Tactics to Fight against Odd...My Learnings


Learning phase can be glamorous for any one who really loves to learn. To mean it, I would say it is a craze, passion and a treat to my knowledge base. Little addition is so valuable in our day to day life that makes me happy and keeps me abreast of others. In a way it has to be enjoyed with natural and fresh look.

This post is going to be a bit special for me. I will try to leave a message with this. To guide you on my past experience, I have visualized education as my important growth phase of life. I am from Biology background through out my post graduation level. Then a sudden turn around to Management studies in Bangalore for another Master degree. From the very beginning I took my studies a serious affair and tried to perform in every occasion. But converting my direction to corporate world with a background of Bio-science was never an easy task for me. In fact I was not well aware of the whole course and the phases I would have to pass through out the tenure of MBA session with marketing specialization. I had to study and learn those stuff which I have never dreamt of or had any idea. That also a completely different stream in a different and polished environment and of course a pool of unhygienic competition. As a whole the experience was not anticipated at all.

But finally I came out with flying colors both in terms of Ranking and Job placement. I would share few of my strategies taken over there to establish my footprints. These can be helpful those who are trying hard to make their presence vibrant in an unfavorable environment having limited access to air your voice. Bit of courage and persistence can make you stronger in any awkward situation. These are mentioned here as follows:

First list those objectives you want to achieve down the line of 6 months,1 year , 2 years, 5 years ,10 years while pursuing education and aiming your expected job. Segregating time frame, setting up targets and finally chasing that really works wonder. It is important to understand the basic nature of your learning efficiency. One should know his potential and try to maximize it as far as possible. Easy going but planned way of learning keeps you focused, directed, confident and energetic. It is really important to increase assimilation power and relating course theory to practical incidence.

Answers to these self րasked questions can be indicative to formulate your plan for those:

1. Do you know your institution and industries well?
2. What is their latest trend of demand?
3. How are you are feeling as a part of this new phase?
4. What are your strength and in which field?
5. Do you have enough idea to route your skill in the required direction?
6. What is the way of measuring your stand among the crowd?
7. What are the areas to hit upon to make an impact on others?
8. Have you drawn out a study plan to optimize your time?
9. How well you can differentiate your plan of action based on urgency?
10. Are you good enough to write every small points of your learning?
11. Do you know how to collect small but relevant information methodically?
12. Is it possible to diagnose the key factors and key people who can be of
your help?
13. How well organized you are in planning out something new?
14. Can you differentiate between learning and execution simultaneously?
15. What are the negative ideas that keep you worried?
16. How well you can present yourself to the new people?
17. Are you good enough to do self analysis and interrogation?
18. Could you prove yourself better than yesterday?
19. What extent you are responsible to yourself and your ego?
20. How disciplined and methodical you are with a serious process?

I hope answers of these questions will vary from a person to person obviously. But thoughtful and individualized answers would boost your energy and keeps you ever motivated. I must admit that finding answers and approach towards these questions are case specific and relative. But every unique effort will prove gold to you once you are convinced on your dedication and expected outcomes.

Choose Appropriate Home Tutor for Your Children



It is really difficult to take after the education section of your children when both parents go out for their jobs. Choosing an ideal tutor for your children is the most hectic job to be considered. Assigning proper tutor or the best tutor is like dream come true. It may take plenty number of months after deciding to hire a private home tutor for your child or children. Career News lets you know the flicking points of a perfect tutor, by which you could measure them and be satisfied with the results of later part.

Initially parents need to clear about the perception of their child. This is the only duty should performed by themselves, based on that parents should search for tutors. The private tutor could be male or female. Female tutors are generally kind and soft by nature. Males are hard corresponding to female tutor. For infant and primary students female tutors are suggested. For higher class students, Male tutors will be good one.
Academic qualification and certifications need to known about the private tutor before they are assigned. Parents should judge and ask tutor frankly about the past education of tutor. Experience regarding past private tuition will stronger tutorҀs bio.

Locality of private tutor needs to be checked. Location of your childrenҀs tuition yet does not keep importance, but still parents should be aware of it. Most cases, parents could pick up the tutors or tutor may invite student in his/her house, due his/her personal boundary of not coming to your home.
If you find the tutor from any news ad or news referral from web or any, you need to examine the person very well from your children. In case, if you manage to get a tutor through your friends or relatives or familiar, examine should done there also.

