The first semester begins with a one-week orientation to many of the resources available to students. These include introduction to such campus facilities as the media lab, network, Internet access and software tools. Subsequently, students are expected to further familiarize themselves with the use of these software tools by working with audio-visual and interactive training materials. Out-of-station students are encouraged to learn more about Bangalore city, its institutions, public transportation, and other facts that could come in handy when everyone is required to cover a city neighborhood as part of the Reporting and Writing course.
A full-time English tutor is assigned from the start to those students who need assistance in improving their writing skills. The tutor will hold regular English classes during the first semester, offer one-on-one remedial support, and answer questions that arise from time to time when writing news stories and other reports. The goal is to provide the necessary support to those students who may not have adequate writing skills.
