The Department of English at Unity Women’s College, Manjeri, held an author-based quiz for college students across the State on Wednesday.
The fifth edition of the quiz, titled Author Quest, focussed on one author chosen by the contestants. The colleges were assigned authors in advance and were given time to study them.
“It was an out-of-the-box quizzing aimed at meeting the renewed modes of learning and interaction promoted by the revised curriculum at graduate and postgraduate level,” said P.K. Babu, head of the Department of English.
