New Announcement

16 November, 2017

Dear participants/ learners of Soft Skills course

Let me first thank you all for joining this course entitled Soft Skills. Since the time has come to say a good bye, I feel it right to share with you all certain things. 

Soft Skills, as you might have learnt comprises various skills and as they are life skills, you should continue to learn it throughout your lives. It’s rather difficult to master everything simply by attending a course in a few months. My endeavour throughout my online lectures and assignments has been to generate in you a consciousness, a desire to learn from everyone and everywhere. Behavioural skills as they are, they need to be observed and implemented in your lives and spheres. 

At this time while I am writing this farewell message for you, perhaps your results might have been published and as always, many of you might have mixed feelings and reactions since everyone’s score may not and cannot be the same. No two people and their behaviours are alike. It’s time you reassessed your knowledge --- your language, your presentation, responses, reactions which may all help you introspect for further challenges.


I thank all of you for your co-operation without which the course could not have been a success. But before I bid you farewell, let me remind you of what a famous poet Robert Frost had said:
 

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.


The implication, dear friends is that life is very beautiful. Life attracts people but we do not have the time to rest. One must always remember that we have many responsibilities to perform before we rest or disappear from this physical world. Hence, dear friends, continue to fulfil your responsibilities before you rest. Hope you will keep this message in mind and proceed further to continue the sojourn of your lives.

Thanking you all


Yours sincerely


Binod Mishra

Solution for Assignment 10 and 11

Hello Learners, Solution key has been released for Assignment 10 and 11. Now you can check the correct answers. Thank You


Regarding Subjective Assignment

Hello folks,
We have evaluated subjective assignment 6 and partly assignment 8. You are requested to keep patience because we have received more than 3000 files and it's a huge task evaluating all these and eventually it will take time. I want to tell you something that we have come across when evaluating  answer scripts.
1. Few people do not upload the right files they simply upload a random file on any topic. 
2. Some people upload week's 6 assignment file again on week 8's assignment.(getting zero marks)
3. some people only upload their personal photo( please don't do that again, it's the age of cyber crime)
4. Participants upload mostly plagiarized materials only coping and pasting it from google. (it's not desirable)
5. It seems to be kind of group activity because we can see similar files being uploaded every times.

This is observation. And we just want to share this with you. Thank you. Keep Uploading.
