attempt has to be understood completely in detail to
complete the assignment successfully.When it comes to discussing the
advantages of assignments, we have attempted to elaborate on 7 main
advantages. Read on!

The following are technical advantages of assignment writing:

1. Provides Awareness and Knowledge about Technical Topic.

2. Writing Skills Are Improved.
2. Analytical Abilities or Cognitive Abilities Are Also Enhanced.
3. Research Traits Are Also Enhanced.
4. Application of Real Life Examples Improves Learning.  
5. Scope of Improvement.
6. Helps You during Exams.
