The participants answered pre-test and post-test for the above topic and feedback was taken using a pre-tested questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis of the data. Results: Statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test score (p<0.001) was observed. The overall mean score of the learning experience of participants was 4.14±03 with the statement 'the activity helped me in enhancing communication skill' having highest mean score of 4.59 and 'the activity enabled in depth coverage of the topic' having lowest mean score of 3.58. Majority of the participants (83%) preferred JCL method of teaching learning. A number of advantages and disadvantages of this method were also opined by the participants in the openended questions. Conclusion: Based on the participants' opinions and positive approach, JCL can contribute to better understanding and comprehension of the concepts, improvement in communication, and analytical skills, making learning an enjoyable experience for the students.
