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. It asked students to prepare the questions for themselves from their entire syllabus and then answer those questions. Framing the questions itself will fetch the students 30 marks.
As the students will be setting up their own papers, the goa IIT 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. An image of the end-semester exam paper is taking rounds on social media platforms and the netizens have lauded the “outstanding” way.
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.
