7.2 Studying Course Material
The course material consists of both theory and practical print material along with the
audio video programmes developed for the programme.
A) Theory and Practical Print Material
Studying Theory Print Material
While going through the Theory course, you will note that each course has been divided into
5-6 blocks having total of 6 credits already explained. Each block has 4-5 units. These units
are placed in a related manner to maintain the continuity of learning, within the block and each
credit is equal to 30 student study hours.
The course material will be provided in the form of well designed printed blocks. The first
page of each block shows the numbers and titles of the units of the block with page numbers.
In the next page of each block, we have the credit page and then the units.
Each unit has an introduction in which we tell you about what is in the units. We outline a
list of objectives which we expect you to achieve while working through the unit. This is followed
by the main body of the unit, which is divided into various sections and sub-sections. We end
each unit by summarizing its content.
In each unit, there are “Check Your Progress” exercises which are meant to help you to assess
your understanding of the subject. You must try attempting “Check Your Progress” exercises and
the answers are also given at the end of the unit. We have kept broad margins in these units on
sides for you to write your notes. We have also given some reference books in the end of unit
for you to further read and increase your knowledge about the subject.
Studying Practical Print Material
While going through the Practical Manual you will note that just like theory, there are blocks and
practical units in practical course. Rest of the pattern for the Practical print material has been prepared
with the objective of providing you a guideline to study and practice these skills at your programme
study centre and when you do self study. They guide you how to do a specific procedure and
what are the skills involved.
As in theory similarly, in the practical print material also you will find the “Check Your Progress”
exercises and “Activities” which will help you to practice and find out how well you have developed
skills of first aid. In the practicals, you will be doing your supervised activities during practical contact
sessions with your academic counselor at Programme Study Centre. You should maintain record
of activities in Log-Book. Some of the activities are also to be done by self study at home/
neighbourhood and should be entered in the log book.
B) Using Audio-Video Material
In addition to the print material, audio and video programmes have been prepared. The audio-video
material is supplementary to the print material. The audio tapes and video cassettes are available
at your programme study centre/regional centre. Hence, we advise you to make use of these, as
they will help you to understand the subject matter in a better way. Also, note that Video programmes
are also transmitted by Doordarshan on National Network and Gyan Darshan which is our internet
relay channel.
Audio-video material will not be supplied individually to you but will be made available
at the Study Centres/Regional Centres.. You can watch these programmes during counseling
sessions. Students desirous of buying the audio-video tapes can procure them from Marketing
Unit, EMPC, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110068.
23
7.3 Academic Couseling for Theory
The Programme Study Centre will organize counseling sessions also called theory contact sessions
or academic counseling sessions .Hence, as a student, you can take help from the counselors
in the study centre. The Academic Counselors are your teachers who will provide academic
counseling for theory and demonstrate practical skills to you. The counseling sessions are not
meant to be classroom lectures. You must study the printed course material before coming for
counseling. Whatever problems you have, you must consult your Academic Counselor for
clarifications and help.
The counselor will also organize sessions where you can view audio-video programmes. These
programmes often supplement your course material. Exact dates of counseling sessions will be
announced by the Study Centres concerned.
During the theory counseling session, you will have the opportunity to interact with your fellow students
with whom you will practice and form groups to do activities. The counselor will also evaluate your
Assignments.
The detailed programme of the theory contact or counseling session will be sent to you
by the Programme Incharge of the Study Centre concerned. In these sessions, you will get
an opportunity to discuss your problems/learning related to the programme and courses with
the counselors.
7.4 Practical Contact Sessions
The practical components of this programme have been designed to build your skills in first aid.
Your practice of self activities given in practicals and log book and also the practice of supervised
activities performed along with your fellow students in the PSC is important and must be attempted
and attended. You are required to do supervised activities under supervision of the Academic Counselor
and Self activities are done independently or along with friends or group without anybody’s supervision
.After completion of the Log-Book,you must get it checked from your Academic Counselor atleast
one month before the final practical examination.
You should bear in mind that every practical is evaluated and needs to be recorded in log-book
with weightage of 50% and is included for the final evaluation. Therefore, you have to practice and
perform practicals in order to be able to secure the maximum marks. The Continuous evaluation
i.e. Log-Book will carry 50% and final practical examination will carry 50% weightage.
90% attendance for practical work in each course is compulsory for becoming
eligible to appear in the Final Practical Examination.
It is therefore important for you to practice and perform practicals in order to be able to secure
the maximum marks.
Your Academic Counselor or your teacher will be organizing your experience and will
supervise and guide you. He/She will check your log-book and your activities. The detailed
programme of the practical contact session will also be informed to you by Programme
Incharge of your Study Centre.
7.5 Teleconferencing
It is a two way audio and one way video system where you can see teacher/ experts over
24
television screen & interact with them by telephone/e-mail. IGNOU teleconference is conducted
for every programme of the University from February to May for January session and August
to November for July session.
This is linked with both the theory and practical courses and is held once in a month. We
advise you to attend these sessions regularly at your Regional Centre. The schedule can be
obtained from your Regional Centre and Programme Study Centres. It is also uploaded on IGNOU
website. This would give you opportunity to interact with students/experts all over the country.
