    Dear Learner,

    As we have informed you in the Programme Guide, evaluation at IGNOU consists of two
    parts: i) continuous evaluation through assignments, and ii) term-end examination. In the
    final result, assignments of a Course will carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given
    for term-end examination (total 100 marks).

    You will have to do the following Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) for BPCG 172 (6
    credits).

    Assignment One has Descriptive Category Questions (DCQs). These are meant for writing
    essay type answers, with an introduction and a conclusion. These are intended to test your
    ability to describe your understanding/knowledge about the topic in a systematic, to-the-point
    and coherent manner.
    Assignment Two has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you to
    first analyse the topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers in a
    concise manner. They are meant to test your ability to distinguish, compare and contrast, or
    clear understanding of the concepts and processes.
    Assignment Three has Short Category Questions (SCQs). These questions are meant to
    improve your skill of recall in brief the relevant/precise information about persons, writing,
    events, or clear understanding of concepts and processes.

    Before you attempt the assignments, please read the instructions carefully provided in
    the Programme Guide. It is important that you write the answers to all the TMA questions
    in your own words. Your answers should be according to the word-limit set for a particular
    section. Remember, writing answers to assignment questions will improve your writing skill
    and sharpen your understanding of the concepts. It will also help you prepare for the term-end
    examination.

    Submission

    Session Last Date of To be Sent


    Submission*
    For July 2023 30th April 2024
    To
    For January 2024 31st October, 2024
    The Coordinator of the Study
    Centre allotted to you
    (Please check the dates
    from www.ignou.ac.in)
    * You need to submit the assignments within the stipulated time for being eligible to appear
    in the term-end examination.

    Please obtain a receipt from the study centre for the assignments submitted and retain it. Also
    keep a photocopy of the assignments with you. The Study Centre will return the assignments
    to you after they are evaluated. The completed assignment should be sent only to the
    Coordinator of the Study Centre allotted to you.

    Following instructions are to be carefully followed before writing the assignments:


    1. 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: Read the study material carefully, analyze it, and then prepare 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. Write each answer neatly with proper spacing, and
    underline the points you wish to emphasize. Make sure that the answer is around the
    suggested word limit.
    2. Use A4 size ruled paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Allow a four
    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.
    3. Answers should be in your own handwriting. Do not print or type the answers. Do not copy
    your answers from the study material sent to you by the University or from other
    learners. If you copy, you will get zero marks for the respective question.
    4. You need to attach a copy of the TMA with the completed assignment before
    submitting it.
    5. 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.
    6. 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 center
    for correction and transmission of correct score to headquarters.

    Wish you all the best!
