Dear Student,
As explained in the Programme Guide, evaluation at IGNOU consists of two parts: i)
continuous evaluation through assignments, and ii) term-end examination. In the final result,
assignments of a course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-end
examination. You will have to do three Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA) for a six credit
course. This Assignment booklet has TMAs for the general elective course BHIE-141
HISTORY OF CHINA (C. 1840 – 1978) which is a six credit course.
Assignment One has Descriptive Category Questions (DCQs) along with the application part.
These questions are framed to check your understanding of various introductory concepts of
History along with your ability to solve the application based questions in a systematic, to-the-
point and coherent manner.
Assignment Two has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you to first
analyse the topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers in a
concise manner.
Assignment Three has Short Category Questions (SCQs). These questions are meant to
improve your skill of recalling in brief the relevant/precise information about various historical
concepts and processes.
Before you attempt the assignments, please read the instructions carefully provided in the
Programme Guide. It is important that you write the answers to all the TMA questions in your
own words. Your answers should be within the approximate range of the word-limit set for a
particular section.
As mentioned in the Programme Guide, you need to submit all the assignments within the
stipulated time for being eligible to appear in the term-end examination to the Coordinator of
your study centre. This assignment is valid for July 2022 and January 2023 admission
cycle; and the assignment is to be submitted latest by September 30, 2022 and April 30
2023. You must obtain a receipt from the Study Centre for the assignments submitted and
retain it. If possible, keep a xerox copy of the assignments with you.
The Study Centre will have to return the assignments to you after they are evaluated. Please
insist on this. The Study Centre has to send the marks to the Student Evaluation Division at
IGNOU, New Delhi.
We expect you to answer each question as per guidelines for each category as mentioned in the
assignment. You will find it useful to keep the following points in mind:
1) Planning: Read the assignments carefully, go through the Units on which they are
based. Make some points regarding each question and then rearrange them in a logical
order.
2) Organisation: Be a little selective and analytic before drawing up a rough outline of
your answer. Give adequate attention to your introduction and conclusion.
Make sure that your answer:
a) is logical and coherent;
b) has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs, and
c) is written correctly giving adequate consideration to your expression, style and
presentation.
3) Presentation: Once you are satisfied with your answer, you can write down the final
version for submission, writing each answer neatly and underlining the points you wish
to emphasize. Make sure that the answer is within the stipulated word limit.
Wishing you all the best,

Faculty of History
