The Resource Person for the session was Ms. Darshana Umarye, Assistant Professor in Mathematics. The session goal was to teach students effective problem-solving techniques. Logical reasoning could help students to discover and assess different solutions using logical thinking, assessing the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative before making a choice. 31 students attended the session.
FY BBA(FS) student Ms. Akshada Salkar welcomed and introduced the Resource Person to the audience. The Resource Person commenced the session by explaining how assumptions can be used to more critically assess arguments and how to better comprehend the logic behind them. By using a few instances, she also demonstrated how to recognize and assess implicit assumptions, which are frequently the cause of incorrect thinking or arguments. Later, she worked through a few problems involving statements and conclusions, seating arrangements, blood relationships, puzzle-type questions, relationship problems based on statements, clocks and calendars, Venn diagrams, syllogisms, verbal & figure classification, number series, and she also shared advice on how to quickly and easily solve each one.
At the end of the session, the speaker addressed the queries raised by the students in regards to the logical reasoning syllabus covered in the competitive exams. The students found the session very informative and enlightening. The session ended with a Vote of Thanks proposed by Mr. Ibrahim Pirjade, student of FY BBA(FS).
