Communication in lectures and tutorials – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C, D and E are correct, while F is incorrect. Large lectures tend toward one-way transmission, whereas tutorials offer more dialogue and individual feedback. Microphones and slides help convey information to big groups, and tutorials provide space for peer work. In any format, clear signposting of structure supports student comprehension. It is false to say that large lectures cannot collect any feedback; teachers can use questions, polls or minute papers to gather responses. Thus A, B, C, D and E form the correct set of statements.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it identifies exactly the five true statements and excludes F, which overstates the limitations of lecture formats. It recognises both strengths and challenges of different teaching arrangements. Therefore A, B, C, D and E only is the appropriate answer.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect since it includes F, turning a false absolute into an accepted claim. Even in very large classes, teachers can still collect feedback through various techniques. Thus A, B, C, D, E and F only cannot be chosen.

Option C:
Option C is wrong as it omits A, failing to mention the tendency of large lectures toward one-way communication. While B, C, D and E are correct, leaving out A makes the explanation of differences between lectures and tutorials incomplete. Hence B, C, D and E only is not the right answer.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it adds F, a false statement, and omits B, which correctly highlights personalised feedback in tutorials. This combination mixes omission of key information with inclusion of an error, so A, C, D, E and F only cannot be accepted.
