Positive Psychology: Regarding Final exam result!!

Dear Candidate

Congratulations to the students who have passed, and to those who have got Silver and Elite certificates. It was a wonderful experience checking the papers of some of the students who wrote really comprehensive answers. It was clear that such students had seen the lectures, were interested, and had invested time and effort in learning.

Our observation while checking the answers of the final exam: Students either did extremely well, or fared very poorly. we came across a lot of irrelevant responses which had no connection to the course whatsoever. For all the questions asked in the final exam, only length (no. of words) was not our criteria for evaluation. Those who wrote correct answers were marked appropriately. It was the relevance of the response that was taken into consideration, and not the length. Hence, some students had written short answers but were given more marks than students who had written really long but irrelevant responses.

 Our best wishes to all the students.

Thanks & Best Wishes,
Course Instructor and Team
