How to Be Good at Group Discussion

Discussing in groups of two or more people can be a great way to develop better social and emotional skills in a structured environment. If you have trouble with group discussion, no worries-- just read this article!

Steps

1.Prepare yourself: If you don't know your material ahead of time, you will have less to contribute and will understand the discussion less. Research some background information on your topic if you are given it ahead of time.

2.Be confident: If you aren't confident with yourself, you'll be scared of sharing your opinions. You need to trust yourself and others and you need to feel confident in your thoughts. Share your opinions- it doesn't matter what other people think.

3.Possess Good Listening Skills: Group discussion is weighing the pros and cons of a debatable topic.Some will say no,some will say yes. The group discussions are mostly a way to see if how people's views are different, and how they perceive things. It's also comparing answers to others. Be a Good Listener.

4.Conquer misunderstandings: Even though you are mainly talking, and announcing whatever comes to you to win over; it doesn't stop from heated words spilling. So take in all in stride and try to form a question about why such an argument bursts out from something misunderstood. Try to make sure that their anger simmered down, and make a light-humored topic to stay.It's a good way to diminish the tense atmosphere.

5.Decision: There is always something different for group discussions. Ranging arithmetic, charities, healthy eating, politics, sports, and virtue or value in today's products. Always Try to give the conclusion to the topic thrown and give a good decision. A Good Decision Making is always appreciated.

Tips

  • Never laugh at anyone's opinion 
  • Be sure of what you say. Listen! 
  • Do not try to formulate your next comment while    someone is still presenting his input. 
  • Listen with an open mind. 
  • Use facts to support your opinions.
  • If you are having trouble thinking of things to add to the discussion, think of the 5 W's and How: who are you discussing? What is important about the topic? Where did the topic originate or take place? When did the event occur? Why is this topic important to society? How can things be improved? 
  • If people agree with you it's good if not do not force them but politely tell them to think over your opinion too. 
  • If there are disagreements to your thought, don't object, only interject when they misplaced or misheard anything. 
  • Do NOT interrupt. Wait for others to finish 
  • Stay impartial if you are leading the discussion.

Warnings

  • Control enthusiasm. 
  • Make sure you have your fair share of ideas, don't go hogging the spotlight just because you want to get noticed. It's better to think things over before you say anything; blow their mind away with a topic unknown, and if there is any questions, tell them about what you learn so they learn also. No one said you have to restrict your imagination, bend the rules of going over-board for a while.
  • Do not interrupt, it's a portrayal of disrespect and it reflects on the members of the group, they will criticize you based on your actions.

How to make Effective Resume

RESUME 
Resume is normally a concise one-page summary that describes an individual's education, employment history, awards, biographical information, and other accomplishments. It is intended to focus and highlight just the main strengths of the individual, and demonstrate fitness for the particular post.

Building an effective Resume

 A job resume is meant to make an individual stand out from other applicants. Thus, it has to be concise, original, specific and related to the post in question. It is in the applicant's interest to change the Resume from one job application to another to tailor it to the needs of the specific post. All resumes should contain this following basic information that can be adapted accordingly:
  •          Name (includes your full name and surname)
  •       Address (your permanent address plus any other temporary residence stating the dates you will be in each)
  •       Contact Phone Number (your mobile phone number plus your number in each address) 
  •       Email Id ( need not be a funky id should be a professional one)
  •         Professional/Career Objective/Goal (this should be related to the post you are applying for and should include skills which you have acquired)
  •         Educational Attainment / Qualifications (the schools/universities you went to, along with the dates and the qualifications obtained from each)
  •         Other significant courses (any extra courses that you might have taken, or seminars you have attended) 
  • Projects Undertaken ( Name, Duration, Language/Platform used + brief description)
  • Trainings Attended (Name of organization, Duration, skill set & role)
  • Other skills / Extra curricular activities (includes things like: active membership at school & college level, strengths & weaknesses)
  • Personal Details ( Father’s name, DOB, Permanent address, Languages Known, Hobbies & Interests
IMPORTANT 
  •          The resume should be kept as clean and plain as possible to give off a professional semblance. Fancy decorative paper or fonts should be avoided. The resume is not the place to be flashy.
  •        The resume should be proofread and kept as up to date as possible.
  •         Although it is in ones interest to have a winning resume, exaggerating is not tolerated and results in the opposite of the desired effect.

