Grade Inflation An Inquiry into the Cause
No full textThe aim of the study is to identify a moderation method to effectively control and eliminate grade inflation. This retrospective study was undertaken to investigate the end semester outcomes of three consensus moderation processes namely, Group, Peer and Panel moderations implemented over three consecutive semesters. In Group moderation, group of faculty members of the college irrespective of their specialty were involved in moderating the question papers whereas in Peer to peer moderation the choice of moderator, a subject expert, was by individual faculty members. A three member Panel constituted by the college implemented Panel moderation. Care was taken to ensure security of assessment instruments. A total of 64 courses' results were considered for the purpose of analysis 19 courses from Spring 2014 15 semester 20 courses from Fall 2015 16 semester and 25 courses from Spring 2015 16 semester . Mann Whitney U test was utilized to compare between two groups. The result of Group moderation vs Panel moderation is significant at p = 0.02382. Similarly, the result of Peer to peer moderation vs Panel moderation showed the result is significant at p = 0.56192. Thus, it was shown that Group Moderation results were significantly inflated compared to the other two p = 0.02382 . Panel moderation process appears to give a better distribution of grades compared to the peer and group moderation processes. However, the Panel moderation has not yielded a satisfactory distribution of grades. Additional measures are required to bring in desired outcome of end semester examination results.

Raj Kapoor and Hindi Films: Catalysts of Political Socialization in India, 1994
No full textThis dissertation seeks to describe and analyze Raj Kapoor and Hindi films as direct and latent catalysis of political socialization in India. The main objective of this study is to portray that Raj Kapoor as an actor, director and producer of Hindi films endeavors not only to entertain people but makes them socially conscious by capturing the socioeconomic scenario in the aftermath of the partition of India in 1947, and socializes them to love each other, live in peace, and consequently, contribute towards the resurgence of a reformed, united and vibrant India. In order to defend the objective of the thesis, films in which Raj Kapoor established himself as an actor or a creator were reviewed and analyzed, and extensive fieldwork was undertaken in Bombay. The National Film Archive of India, Pune and the Price Gilbert Library, Atlanta provided secondary sources of information. The framework of analysis combines Gabriel Almond, G. Bingham owell and Sidney Verba's model of political socialization with Karl Deutsch's theory of communication and the New Left paradigm. This dissertation, in the final analysis seeks to establish that Raj Kapoor and Hindi films are capable of assisting the Indian state in the process of nation-building by instilling a buoyant sense of nationalism, and invoking universal values of nonviolence, love, unity, peace and friendship in the individual, national and international spheres. The significance of this research is unique as it seeks to establish the importance of Hindi film artists who contribute directly or indirectly in shaping the attitude, values and beliefs of the Indian people. Perhaps, this research work is path breaking as it seeks to analytically point out and reiterate the importance of love and nonviolence in the realm of politics, and in improving the quality of everyday life via Hindi films and artists like Raj Kapoor

A Tamil Modernist’s Account of India’s Past: Ram Raj, Chettiyar Raj, and British Raj
No full textThe Ramayana, one of Hinduism\u27s two preeminent epics, has been retold in diverse ways over the centuries, but one modern rendition is unique: Nārata-Rāmāyaṇam(?). Its author, C. Virudhachalam (1906–48), wrote in Tamil under the pen name Pudumaippittan, meaning “one who is mad about newness.” Nārata-Rāmāyaṇam(?) presents colonialism as a continuation of the Ramayana narrative, showing how an ancient South Asian narrative can serve as an imaginative framework for modern Indian writers. The text mounts an astute critique of the notion of perfect rule, Ram Raj, and suggests that such a utopian ideal fosters the veneration of a glorified past that never existed. The text\u27s modernist literary ploys encourage scrutiny of culturally constructed concepts such as nationalism, consumerism, and narrative coherence. This unusual Ramayana reveals how narrative resources can be used to question both ancient and modern ideologies
Desfamiliarizações no poema ‘Bósnia, 92, 93’, de Dragica Raj?i?
No full textThe poem ‘Bosnien 92, 93’ belongs to the collection of poems Post Bellum, published in 2000 in Zurich. Dragica Raj?i?, author of this collection, was born in Croacia and lived in Switzerland, for many years, where she wrote and published literary texts in German. Introducing the imprint of foreignness in her poems, Raj?i? defamiliarizes a series of perceptions, which concern ideas about national belongingness, lyrical speech, gender questions, but also ideas about the linguistic material which forms the basis of a poem. Thus, this article aims to analyse defamiliarization strategies present in the poem ‘Bosnien 92, 93’.RESUMO: O poema ‘Bósnia, 92, 93’ faz parte da coletânea Post Bellum, publicada em 2000, em Zurique. Dragica Raj?i?, autora dessa coletânea, nasceu na Croácia e viveu por muitos anos na Suíça, onde escreveu e publicou textos literários em língua alemã. Inserindo a marca de estrangeiridade em seus poemas, Raj?i? desfamiliariza uma série de percepções que envolvem ideias de pertencimento nacional, de fala lírica, de questões de gênero, mas também do material linguístico que compõe a base do poema. Nesse sentido, este artigo pretende analisar as estratégias de desfamiliarização presentes no poema ‘Bósnia, 92, 93’
