Dear Learner,
As we have informed you in the Programme Guide, evaluation at IGNOU consists of two parts: i)
continuous evaluation through assignments and ii) term-end examination. In the final result, course
assignments carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-end examination.
You will have to do three sections of Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) for a six-credit course
BGDG 172: Gender Sensitization: Society and Culture. This Assignment booklet has TMAs for the
Generic Elective (GE) BGDG 172- Gender Sensitization: Society and Culture, a six-credit course.
Therefore, the booklet has three sections of TMAs whose total marks add up to 100 and carry a
weightage of 30 %.
Section A has Descriptive Category Questions (MCQs). These are meant for writing essay type
answers, with an introduction and a conclusion. These are intended to test your ability to describe
your understanding/knowledge about the topic systematically, to the point, and coherently.
Section B has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you first to analyse the
topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers concisely. They are meant
to test your ability to distinguish, compare and contrast, or clear understanding of the concepts and
processes.
Section C has Short Category Questions (MCQs). These questions are meant to improve your skill of
recall, in brief, the relevant/precise information about persons, writing, events, or clear understanding
of concepts and processes.
Before you attempt the assignments, please read the instructions carefully provided in the Programme
Guide. You must write the answers to all the TMA questions in your own words. Your answers should
be within the approximate range of the word limit set for a particular section. Remember, writing
answers to assignment questions will improve your writing skills and prepare you for the term-end
examination.
As mentioned in the Programme Guide, you need to submit all the assignments within the stipulated
time for being eligible to appear in the term-end examination.
