27

5.1 How to Study Self-Instructional Material?

While going through the syllabi of courses, you must have noted that each course has been divided into 2-5blocks for a 4 credit course. Each block has 2-5 units. These units of each block have a certain thematic unityand arranged in a related logical sequence to maintain the continuity of learning of the particular subject. Thecourse material will be provided for you in the form of well designed printed booklets/online access. Eachbooklet is a block containing units. The first page of each block indicates the numbers and titles of the unitscomprising the block. In the first block of each course, we start with the course introduction. This is followedby a brief introduction to the block.

Each unit has an introduction in which we tell you about the contents of the units. We outline a list of objectiveswhich we expect you to achieve working through this unit. This is followed by the main body of the unit, whichis divided into various sections and sub-sections. We end up each unit by summarizing its content to enableyou to recall the main points. In each unit, there are ‘‘Check Your Progress’’ which are meant to help you toassess your understanding of the subject. You must try attempting Check Your Progress.

5.2 Audio-Video MaterialIn addition to the print material, audio and video programmes are being prepared for each course. The audio-video material is supplementary to the print material.
