Dear Student,

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, assignments of a Course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-
end examination.

You will have to do three Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) for a six credit course and two
TMAs for a four credit course. This Assignment booklet has TMAs for the core course
BPAC- 102 – Administrative Thinkers, which is a six credit course. The booklet therefore
has three TMAs whose total marks add up to 100 and carry a weightage of 30 %.

Assignment A has Descriptive Category Questions (DCQs). 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 in a systematic, to-the-point
and coherent manner.

Assignment B has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you to first
analyse the topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers in a
concise manner. They are meant to test your ability to distinguish, compare and contrast, or
clear understanding of the concepts and processes.

Assignment C has Short Category Questions (SCQs). 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 carefully read the instructions provided in the
Programme Guide. It is important that you 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.

We expect you to answer each question as per guidelines for each category as mentioned in
the assignment. You will find it useful to keep the following points in mind:

1) Planning: Read the assignments carefully, go through the Units on which they are based.
Make some points regarding each question and then rearrange them in a logical order.

2) Organisation: Be a little selective and analytic before drawing up a rough outline of your
answer. Give adequate attention to your introduction and conclusion.

a) is logical and coherent;

b) has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs, and

c) is written correctly giving adequate consideration to your expression, style and
