Introduction to Photonics: About the Exam

Dear students:
We have seen the feedback given in the forum of this course about the exam being too difficult and questions not being from the various topics.

a. All assignments had a mix of MCQ and also Fill in the blanks type of questions where problems had to be worked out and numeric answers entered.
b. Detailed solutions have been given for each assignment too.
c. Videos were as taught by the faculty in his course to the students at IITM and hence all concepts were covered.

If you had watched all the videos and worked out the problems or learnt to work it out from the solutions shared, the end exam should have been doable and passing should not be a problem.

A feedback from a sincere learner in the course on the forum: 
I have been following this course regularly and have consistently completed my assignments. I would like to mention few points about the FINAL EXAM below:
  1. Pattern and the type of questions were the similar as mentioned in the LIVE SESSION- 4.
  2. Definitely the questions were within the SYLLABUS of this course. 
  3. Most of the questions were consistent with the Assignments. I mean that the standard of the questions in the exam and the assignments were same.
  4. Some question were directly from the assignments too. 
  5. It covered most of the topics in the course.
Genuinely, it was an Exam with GOOD STANDARD QUESTIONS . In my opinion, if my preparation was more consistent, i would have given a better performance.

Assignment 7 - Sample exam

Dear All,

Please note that the assignment released this week (# 7) is actually a sample exam paper covering the topics taught upto Week 5. It has been created such that it mimics the final exam that you will be writing for our course.

Kindly treat it as a real time-bound, closed book, individual (no discussion) exam and work it out after reviewing all the relevant topics.

Although some of you may not score highly for this assignment if it is done in exam mode, this will be a very good exercise that will prepare you well for the final exam. So, it is strongly encouraged that you treat it as a real exam.
