Dear Students,
You will have to attempt one assignment for the Elective Course in English-08. This single
assignment is a Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) and carries 100 marks. It will be based
on blocks 1 to 6.

Aims: The TMA is concerned mainly with assessing your application and understanding of
the course material. You are not required to reproduce chunks of information from the
course material but to use the skills of critical appreciation that you may have acquired
during the course of study. This assignment aims to teach as well as to assess your
performance.

Instructions: Before attempting the questions please read the following instructions
carefully.

1. Read the detailed instructions about the assignment given in the Programme Guide
for Elective Courses.

2. Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address and Date on the top right
corner of the first page of your response sheet(s).

3. Write the Course Title, Assignment Number and the Name of the Study Centre you
are attached to in the centre of the first page of your response sheet(s).

The top of the first page of your response sheet should look like this:

ENROLMENT NO: ………………………


NAME : …………………………………..
ADDRESS : ………………………………
………………………………
COURSE TITLE : ………………………..
ASSIGNMENT NO: ……………………..
STUDY CENTRE : ……………………… DATE : ………………………………..

4. Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tag all the pages carefully.

5. Write the relevant question number with each answer.

6. You should write in your own handwriting.

7. Submission: The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the


Study Centre allotted to you by 31st March 2010 (For July, 2009 session) and 30th
September,2010 (For January, 2010 session). Please read the instructions given
in your Programme Guide.

Now read the following guidelines carefully before answering the questions.
GUIDELINES FOR TMA

You will find it useful to keep the following points in mind:

1. Planning: Read the assignment carefully. Go through the units on which it is


based. Make some points regarding each question and then rearrange these in a
logical order.

2. Organisation: Be a little more selective and analytic before drawing up a rough


outline of your answer. In an essay-type question, give adequate 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 summarise
your response to the question. In the course of your answer, you may like to make
references to other texts or critics as this will add some depth to your analysis.

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 your question.

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 emphasise.

You may be aware that you need to submit your assignment before you can appear for
the Term End Exams. Please remember to keep a copy of your completed
assignment, just in case the one you submitted is lost in transit.

Good luck with your work!