how to make Effective Power Point Presentation Construction

  •  Limit the information on the slide to a single point or idea --- no more than 5 lines. Keepslides simple with plenty of open space.
  •  Use action words to reinforce ideas and phrases rather than complete sentences.
  • Use “powerful” titles that communicate the point of the slide, not just its contents
  • Use contrasting colors for text and backgrounds. Most slides that will be projected using an LCD projector look best using a dark blue background and white text. Yellow text can be used for emphasis.
  • Avoid ALL CAPS, or use them for the Title only.
  •  Use capital and lower-case letters for body text.
  •  DO NOT USE ALL CAPS FOR BODY TEXT.
  •  DO NOT USE UNDERLINES. Both are very distracting and difficult to read.
  •  For data presentation, use
  •  Bar charts to compare data;
  •  Line graphs to show trends;
  •  Box charts to illustrate makeup or organizations or processes;
  •  Pie charts to emphasize the relationship of parts to the whole; and
  •  Photographs to illustrate realism.
  •  Use landscape orientation.
  •  Use a san-serif font such as Arial, Arial Rounded, Helvetica or Tahoma.
  •  Use the Font Sizes and Colors appropriate to the size of the room you will be speaking in:

For a large room:
o Titles: 38 – 44 pt., Yellow or White;
o Subtitles: 22 – 36pt., White or another light color; and
o Body Text: 26 – 34pt., White or another light color.
o Figure labels, captions: 20 – 24 pt., White
For a smaller to medium-sized room:
o Titles: 28 - 36 pt., Yellow or White
o Subtitles: 20 – 24 pt., Yellow or White
o Body Text: 18 – 20 pt., White or another light color
o Figure labels, captions: 16 -18 pt., White
• Do not put your company name or logo on your slides.
• Credit the sources of any statistics or other data you use.
GOOD SLIDE CHRACTERISTICS

  • Simplicity
  • Strong color contrast
  • Big
  • Consistent
  • No more than six lines
  • large, readable type

BAD SLIDE CHARACTERISTICS
Slides become difficult to read when you try to cover too much material on one slide
Text that is too small or a font color that does not provide enough contrast from the background will not project clearly.
ALSO, BODY TEXT IN ALL CAPS IS MORE DIFFICULT TO READ THAN CAP AND LOWERCASE
OR INITIAL CAP BODY TEXT.
The use of underline for emphasis can crowd line spacing and make your material difficult to read.
It is better to use color for emphasis.
Using no more than six lines on a slide with no more than six words per line is recommended. Plenty of open space around words is needed for slides to be clearly legible when projected on a screen.
Simplicity and conciseness are keys to good slides.
Remember; do not put company names or logos on your slides!

top 10 Strategies To Score More Than 90% Marks In 12th Board Exam

This article is useful for 10th students also so keep read it carefully.

10 Tips To Score More Than 90% Marks In 12th Board Exam 
It is all up to your hard work from the beginning of 12th class that whether you score more than 70% or 80% or 90% marks in 12th board exam. Now here are my tips and suggestions to score the good percentage in your 12th class.Just follow these tips and I assure you that no one can stop you from securing more percentage in your 12th board exam. 


1. Stick with Your Syllabus Book – Mind It! 
Yes, I have seen a number of students of mine run behind the big heavyweight reference books, and they underestimate their syllabus books like NCERT in the case of CBSE board. 
These syllabus books are the best to practice with. Have you ever noticed the high scoring students always stick to the syllabus textbooks and this is only because they know the true significance of that key to success book (syllabus textbooks). 
Reference books are good to study with but, reference books are for those students who wants to be a part of competitive exams after 12th class. But if you really want to score more 



2. Be Careful with your Weak Points 
What are my weak points and how to make them strong? you should always keep this question in your mind while preparing for the board exams. 
Take out your answer sheets of pre-boards and class tests etc, and take a deep look into your answers, and your mistakes, make a list of those mistakes for each and every subject. Ask yourself, will I repeat these mistakes in board exams too? 
No, say a big no, and start debugging your mistakes, do a hard work on your mistakes, scratch them to their depths, take it like a mission to convert those weak points of yours into the stronger ones 
  
is your handwriting lthy? try to make it better, if not 90 or 80% but at least 1%, but do work on it. 
is it organic chemistry? Learn it, read it and make it happen. But do not underestimate it. 
These are a sort of weak points I am talking about in this section. Recovering from your weak points which are responsible for your deducted marks will surely put you on the track of scoring great percentage in your board exam


