UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and D are correct, whereas E and F are incorrect. Formative feedback is given during learning, summative feedback is tied to final grading, and peer and self-feedback extend responsibility for evaluation to learners themselves. Deep learning requires more than just final marks; it needs ongoing, constructive information. Purely negative feedback and reliance only on summative scores in large classes do not support sustained improvement. Hence the true statements are A, B, C and D.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes all four valid descriptions of feedback types and excludes E and F, which present unhelpful and narrow views. It reflects current thinking that multiple forms of feedback, not just final grades, are needed for effective learning. Therefore this combination accurately captures the correct statements in the question.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds E as though it were correct, asserting that feedback must always be purely negative. This contradicts the idea of balanced, constructive feedback that recognises strengths and areas for growth. Including E makes the option unacceptable.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it excludes A and includes F. A is a fundamental definition of formative feedback, while F wrongly claims that only summative feedback is adequate in large classes. Omitting A and adding F produces a logically flawed combination.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes E and F along with A, C and D, mixing correct descriptions with clearly false statements. This combination suggests negative, summative-only feedback is acceptable, which conflicts with good pedagogic practice. Hence it cannot be chosen.

Statements A, B and D accurately describe how online collaboration tools function, while statement C is false. Shared documents and wikis enable multiple users to co-author text, version histories show who changed what and commenting supports feedback. The claim that such tools cannot be used for group projects contradicts their widespread educational use. Thus, the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B and omits D. While A and B are true, D is also correct in highlighting the significance of commenting and annotation tools for feedback. Excluding D means the set is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups A, B and C as correct statements. Including C is problematic because it denies the very purpose of collaboration tools in group work. Mixing a false statement with true ones prevents this option from being correct.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it lists B, C and D as correct. Statements B and D are accurate, but C is false, and any option that accepts C cannot be right. In addition, this combination leaves out statement A, which is also true.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it collects A, B and D, the three statements that fit real-world classroom use of collaboration platforms. It rejects C, which incorrectly restricts these tools, thereby giving a complete and accurate picture of their educational value.
