Speaking onthe occasion, Dr. Shetty emphasized the importance andrelevance of the cardiology programme in the country. We,in India, have only 60-70 cardiologists trained every year,whereas the demand is for 4,000 to 5,000, he noted. Hence,properly equipped coronary units with cardiologists arerequired to reach a wider cross- section of society.

9th Annual Prof. G. Ram ReddyMemorial LectureDr. G. Madhavan Nair, Chairman, Indian Space ResearchOrganization (ISRO) and Secretary, Deptt. of Space, Govt.of India delivered the Ninth Annual Prof. G. Ram ReddyMemorial Lecture on “Development of Space Programmeand its Impact on Education” at IGNOU on 2nd July 2004.He announced that through EDUSAT, the educationalsatellite, all major Indian universities, IITs and medicalcolleges will be provided with multimedia, multicastingfacilities through which teaching by experts can be madeaccessible to the needy, in any part of the country, in realtime or offline basis. Edusat (GSAT-3), the first satellite ofthe Education Satellite System, will be launched by thethird flight of the indigenous launch vehicle GSLV in thesecond half of 2004, he said. The satellite is speciallyconfigured to have multiple beams covering different regionsof India and is expected to meet substantially the educationalrequirements of different parts of the country.

Dr. Nair added that the scarcity of qualified science teacherscan be overcome by beaming the lectures and transmittingthe notes on the tele-link to far-flung schools. Experimentsfrom science labs also could be transmitted through thismedia. The tele-education terminal at remote areas cantransform into adult literacy classes as well as imparttraining to farmers and artisans for improving theirknowledge base and skills. This will also enable interlinkingof database and libraries and effective dissemination ofinformation, he concluded.

How to approach your studies: It would be good for you to go throughthe Programme Guides as well as the Handbooks provided by theUniversity. This will help you to know about the facilities being extendedand how you can make best use of these in your learning. That is, youshould have an idea of what to expect from the system and how best to usethe support being provided.

Quasi-permanent separation: To bridge your semi-permanent separationfrom your teacher and to enable you to take advantage of the flexibilitiesprovided in the DDL system, provision for Face-to-Face interaction hasbeen made. Moreover, you can contact your teachers at the Headquartersthrough phone and email. However, the onus for your learning is on you.You must make full use of the flexibility, facilities and innovativeness.

Adhere to schedule of operations: Various activities in ODL system aretime bound and the details are given in the programme guides and thehandbooks sent to you. Adherence to Schedule of Operations shall help youenormously in completion of the courses. As a thumb rule, if you studythree hours a day regularly, you should be successful in the minimumstipulated time.

Studying at your pace and place: You can learn at your pace and place,but it would help you if you periodically revise what you have learnt. Thiswould also enable you to assess as to how much remains to be done. TheDE system provides for an in-built teacher in the Self Instructional Materials(SIMs). Your pace of learning could be faster and more effective if youabide by the instructions given to you in the SIMs and follow the sequenceand steps suggested therein, as the objective of these access devices is toregulate your pace of learning.

Taking notes: In SIMs, some space has been provided to take importantnotes. You must answer/solve problems in SAQs or TQs yourself ratherthan looking for the solutions at the end of the units.

Using media effectively: Audio-visual learning is faster and can be moreeffective. That is why multi-media is one of the integral components of ourmultiple media instructional package. For complementing your learning withthe help of multi-media effectively, you should visit your study centre forcounselling and insist that your counselor show A/V programmes. Suchvisits will also help you obtain the latest information on broadcast andtelecast of programmes and tele-conferences being held. Now IGNOU has a24 hr TV Channel called Gyan Darshan and a countrywide network of FMradio stations. You should ask your cable operators to beam Gyan Darshan.(In case it is not possible for you to visit your SCs for some reason, you canprocure our cassettes/CDs from the University for convenient viewing.)

Preparing Assignment Responses: The separation between the teacherand the taught in ODL system is bridged through dialogue established bycontinuous assessment. Your assignment responses provide an opportunityto your counsellor to guide you and pace your learning depending on yourprogress. Therefore, you must write your assignment yourself, in your ownwords, depending on the scope of every question. In some questions, youmight be required to give a brief outline while in others you may be askedto give your justifications/demonstrate your skills and knowledge/givedetailed description, etc. It is also possible that you may be required to referto a particular source of information or data and present your analysis. Ifpossible, discuss implications and suggest application and/or give illustrations.

When you have answered the assignments, pause for a while and recheckyour responses to make sure that:

• the language is your own, simple and comprehensible;

HOW TO STUDY• it covers all the relevant aspects and with expected details;• the content is accurate and relevant;• the presentation is logical and clear;• the main points are well supported by examples/arguments/illustrations;

and• the response has been neatly typed or legibly written.

You must keep copies of each of your assignments and file them in order,separately for each course. While submitting your assignment at your StudyCentre / Programme Centre, you must insist on obtaining anacknowledgement. In case you send your assignment by post, keep theregistration slip as proof. In case of any difficulty or unconvincing responseat Study Centre, please contact your Regional Centre or the Headquarters.Normally, you should get back your Tutor Marked Assignment within 45days. In case you do not receive your evaluated TMAs with tutor commentsin the stimulated period, you should check with the Study Centre Coordinator.Once you receive the evaluated assignment responses, go through tutorcomments.. A careful reading of the comments should give you an idea asto how you can improve your responses in future.

Learning from Counselling and Peer Group: In order to make best useof the counselling sessions, you should read the relevant units before goingfor the counselling session. This will enable you to have useful interactionwith your counsellor and peer group. Participate in the discussion with anopen mind. Take note of important points identified by other peer groupmembers and the counselor. Do not hesitate to clarify doubts, even if theyare trivial.

Taking the Term-end Examination: In our system of education, careerprospects are influenced by the performance in examinations. So youshould approach examinations with some caution. However, these shouldnot cause anxiety.

Preparing for the Examinations: The surest way to success in examinationis to conscientiously employ effective study techniques over a period oftime. For example, if you follow the tips provided here your chances ofsuccess will improve. If you follow them, you will certainly remembermore, have a better understanding, and be able to organize your ideasquickly and effectively.

Revision of text materials plays a vital role in your preparation forexaminations. The two good reasons for doing regular revisions right fromthe start are:• You may not have enough time to revise everything you have studied

in a course/programme at the last minute.• You will find the later materials easier to study as you may have

already had a firm understanding of what precedes them.

On the Examination Day: When you receive the question paper:• Read the instructions and the question paper right through very

carefully paying attention to each question.• Be objective and don’t try to twist the question to suit your convenience.• Be sure of precisely what the questions demand of you. (Look at the

key verbs. They will tell you what kind of answer you are expectedto give).

• Budget your time i.e. you should carefully allocate your time accordingto the weightage given to each question.

• Plan your answer (if possible even before you actually present it, tryto have a logical well organized skeleton outline).

• Form a sense of priority i.e. you should begin by answering your bestquestion first.
