IIT Goa Semester Exams 2021: Students asked to frame questions and answer them
As per the instructions given on the paper, the students were told to prepare questions of 60 marks from the lecture materials which was provided to them in the entire semester and then answer the questions that they prepared.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Goa has started its end-semester examinations and amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the institute has come up with a very unique way to evaluate its students.
According to the ‘Analog Circuits’ question paper, which has taken the internet by storm, the IIT Goa faculty asked students to prepare the questions for themselves and then answer the same. As per the instructions given on the paper, the students were told to prepare questions of 60 marks from the lecture materials which was provided to them in the entire semester and then answer the questions that they prepared.
As the students will be setting up their own papers, the IIT Goa lecturers believe that setting a question will require a complete understanding of the course and its content. If the student has not gone through the course properly, they won’t be able to prepare any question, leave alone answer it and to add more that, professors can even detect plagiarism if the students go for the same questions.
The “interesting” examination will not just test the caliber of the student but will also test their integrity. The 70 mark paper said that the questions that the students prepare should reflect their understanding of the course. It also asked them to avoid discussing with friends as similarities may reduce their score.
An image of the end-semester exam paper is taking rounds on social media platforms and the netizens have lauded the “outstanding” way. They noted that setting a question will require a complete understanding of the course and its content. They also added that if the student has not gone through the course, he/she won’t be able to prepare any question, leave alone answer it.