8. EVALUATION
The system of evaluation in IGNOU is also different from that of conventional universities.
Broadly, IGNOU has a three-tier system of evaluation:
A. Self-assessment exercises within each unit of study.
B. Continuous evaluation mainly through assignments which are either tutor-marked or computer-
marked and practical assignments.
C. The Term-End Examinations for theory and practical and/or project work.
The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A learner
has to write assignment responses compulsorily before taking term-end examination from time to
time to complete an academic programme. IGNOU uses two types of assignments: tutor-marked
assignments (TMA) and computer-marked assignment (CMA). In some courses, both TMAs and
CMAs are used and some courses have only TMAs. In this course we have tutor marked assignment
(TMA) only. Evaluation of assignments is called continuous evaluation. A learner has to send or
submit tutor marked assignment (TMAs) responses to the concerned Programme Incharge
or Academic Counselor of the Study Centre to which s/he is attached. A learner should
keep duplicate copies of his/her Assignment Reponses that may be required to be produced
at SR&E Division on demand.
For this programme the following evaluation system is followed:
Theory
For theory course, the evaluation consists of two aspects:
i) Continuous Evaluation through assignments, and
ii) Term-End Examination.
In the final results all the assignments carry 30 per cent weightage while 70 per cent weightage
is given for term-end examination. You need to score 50 per cent marks in assignment separately
and 50 per cent marks in the term-end examination to pass and be declared successful.
26
Practical
For practical course, the evaluation consists of two aspects:
i) Continuous evaluation through Log-Book, and
ii) Final practical examination.
In the final result, continuous evaluation through Log-Book will carry 50 per cent weightage
and final practical examination will carry 50 per cent weightage. You need to score 50 per
cent marks in log book and practical examination separately to pass and be declared successful.
You have to complete and submit all the assignments compulsorily. You will not
be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for the course if you do not
submit the specified number of assignments in time for theory course.
The assignments will be uploaded on IGNOU website (ignou.ac.in). If a student does not
successfully complete the assignments, s/he may redo the assignment as per university
ordinance. Always keep photocopy of your assignment responses.
Guidelines for Submission of Assignments
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should ensure
that you have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you
poor marks.
You must submit your assignments according to the schedule indicated in the assignment
itself. In case there is any delay in receipt of assignments and study material and/or schedule for
submission of assignments has not been indicated, you should submit your assignment responses
within one month of the date of receipt of material together with a documentary evidence
of your having received the material late.
The Programme Incharge at the Programme Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments
received after the due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due
date.
For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit at the
Programme Study Centre. If you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments
27
within a month after submission, please try to get it from your Study Centre personally. This
may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an account of all these corrected
assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent your
case to the University in case any problem arises.
In case you are unable to submit the assignments or unable to score minimum
qualifying pass grade i.e. 50%, you have to wait for the assignments meant for
the next batch of students and submit them.
Once you get the pass grade in an assignment, you cannot resubmit it for improvement of grade.
Assignments are not subject to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any. The discrepancy
noticed by you in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Programme
Incharge of the Programme Study Centre so that the correct score is forwarded by him/her to
SED at the Headquarters.
Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification, if any, along with the assignment. Send you
doubts in a separate cover to the Deputy Registrar, SR&E Division, Indira Gandhi National
Open University, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi - 110068. When doing so give your complete
enrolment no., name, address, title of the course, and number and name of the assignment etc.,
on top of your letter.
Specific Instructions for Tutor Marked Assignments (TMAs)
1) Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date on the top right
hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.
2) Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Course Title, Assignment Code and Name of your
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:
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. While answering an essay type question give adequate attention to 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 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 numericals, use proper format and give working
notes wherever necessary.
28
5) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using
very thin 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. Typed assignments are also acceptable. 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 for each course separately. All the assignments 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
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.
B) Continuous Evaluation for Practicals/Log-Book
Log-Book is meant to maintain record of all activities that you are practicing and performing as
a part of programme. The Log-Book should be carried by you when you attend training/academic
counseling and practical sessions at the Programme Study Centre. The supervised activites practiced
at the programme study centre must be entered in the log-book and also you need to record all
the self activities that you do your self or along with your friends/in group. The log-book has to
be evaluated by your Academic Counsellor as it has 50% weight age in the final result. You should
carry this log-book when you go for final practical examination also.
8.3 Term-End Examination (TEE)
A) Theory
As stated earlier, term-end examination is another component of the evaluation system. Term-end
examination carries 70% weightage in the final result for Theory Course.
If you are unable to complete during the first attempt, you can subsequently take it in December
and June Term-End Examination.
B) Practical
Final Examination for practicals carries 50% weightage in the final result.
Modalities for Conducting a Final Practical Examination
i) The final practical examination will be conducted at the centre where you had your practical
contact session.
ii) The practical examination will be conducted before the theory examination (atleast one mouth
before).
iii) A panel of examiners comprising an external examiner (subject expert) and internal examiner
will be appointed for conducting the practical examination.
iv) The programme incharge of the programme study centre will compile the marks of self and
supervised activities and the practical examination, and send it to the Student Evaluation
29
Division, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, Delhi-68..
Important information about Term End Examination
