UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E describe important functions of feedback. A is true because feedback indicates how far learners are from desired standards. B is true since teachers use feedback to refine methods, D is true because prompt, considerate feedback is more usable, and E is true as peer and self-assessment supplement teacher feedback. C is false because task-focused comments are more constructive than personal remarks, and F is false since clarifying feedback can help learners act on it better. Therefore A, B, D and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes all four true statements about feedback’s role for both learners and teachers, and it omits C and F, which either personalise comments or forbid clarification. This makes A, B, D and E only the correct option.

Option B:
Option B drops E and hence ignores the contribution of peer and self-feedback, focusing only on teacher-driven processes. Because E is also correct, A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C wrongly incorporates F, supporting the idea that feedback should never be revisited, which contradicts iterative learning. Thus B, D, E and F only mixes true and false claims and cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D includes C, which promotes personal rather than task-oriented feedback, and therefore A, C, D and E only contains a false statement that undermines good feedback practice.

Statements A, C and D are correct, while B is the only wrong statement. A is correct because discussion forums are a standard tool for asynchronous interaction among dispersed learners. C is correct since short video lectures are commonly used to deliver core content in MOOCs. D is correct as peer assessment tasks create communication opportunities between learners. B is wrong because although feedback may be limited or automated, it is not impossible for learners in MOOCs to receive feedback on their work.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it labels A and B as wrong statements. A is actually true in describing the role of discussion forums in MOOCs. Even though B is wrong, grouping it with A makes this combination inaccurate.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it identifies B only as the wrong statement. B overgeneralises by claiming that feedback is impossible in MOOCs, ignoring mechanisms such as automated quizzes, peer review and occasional instructor feedback. By leaving A, C and D outside the wrong set, this option matches the actual pattern of correctness.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups B and C as wrong. C is actually correct in noting the extensive use of short video lectures in online courses. Including C in the wrong set therefore misrepresents the communication methods used in MOOCs.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats A, B and C as wrong. Both A and C are accurate descriptions of typical communication tools and content delivery modes in MOOCs. Combining them with the genuinely wrong B yields an overinclusive and inconsistent set of wrong statements.
