Semiconductor Optoelectronics - Self-assessment Released

The self-assessment quiz has been released and it can be accessed in the portal, named as "Assessment 0" under the unit "Self-assessment before course start". It can also be accessed from the following url:

https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc19_ph07/unit?unit=5&assessment=78

The aim of this self-assessment is to test your current level of knowledge before the course begins. At the end of the quiz, you can use the "Check Answers" button to get your score. If you score 50% or more, you have the sufficient background knowledge to take the course. If your score is less than 50%, you may have difficulty in keeping up with the course and will need to put extra efforts in order to successfully finish it (especially if you score less than 25% marks).

We would request you to also submit the quiz by clicking "Submit" below the "Check Answers" button (without changing your answers please!) so that we can have a demographic of the learners' level before the course starts.

NOTE: This assessment is only for self-evaluation purposes and the marks obtained in this assessment will NOT be counted towards your final score. You are most welcome to ask in the Forum ("Ask a Question" section) if you have any doubts or require clarifications regarding anything in the course.
