Assignment Marks

Dear Candidates


There have been reports from many of you that you have received less marks in your Assignments even after submitting the correct answers. We have checked at the back end and it appears that extra space or using symbols have led to the problem. As you had been informed in one of my earlier posts in the Forum, and also with every question hint, the system accepts only the exact match. So if you have typed "Culture & Society" instead of "Culture and Society", the system has marked the answer incorrect. Currently the system does not allow for any changes after grades are generated. As such we have taken the following steps to mitigate the problem:

1. Steps are underway for any possibility to re-assess individual scores, so that answers which have been marked incorrect due to problems like extra space, use of symbol etc. can be altered to correct.  However, as the entire process is system generated and auto-graded, this entails dealing with many variables. We are trying our best at our end and will update you soon.

2. As you are aware, the 6 best assignments are chosen for evaluation and 25% from those are included in the final grade. As the problem occurred in the assignments of the first three weeks, we have decided to increase the number of assignments to give you a fair chance. So Week 5-8 will have 2 assignments each in MCQ format. Every week, one assignment will be based on the lectures of the current week, and the other one will be a combo quiz from all the previous lectures. This will aid you in your final examination as you will have gained practice and familiarity with the topics, theorists and concepts by then. I hope this solution is amenable to all.

3. All further assignments and the final examination will employ Multiple-Choice type questions to prevent further problems. 

Please let us know about any other problems/queries that you may have. We will look into them.

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Jyoti Mishra
