Scoring Process
Scoring will be based on the following parameters
Academic Scores
College Accredition Score
Recruitment Score
Aspire/Tech Lounge Score
Language Lounge Score
Campus Commune Score
In case of IT trainees, weighted consolidated score of an individual will decide on his/her date of joining TCS
(batching) and the Stream. Batching will be done quarterly. Top performers will be batched and the remaining
trainees will have to compete against their peers for the next batching process and their scores will be reset.
Transparency in Performance Scores will be maintained.

Q
Course Completion Quiz

1.1. Problems and Their classifications

It is widely recognized that Problem-Solving is a creative process which largely defines systematization and
mechanization. This may not sound very encouraging to problem solver. To balance this, most people, during
their schooling, acquire at least a modest set of problem-solving skills which they may or may not be aware of.
Even if one is not naturally skilled at problem-solving, there are a number of steps that can be taken to raise the
level of one's performance. It is not implied or intended that the suggestions in that follows are in any way a
recipe for problem-solving. The plain fact of the matter is that there is no universal method. Different strategies
appear to work for different people.
Within this context, where can we begin to say anything useful about computer problem solving? We must start
from the premise that computer problem solving is about understanding and applying logic.
Success in solving any problem is only possible after we have made the effort to understand the problem at hand.
We cannot hope to make useful progress in solving a problem until we fully understand what it is we are trying to
solve. This preliminary investigation may be thought of as the problem definition phase. In other words, what we
must do during this phase is work out what must be done rather than how to do it.
That is, we must try to extract from the problem statement (which is often quite imprecise and maybe even
ambiguous) a set of precisely defined tasks. Inexperienced problem-solvers too often gallop ahead with how
they are going to solve the problem only to find that they are either solving the wrong problem or they are solving
just a very special case of what is actually required.
In short, a lot of care should be taken in working out precisely what must be done. To be an effective problem
solver, the primary thing that you should try to achieve is to sharpen your logic of identifying and classifying the
type of problem that you are facing.
Problems can be classified into different groups, to be more precise they can be divided into four different
groups. They are as follows:
Question-based problems
Situation-based problems
Convincing-based problems
Solving-based problems

Each of these types of problems requires a unique approach to deal with and succeed. Let's consider each of
them.
a. Question-based problems

These type of problems involve a question that needs a solution or an answer. Often it is difficult and needs skill
and effort to derive the answer as you may not have access to all the relevant data and facts to make a perfect
decision. An example: Should the government help people who are retrenched?
Obviously this question asks for further data such as how many people have been retrenched? Is it a problem
that the government should handle? Why and how should they help them?
Question-based problems usually involve a long term plan of action and one which requires you to dig for more
information and data to help you find a solution to it. The situation also provides you a chance to dig deeper into
the status quo that you are in and to see how you could improve your current state to the ideal state that you
desire.
If you come across with this type of problem, you need to work towards getting as much facts and data as
possible that will allow you to at least try to minimize the problem and make an informed decision.
b. Situation-based problems

5/11

These types of problems as the word suggest is based on a situation that is currently causing you a confusion.
For example, your supervisor has asked you to work through the weekend to finish up a project for the
company that is worth a million dollars. But, you've promised to take your family out for dinner to celebrate your
spouse's birthday. You now have a 'situation' here. Such situation or problems can sometimes cause you to avoid
the problem or try to not give any attention to it. The question now before you is how you are going to handle
with this kind of situation.
This is when you need to keep thinking of how if at all you could satisfy these two very different situations. Or to
decide and prioritize which is important to you. Making up your decision, you need to say your decision to both
groups. Situation or condition based problems might expect you to make a choice. By making the choice or
choosing one among them, you need to weigh the consequences of your decision and as the saying goes to try to
choose "the lesser of the two evil".
c. Convincing-based problems

This type of problems put you in a situation whereby you might have information that others don't and a need to
convince the others that they should think or perceive things your way.
For example, how do you persuade your colleagues that they should not be coming late for their appointments
and meetings always? There may be a certain amount of sensitivity in such problems as the status quo that you
are in is not an ideal state and might give rise to other problems if you do not handle it well enough. Convincing
based problems require you to be empathetic to the others' feelings and to exercise a certain degree of emotional

connectivity with others so that they can be convinced.


d. Solving-based problems

The last in the category is the solving based problems which basically mean that you have a problem that needs
solving. Example: The scan machine has broken down. You have a lot copies to scan . There is only one solution
here and that is to solve the problem. The option chosen by you for the solution of this problem can be
categorized into either short term, mid-term or long term in effect. From the short term perspective, because
you've got lots of copies to scan , you might decide to outsource this. As a short-term remedy, you may have to
get the scan machine repaired. However this might not guarantee that it won't break down again in which case
you might have to think of a long term solution of replacing the whole machine.
This category of problems usually will involve you being in a current non-desirous state of being and the need to
move to an ideal state of being where the problem is resolved or if that is not possible at least in a state where the
problem can be minimized.

I think once u had attained a module mean reseting the module after that it will be not available for
reattempt. In my case for Introduction to computer system module happened same problem.. but hope
tht this time aspire cut off(Dec batch) may be lower...best of luck!!@Priyanka