3. Time Will Kill Your Marks 
Yes, I am talking about the time management here, this is one of the big factors responsible for marks. You are not a kid, every student knows the denition of time management, but only a few of them takes it seriously while preparing for board exams. 
It’s your 12th class dude, you will never see the school again in your life and, believe me, you will never study as you are doing right now, again in your life with such an enthusiasm. So why not make this preparation more beautiful and smart by applying time management on it.
 
So, let me explain some important key points of time management for board exam preparation. 
1. If you do, stop sleeping 8 hours, make a healthy sleep of 5 to 6 hours only and save your 2 hours from here.
 2. Study the learning subjects like chemistry, biology, economics, etc at morning time, this helps to retain a long memory of whatever you have learned while reading in the morning time.
 3. in school, take advantage of free time like sports periods and curriculum activities, practice logical subjects like math’s, physics, accounts etc. Trust me, reading or practicing in the free time of school will save a lot of time.
 4. If only 3 months are left for the board exams, then you should not join or continue things like coaching classes etc. Use that time in self-study and making notes, trust me you will understand things way better by doing self-study.
 5. Study at least 8 hours a day, if you really want to score 90+ percentage in board exams. Because this is the only thing which is required to achieve such percentage.
 6. Divide equal time of study with your main subjects. But do not forget to study subjects like Hindi, English etc. because they can prove to be real percentage boosters.
So overall you have to study at least 8 hours a day and make it 9 to 10 hours on holidays like Sunday. This feels like crazy, studying with such madness, but the 90+ achievers did that and made their percentage possible.


4. Solving Previous Year Papers Is Not That Boring 
Don’t know why the students do not understand the values of old assets. Again a huge number of students are there who spends a big money on reference books, but they even don’t try to look at the previous year papers. 
Maano Ya Na Maano, previous year papers act like a key to success in getting the mind blowing percentage in your 12th class. Don’t waste your money in buying such costly and heavy books. The internet is ruling today where you can and anything and anytime.Solving previous year question papers are like giving previous board exams. Take each and every year question paper seriously and start solving them and feel like you are sitting in examination hall of board exam. 
Do not go for answers directly without solving the question paper on your own completely, and after solving the question paper look for the answers and be a checker for yourself.
 
But if not then look for the mistakes and repeat the third point above, solving 10 such papers before the board exams will make you 10 times stronger to face the board exams. 
Previous year papers are important because they, 
1.
Let you know the difficulty level of questions.
2.
Help to
find out the repeating sequence of questions, 


 So, do not waste your time and download the previous year papers above, if you haven’t. And start solving them. Also with solving the previous year papers, you can practice sample papers and guess papers too. These papers also help to predict the future of your marks.


5. Don’t Underestimate ENGLISH – Specially CBSE Students 

Physics, Chemistry, math’s, Biology, Accounts, Economics blah and blah, dude do you remember you have one more subject called English? 
Not everyone but a huge number of students does not take this subject seriously and at the time of result, this subjects becomes responsible for the drop in overall percentage.
Subjects like English can be used as a booster in making a high percentage, all you need to do is to study it, at least, a day in a week. if you can maintain this, then surely this subject will support your percentage in a great way. Also, give a special attention to handwriting while preparing for English. You will secure at least 5 marks just by working on your answer sheet presentation skills. 


6. Do Your Answer Sheet Looks Filthy After You Finish the Exam? 
We are talking about 90+ percentage, it’s not a joke! even a single mark can make a big difference to 89.9% and 90%, getting me? 
So each and every activity matters while you are preparing for board exams. Neatness and cleanliness are one of them. Your answer sheet is the only thing on the basis of which you will get your marks, so everything related to your answer sheet matters. 
Practice on making your answer sheet look great, do work on your handwriting if it is not too good. Take some tips from good students of your class about the presentations of the answer sheet. Also, take advice from your teachers. Teachers will tell you the best about this scenario because some of them have experience in checking the answer sheets. 
Underlining the important phrases in your answer sheet, making boxes around the answer in the case of mathematics are one of the basic elements which should be used in making your answer sheet looks neat and clean. 
This neat and clean FUNDA will add worth up to 10 extra marks in your board exams, so why not work on it? 


