the top right hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.
2) Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Title Assignment Code and Name
of our Study Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your
response sheet. Course Code and Assignment Code may be reproduced from
the assignment. The top of the first page of your response sheet should look like this:
Enrolment

Name...................................
Address................................ ................................
Course Title........................... Assignment No....................... Date.............................. Programme Study Centre.......................... All Tutor Marked Assignments are to be submitted at the study centre
assigned to you.
3) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions if
any given on the assignment itself about the subject matter or its
presentation.
4) Go through the Units on which assignments are based. Make some points
regarding the question and then rearrange those points in a logical
order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. Make sure that the
answer is logical and coherent, and has clear connections between
sentences and paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the
question given in the assignment. Make sure that you have attempted
all the main points of the question. Once you are satisfied with your
answer, write down the final version neatly and underline the points
you wish to emphasize. While solving numerical, use proper format and
give working notes wherever necessary.
5) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages
carefully. Avoid using very think paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the
left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This may facilitate
the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate
places.
6) 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.
7) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is
noticed, the assignments of such students will be rejected.
8) Write each assignment separately. All the assignment should not be
written in continuity.
9) Write the question number with each answer.
10) The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the
Study Centre allotted to you. Under any circumstances do not send the
tutor marked response sheets to the Student Registration and
Evaluation Division at Head Quarters for evaluation.
11) After submitting the assignment at the Study centre get the
acknowledgement from the Coordinator on the prescribed assignment
remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
12) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should
submit your Tutor marked Assignments only to the original Study Centre
until the change of Study Centre is notified by the University.
13) 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. A Note of Caution
It has been noticed that some students are sending answers to Check Your
Progress Exercises to the University for evaluation. Please do not send
them to us. These exercises are given to help in judging your own progress.
For this purpose, we have provided the answers to these exercises at the
end of each Unit. We have already mentioned this in the Programme Guide. Before dispatching your answer script, please make sure you have taken care
of the following points:
. Your roll number, name and address have been written correctly.
. The title of the course and assignment number have been written clearly.
. Each assignment on each course has been written on separate sheets and
pinned properly.
. All the questions in the assignments have been answered. Now read the guidelines before answering questions. GUIDELINES FOR TMA The Tutor Marked Assignments have two parts. Section A: Descriptive Questions (80 marks) In this section, you have to answer eight to ten questions in all. Section B: Objective Type Questions (OTQ) (20 marks) This section contains various types of objective questions. POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND 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 rearrange these in a logical order.
2) Organization: Be a little more selective and analytical. Give
attention to your introduction and conclusion. The introduction must
offer your brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to
develop it. The conclusion must summarize your response to the
question. 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
d) does not exceed the number of words indicated in the question.
3) Presentation: Once you are satisfied with your answers, you can write
down the final version for submission, writing each answer neatly and
underline the points you wish to emphasize. ASSIGNMENT 1
