Learning Objective: Assess methods for improving study skills
Learning to study effectively is a skill that benefits everyone, even the smartest in the class. When polled, most college students would agree that when they started college, they did not know how to properly study. In this seminar, we will address preparatory study principles, such as setting goals, knowing your learning style, being an active reader, participating in study groups, organizing your notes and study materials, and writing drafts of papers, that can help all students improve their study skills and perform better.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Identify the traits of successful studying candidates.
b. Generate methods for achieving successful studying habits.
c. Outline methods for implementing successful studying techniques.
For scoring more in exams you ought to be focussed in your classes. Don't waste time in writing down everything taught in the class just give time to understand the concepts. Take notes of only important topics.
Search everything about the topic taught in classes. Study those topics in details and also check the authenticity of the material posted on internet, so that it makes your answer more viable.
Listen carefully in lectures and absorb as much as knowledge you can.
Search more and more in internet about the topics taught in lectures.
Try to relate what you studied in class to the outer world.
Take breaks between study hours and spend time on your hobbies.
Eat according to your diet before exams.
Sleep well before your exams.
Have all necessary supplies.
Drink lots of water.
Keep your Mind open during Exams.

Search everything about the topic taught in classes. Study those topics in details and also check the authenticity of the material posted on internet, so that it makes your answer more viable.
Try to relate what you have learned in your lecture to the physical world. For instance, lets say today i have learned about Most favoured Nation policy of WTO then i will look towards how people residing near me give prefernces to the people residing in the same locality and to people who are living in different localities. In nutshell just try to relate physical world things with what you have studied.
Take frequent brakes and try to spend some time on your hobbies. For instance, If I have a hobby of listening to songs then after every hour of studying i will take a break of 5 mins and listen to a song and then again continue to study.
Eating healthy will generally boost brain performance too, so make sure you're always eating a healthy diet to help you learn all through your exams.
If you don't sleep you won't be able to focus when the pressure's on! Make sure to go to bed early the night before the exam, rather than staying up all night to study. Your brain won't be able to hold on to all that crammed information anyway.
The purpose of this presentation is to assist secondary school students to improve their studies and performance in school by adopting comprehensive study skills and habits. This is by demonstrating to the student the importance of attending class on time, paying close attention to the lesson, taking time to study, and preparing for tests and the final examinations. In this way, the students improve on study skills and advanced in studies and future career.
This is short presentation for any type of students who want to do better in any examinations. The points mentioned in the presentation are very vast in nature, though I have tried them at very introductory level. The Students or Teachers can give extra information about them. It is also possible that some necessary points or elements may have missed from the presentation. Those will be added in the next Presentation !!

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

only do the best you can on the day

afterwards, if it is only going to worry you

things
Exams are Important, but they are not the
only key to a successful future.
GOOD LUCK !
