EDUCATION BLOG

Writing is a crucial step without which the process of study is incomplete. It is more so in distance education. But unfortunately IGNOU students do not complete their assignments on their own. To say so, I have a reason. Go to Google and type IGNOU assignments, you will find many sites claim to offer solved assignments to students.

Why is there huge population of sites offering solutions of the coursework? Answer goes to incapability of student to complete the assignments on their own. Inability of students to complete work on their own shows a poor attitude toward life. Students are keen on doing efforts to find the material on line, or through friends, but can’t do hard work to solve the questions on their own. It’s like forcing your energy towards negative direction rather than on positive path. Hence this results in poor preparation for their term-end exams.

Maximum students depend on others for their assignments. This may not benefit student’s characteristics in the long run. As IGNOU is correspondence education, students are expected to be independent learner, develop positive attitude, setting goals and most importantly managing their own time.

According to IGNOU handbook, submission of assignment-responses in distance education system is made compulsory, more often than not, to serve two purposes. They are:

·        to initiate academic communication between the teacher/institution and the student and thereby establish a useful dialogue between them, and

·        to be used for continuous evaluation.

So it would be very helpful for students, if they would complete their assignments independently. This will also help them in preparing for their Term-end exams, as assignments give an opportunity to revise what you have learnt about the courses till now.
