Besides these,there is arrangement for teleconferences and contact sessions at programme study centre and skilldevelopment centre level as discussed below.

In IGNOU parlance, the study hours are measured in credit system. One credit is equivalent to 30learning hours. Each theory booklet is called a block, which consists of three to nine chapters calledunits. Usually each block represents one credit. The block on practical manual is meant for guidance in‘Hands on training’. Hence, the credit hours represented by it will be as mentioned against the respectivecourses in Section 2.2.

X.m Let Us Sum Up

X.n Answers to Check Your Progress

* ‘X’ stands for the serial number of the unit concerned.

As the scheme suggests, we have divided the units into sections for easy reading and better comprehension.Each section is indicated distinctly by bold capital letters and each sub-section by relatively smallerbut bold letters. The significant divisions within sub-sections are in still smaller but bold letters so as tomake it easier for you to see their place within sub-sections. For purposes of uniformity, we haveemployed the same scheme of divisions in every unit throughout the programme.

Please start reading from the very beginning of the block i.e. Block Introduction and then go through theunits. In each unit read the objectives, introduction and then the text. The objectives articulate briefly:

What we have presented in the unit, and

What we expect from you once you complete working on the unit.

The last section of each unit under the heading ‘Let Us Sum Up’ summarises the whole unit for purposesof recapitulation and ready reference. We have self-check exercises under the caption ‘Check Your

8

Progress’ at a few places in each unit. Do not skip these exercises. The answers to these exercises arementioned at the end of the unit.

What, perhaps, you would do is to go through the units and jot down important points as you read in thespace provided in the margin. Broad margins in the booklets are there for you to write your noteson. Make your notes as you work through the materials. This will help you prepare for the examinationas also in assimilating the content. Besides, you will be able to save on time. Do use these margins. Thiswill help you keep track of and assimilate what you have been reading in the unit, answer the self-checkexercises and the assignment questions and easily identify the item(s) to be clarified.

We hope that we have given enough space for you to work on the self-check exercises. The purpose ofgiving self-check exercises will be served satisfactorily if you compare your answers with the possibleones given at the end of each unit after having written your answer in the blank space. You may betempted to have a glance at answer(s) given at the end of the unit as soon as you come across anexercise. But we do hope that you will overcome the temptation and turn to these answers only after youwrite yours.

These exercises are not meant to be submitted to us for correction or evaluation. Instead, the exercisesare to function as study tools to help you keep on the right track as you read the units.

The units are designed in such a way that the contents of later units are based upon the contents of initialunits. If you have not understood or followed a unit properly, please read it again before reading the nextone because; it may be difficult to follow the later units without a proper understanding of the first one.Wherever you face problem in understanding the content, please make note of it and put that question toyour counsellor during the counselling sessions at the PSC. You can also informally clear your doubtswhenever you come in contact with your counsellors at PSC/SDC without any hesitation. You could alsoe-mail or Fax your questions to the School of Health Sciences for clarification. Your questions would beanswered during the teleconference sessions.

The references at the end of the books are listed for those who want to know further about the subject.But for your purpose, it should be sufficient if you have understood the contents thoroughly. Please notethat all the questions either in assignments or in term-end examination will be from the syllabi as mentionedin this guide. You will have to write the assignments related to each block as mentioned later on.
