Sample PSPC Quiz to make yourself familiarize with Google Forms Environment

As part of CTA activity for PSPC theory course, I shall be conducting online quizzes. To conduct the quizzes, I will be making use of Google Forms, which provides facility to create, share and take the quiz easily and efficiently.

As many of you may not be familiar with the usage of Google Forms for taking quizzes, I have created a sample quiz. This quiz will be always active. The link for the online sample quiz is given below:

Following things should be kept in mind while taking the quiz:

• Use the above link to take the quiz any number of times. However, for the actual quizzes that are part of CTA activity, you will be allowed to take the quiz only once (in a stipulated time slot). 
• Before attempting the quiz, you need to enter your email ID. Preferably enter the gmail ID (get the gmail ID created if you don't have your gmail ID).
• Real quiz requires you to sign in to your gmail account first and then continue with the quiz.
• Make yourself familiarize with the quiz environment.
• Fill in the Personal Information (all fields in this section are mandatory) and attempt all the quiz questions.
• After attempting all the questions from the quiz, click on "Submit" button (this button will be available at the end of the quiz).
• After successfully submitting the quiz, you will get a message "Thank you for taking the sample quiz. Your answers have been recorded". This message confirms that your answers are successfully recorded.
• Your answers will be saved only if you click on Submit button. 
• Forgetting to click on Submit button will lead to your answers not getting recorded at my end.

I sincerely hope that you will use this sample quiz to make yourself fully familiarize with Google Forms environment!!!

Guidelines for writing answers in Internal Assessment Booklet

Please follow the below guidelines for writing answers in IA Booklet during your Internal Assessments:

1. Write your USN, Name, Course Code, Course Code, Roll No and Division in the front page of IA Booklet without fail. Also write the Room No. of the room in which you are writing the IA on top right part of the front page of the IA Booklet.
2. Write the Question No. clearly on the margin of the answer booklet while writing the answers to the questions. If question numbers are missing, then such answers may not be evaluated.
3. Read the question paper carefully before writing the answers, and write the answers to the questions based on its merits, i.e., write the answers depending on the marks allotted for the question.
4. If theory question is asked, write the answers in point-wise fashion, each point not exceeding three lines. You can underline important keywords in the answer with pencil/pen.
5. Do not use correction pens (whitener) for striking the wrong answers.
6. Draw neat block diagrams wherever necessary with PENCIL only.
7. Wherever required, tabulate the data.
8. If C programs are asked, then write well indented complete C program. You need not write the output of the program.
9. If flow charts are asked, then draw flow chart symbols with PENCIL only. If flow charts are not drawn neat, then you might loose marks, i.e., neatness carries some marks for flow chart answers.
10. If algorithms are asked, then indicate each step of the algorithm with Step Number (eg: Step-1, Step-2, etc). Algorithms without step numbers will not be evaluated.

I hope you will follow the above guidelines during the Internal Assessments. 
I wish you all the best for your internals!!!
