MDVP-117 PROJECT WORK

Project Handbook

3.0 INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM

The instructunal system of IGNOU is more leaner-oriented and learner-centred. In this system,
the learner is an active participant in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction is
imparted through distance modes of communication rather than face-to-face modes of communication.
The University follows a multiple-media approach for instruction. So, the instructional system of
MADVS also follows multiple-media approach i.e. self-instructional print material, audio-video
programmes, assignments, face-to-face counseling sessions / contact sessions, optional project
work, teleconferencing and interactive radio counselling, among others.
3.1 Self-instructional Print Material
The print material is written in self-instructional style. It is in the form of blocks (booklets) specially
prepared for theory courses and project work of the programme. Each course has a specific
code number assigned to it. They are supplied to each learner. The learner has to complete
the required assignments related to each course. The contents under each course are divided
into blocks and each block is further divided into units. The printed material for project work
is available in the form one booklet with all guidelines.
3.2 Audio-video Programmes
The learning package also contains audio-video programmes which are produced by the University
for clarification, supplementing and enhancement of understanding of the course material given
to the student. These programmes are normally of 25-30 minutes duration. These are used at
the Study Centres during counseling sessions which are duly scheduled and notified by the
Programme In-charge/Co-ordinator of Study Centre for the benefit of the students. The video
programmes are also telecast on Gyan Darshan. Similarly, the audio programmes are also
broadcast by Gyan Vani radio channels. Learners can contact Study Centres for further
information.
3.3 Assignments
Assignments are an integral and compulsory component of the instructional system. There is one
tutor-marked assignment for each theory course. Students will have to work on these assignments.
Each student should submit the assignment responses to the Coordinator of the Study Centre
in accordance with the given assignments’ submission schedule. Assignments are to be
downloaded from IGNOU website (www.ignou.ac.in) at student’s zone.
3.4 Counseling Sessions
Upto six counseling sessions per theory course and one counselling session for project are held
at the Study Centres as per the schedule drawn and notified by the Coordinator/Programme
In-charge of the concerned Centre. They are mostly held on weekends (i.e. Saturdays and
Sundays) as per the convenience of the host institution where the Study Centre is located.
However, if the number of students for the programme at a programme study centre falls below

16
10 (ten), then the counseling and support services may be handled by a Distance Learning
Facilitator or the programme coordinator or the faculty of the School concerned or through an
appropriate alternative arrangement. University issue guidelines on counselleing sessions from time
to time which are to be adhered by the study centres.
3.5 Teleconferencing
Teleconferencing sessions are conducted via satellite through interactive Gyan Darshan Channel
from the University studios as per the schedule made available to the Regional and Study Centres.
Teleconferencing is an effective means of interaction between the learners, experts and others
concerned with the programme. It provides an interesting opportunity to the students to interact
with the faculty members at the headquarters, and other experts/eminent scholars in the field.
The learners will have to go to the nearest reception centre at the scheduled time for taking
the benefit of this facility.
3.6 Interactive Radio Counseling / Internet Audio Counseling
Interactive Radio Counseling is a recent concept in distance learning in India. Live counseling
is provided on radio by invited experts for an hour from different Gyanvani radio stations in
the country. Students can ask questions right from their homes through telephone by availing
the facility of toll free telephone number 1600112345 provided for this purpose from selected
cities.
Gyan Dhara is an internet audio counseling service offered by IGNOU. Students can listen to
the live discussions by the teachers and experts in the field on the topic of the day and interact
with them through telephone (Toll Free No. 1800112347; 011-29533103), Email
gyandhara@ignou.ac.in and chat mode. By installing Puffin browser, students can access Gyandhara
through mobile devises.
3.7 Project Work
The project work MDVP-117 is an elective course with 12 credits and equivalent to 2 courses
in the second year. The hand book on Project Work provides self-orientation and self-training
to the students for doing the project work. All the project proposals along with filled in

6.0 EVALUATION
Theory Courses: For theory courses, evaluation comprises three aspects:
a) Self-evaluation check your progress exercises (non-credit) within each unit of study material.
b) Continuous evaluation in the form of one compulsory assignment for each course with a
weightage of 30%.
c) Term-End Examination for each course with a weightage of 70%.
In order to successfully complete a theory course, the student must obtain at least ‘40%’ in
the assignment and ‘40%’ in the Term-End Examination (TEE) separately in each course.
Project Work (Elective): The evaluation report of Project Work will carry 100% weightage.
In order to successfully complete the project work, the student must obtain at least ‘40%’.
The grading system depending on the percentage of marks secured by the candidates in TEE
and evaluation report for Project Work will be as follows.
Letter Qualitative Grade Average Grade Percentage
Grade Level Points Point Range Equivalent
A Excellent 5 4.50 & above 80% and above
B Very Good 4 3.50 to 4.49 60% to 79.9%
C Good 3 2.50 to 3.49 50% to 59.9%
D Satisfactory 2 1.50 to 2.49 40% to 49.9%
E Unsatisfactory 1 1.49 & below Below 40%

7.0 ASSIGNMENTS
The purpose of our asking you to work on the assignments is to provide you an opportunity
of articulating your assimilated knowledge and understanding into written form and also to test
your capacity of transferring the theoretical learning from the courses to practical situations. Thus,
the assignments practically enhance your understanding as well as skills of articulation and
expression in writing. There is one assignment for each theory course. The answers to assignment
questions are to be based on your own judgement and experiences as a student. You should
not reproduce the text materials or copy the information from other sources. However, you may
use the course material and any other sources of information you have for ready reference. But,

20
the answer should be in your own words and should reflect your own ideas. Please note that
your assignment responses carry 30% weightage towards the final evaluation of each theory course.
If you do not complete the assignments according to time schedule of assignments of the relevant
academic session, then you have to attempt the assignment questions of the next session and
submit the assignment responses according to the schedule of that session. You have to send
the assignment-responses to the Study Centre you are attached to as per schedule. The instructions
given in the assignments should be kept in mind while you prepare and submit the assignment
responses.

8.0 TERM-END EXAMINATION (TEE)

The TEE is another component of the evaluation system with 70% weightage for each theory
course. The University conducts term-end examination (TEE) twice a year i.e. in June and in
December of every year. Please see the details of operational schedule given under secton
5 to appear for TEE under each cycle. In case you fail to get a pass score (less than 40%)
in the TEE, you will be eligible to re-appear in the next TEE for that course, till the final span
of the programme i. e. prior to completion by you of the maximum duration of five years from
the date of your admission / registration to the programme.
Examination date-sheets (schedule which indicate the date and time of examination for each course)
are notified through the IGNOU website.