7. The Night Just Before the Exam 
Yes, approx. 10% of your marks depends on this night, make a great use of this night, not in the study but in taking rest, making your mind feel relaxed. 
I too have experienced this night in my life, the only thing I remembered today is fear of board exam, that, what will happen tomorrow? How tougher will be the exam? these type of questions was eating my brain. Having that fear, I opened my notes and started revising the important things. No one was there to guide me that what I was doing at that time was totally wrong. 
I have an experience now and I can tell you what should you do that night. 
1. Make yourself forget that tomorrow is your exam, feel free like a bird. 
2. Do not ever try to revise your study stuff, as this is not one night.
3.
Sleep earlier as much as possible, and take a long sleep. This will help you to reset your brain and remember the things more accurately at the time of the exam.


 8.Things to Do and Not to Do On Exam Day
 
According to my 8th point you should sleep earlier on the night just before the exam. Take a healthy sleep of 8 hours and get early in the morning. In the morning, open up your study stuff and make a quick revise of all the topics in a brief way. 
Do not let your can dance down, when you something is still to study. let it be, do not ruin all other topics just because of that single thing. 
You have faced 10th board and this makes you an experienced one for board exams. Do you remember that just before the exam was about to start, a number of students were struggling around with their notes, books and another sort of things? maybe you were one of them. 
So, did that struggling just before the exams helped you in any way? No, the answer is an absolute no, moreover, this activity makes more negative effects on marks. So do not ever study just before the exams. 
Leave all your study materials at home and go with a free and relaxed mind. Do not talk about the topics with friends, stand-alone somewhere and wait for the exam to start. All you need to do at this time is to make yourself more con dent and stronger. 


9. During The Exam Time 
First and important, before reading the question paper, feel and pretend that you are well familiar with each and every question and you know how to answer each question present in that question paper. This is self-defense system and works very well. Thinking like this will make you even more positive and you will perform double for sure! 
Ok, now in advanced 15 min, read out each and every question to its root, understand it, make a plan that how you will do that question. Read all the question with same focus, and then make a strategy that which questions will you attempt rest. 
I know that you will be stuck on some questions while reading them in the advanced 15 minutes, and this will make you bit worried. But don’t panic at that moment, let it be, you will nd a way to solve it later, do not struggle with that particular question, give other questions attention too. 
Always attempt 5 marks questions rst, the simple logic says, you cannot do 5 marks questions when there is the shortage of time and you have to nish the paper, but you can easily do 1 marks even 2 marks questions in lesser time. And this is the best practice when dealing with the questions.
Do each and every question with the same attention and same focus because each question is important. Use similar writing and formatting throughout the answer sheet. And please do not make your answer sheet look bad in any way, keep using decorating items throughout the answer sheet. 
Always take a pencil and a scale with you, make diagrams whenever possible while attempting the questions, your diagrams will make a great impression on the checkers mind, so make it happen. 
Time means marks, do not spend more time on doing a particular question, here the experience comes in play. More the previous years or sample paper you have solved before, clearer you will become about the time management on each question. 
Be fully prepared with your stuff like pens, pencil, rubber, scale etc. Do not take chances, take everything in double amount, as each and every second is important here. 


10. Don’t Leave The Examination Hall Soon, You Are Not Done Yet. 
You have prepared for board exam for an entire year and the hours of examination time are the last moments of that subjects in 12th class, so do not let them go. Use these hours as much as possible in a good way. 
Don’t be in a hurry to leave the examination hall after completing your exam, wait to the last second of the exam. Cross check your answer sheet twice, thrice and again and again. If you are thinking that you have done everything correct then, you are absolutely wrong. 
Find your silly mistakes and resolve them. Also, add small design elements to make your answer sheet look good. Cross check your 1 mark questions again. 
Add more important lines to the questions carrying more marks, read each and every answer of yours and if you feel any answer uncomfortable then do not hesitate to make it interesting.
