3. We expect you to answer each question as per guidelines mentioned in the assignment. You will find it useful to keep the following points in mind: 1) Planning: Read the assignments carefully. Go through the units on which they are based.

Make some points regarding each question and then re-arrange these in a logical order. 2) Organisation: Be a little more selective and analytical before drawing up a rough outline

of your answer. Give adequate attention to your introduction and conclusion. Make sure that your answer:

a) is logical and coherent;

b) has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs;

c) is written correctly giving adequate consideration to your expression, style and presentation

3) Presentation: Once you are satisfied with your answers, you can write down the final

version for submission, writing each answer neatly and underlining the points you wish to emphasize. Make sure that the answer is within the stipulated word limit.

4. Use A4 size ruled paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Allow a 4 cm

margin on the left and leave some space between each answer. This will facilitate the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.

5. Write the responses in your own hand. Do not print or type the answers. Do not copy your answers from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero marks for the respective question.

6. Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the

assignments of such students will be rejected.

7. Write each assignment separately. All the assignments should not be written in continuity. For each Course use separate sheets or start on the next sheet.

11. If you find that there is any factual error in evaluation of your assignments e.g. any portion

of assignment response has not been evaluated or total of score recorded on assignment response is incorrect, you should approach the coordinator of your study centre for correction and transmission of correct score to headquarters.
