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

iii. 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.
8. Write the question number with each answer.
9. After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre / Programme Study

Centre get
the acknowledgement from the Coordinator / Programme In-charge.
10. 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.
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.
Please ensure the following before submitting your assignment:
1. Your enrolment number, name and address have been written correctly.
2. The title of the course and assignment number has been written clearly.
