BMS SEM V(2008) Disscussion

[ankitgokani]

Hi Mates the exam is about to get over and just one paper to go as i know the bms students most of them would be chilling today.
So while Chilling y not share ur experience about the exam so far and what advice u would like t give to future students and wat mistakes u wont make in next sem.
What u think about our way to help students anyways u think we can better ourselves. Suggestion are always welcomed. So start chilling in this section and start discussing. LEts see who starts first !!!!

My personal opinion is dat case study is the most important section of the paper.The concept question can be studied and written easily.Even the long answers when written more than 4 sides of paper would easily fetch u 7-8 marks.And these questions are mostly repetitive.A good reference of the past papers n recent trends wud enable u 2 know wat 2 expect for concept testing n long answers.However, the difference between a 'fairly good' paper and a 'very good paper' is the quality and the length of ur case study answers.So,my advice wud be not 2 sacrifice the length of the case study answers 4 the sake of completing the long answers.Write n present a complete analysis my giving the case facts n SWOT wherever possible.

A case study analysis with the answers must be ideally 10-12 sides minimum to expect around 15 or more out of 20.so,even though u compromise on the length of the long answers n complete abt 4 sides instead of 5,u wud still lose out only a mark or 2.The 2-3 mks lost in the long answers wud b more than made up with a good case study answer which is the diferrential factor as every long answers wud b more or less the same n every1's marked almost equally on length.

Thus,in my view,NOT ignoring the case study wud fetch u more mks in the exam.

I dont think so dude. You got to be kidding.! It is practically impossible to write 10-12 pages on case studies. I would give more emphasis on the quality and would rather make the answer paper more presentable by underlining the key points.

Hey,i said 10-12 'sides' 4 the case study,not 'pages',which is very much possible...coz i know i did so...highlighting the main points n examples is a must...thank 4 dat,i failed 2 mention dat....but seriously,in the end,under the current purview of the way r papers r checked,nobody's gonna read ur entire answer.....ur underlined matter n the length of ur answer is gonna decide the marks...dats the unfortunate reality.....quantity is the priority 4 most examiners(dats the gr8est flaw of r education system,but v cant do much abt it)....hey,wen i say 10-12 sides on case study,u got 2 b smart 2 fill pages....u can begin with the case facts,a summary n a SWOT analysis as a preview b4 u start ur actual answers....dis doesn't take much time n u can easily fill abt 4 sides with some smart spacing....moreover u just hv 2 copy down similar stuffs.Then u can start with ur actual answers which u wud anyways write 4 another 6 sides or more....summary,SWOT n case facts r not marked but it creates a good impression n u'll fetch more mks 4 ur answers.

The art is presenting ur answers as 'long' using various techniques - (line spacing,margin spacing,handwriting,etc.) is always beneficial.