Finally, get the feedback from tutor and your children about others, separately and secretly. This also let you know what is going on your absence. And after assigning your tutor to you children, you can trace the improvements too. But your contribution would not stop after appointing a teacher. Constant monitoring is requires. DonҀt be in hurry, a result requires time. Wait and watch. Your children will improve. Consult with your tutor regarding progress of your children.

Make sure that your children get comfortable with the assigned private tutor. Maintaining friendly and cool companionship need to be maintained. Cause education is about to share knowledge, it cannot be feed or make people swallowed.

YouTubing the Admissions River

Just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do it. Cloning afghans (the dog not the blanket), building half-mile high buildings, teaching chickens to count--we just don't need em. The same is true, I think, for inviting students to submit YouTube-style videos as part of their college applications, as Tufts and as at least one other college have done in the last few days.

There's no question that the challenge of creating a video, even a simple one, can be exciting for someone who has grown up with pocket-sized video cameras and iMovie. Capabilities and equipment that were once confined to studios and labs have become commonplace and people have taken full advantage of them, sometimes to great effect. It's useless to pretend they don't exist or that students haven't grown up with them.

But is it appropriate to invite YouTube-style videos as part of a college application? 

Well, why not? Will it give better-heeled applicants an advantage? Probably. Will it induce migraines and binge drinking in admission officers who have to watch them? Definitely. But the big question is, what will the criteria for evaluation be? I've already read one comment that said an under-produced video seemed more authentic, and therefore more credible, than a slick one. Is that fair to the slick one? And wouldn't USC or NYU see the situation quite differently? Is a slick clip the equivalent of an essay that's been worked over by Joyce Carol Oates? Or is it just evidence of a real talent that could energize a campus? Does a student who uses a production crew get points for leadership or slammed for having others do his work for him?

I don't buy the argument that students may one day regret sending a clip into a college. They have grown up watching people, famous and ordinary, voluntarily humiliate themselves--sometimes as part of "rehabbing" their careers--in ways that we could only speculate about before. It's a hallmark of every reality show, from "American Idol" to "Jersey Shore" and shows no sign of abating. (Who's the breakout star of "Shore?" Snookie, the most embarrassing member of the group, who now makes highly anticipated appearances seemingly everywhere, and is planning her own handbag line.) It seems normal to confess egregious thoughts and behaviors to millions--think "Hoarders" or "Celebrity Rehab." And to think that only yesterday we were wondering if admission officers trolled social internet sites for dirt about applicants. Why go through that trouble when they'll send it themselves?

People are perfectly capable of humiliating or even incriminating themselves if there's a chance they'll be stars. (Recently in Chicago a group of students filmed themselves beating up another student and posted it on YouTube. What's the thought process there?) And who knows, there may be some pretty interesting things to come out of a video, but my guess is more often than not, not. When I was at Amherst in the far away 90s a transfer applicant sent in a 6-minute VHS videotape (remember them?) of himself in jacket and tie seated behind a desk telling us why he thought he was a good candidate. His final line was "And by the way, I'm not wearing any pants." This might have been amusing except for the fact that when he got up to turn off the camera, he was wearing pants. So, double fault. Presumably, kids are better editors today.

Students have been sending tapes of their auditions, their dance recitals, and other performances as part of their applications for a long time, so maybe YouTubing is just the next incarnation, with the problematic addition of self-conscious production values instead of dad's shaky and unfocused videography of an actual deed. The big difference is that the latter is a record of something; the former is of supposed value in and of itself. We're in an age where "broadcasting yourself" makes everyone a potential star, but is that what it all comes down to in a college application?

I don't see any reason not to look if students send a video (shouldn't we call it something else now? Or do we and I just don't know it?), but I'd exercise caution before making it even an optional part of a college application. At a College Board Forum session I attended last weekend here in Chicago about using new media to communicate with students, YouTubing wasn't even mentioned. If it does become a fixture, I hope at least that admission committees will figure out just what they'll be looking for first.
