Assignments
The main purpose of assignments is to test student's comprehension of the learning materials they receive from the University and also to help them better comprehend the courses by providing feedback to them.
The information given in the printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. The students should not worry about the non-availability of extra reading material for working on the assignments. However, if they have easy access to other books, they may make use of them.
But the Assignments are designed in such a way as to help them concentrate mainly on the printed course material and exploit their personal experience. The students are arquired to submit their assignments to the co-ordinator of their study centre.
