How to study better

Image
By
This is a brief guide for teachers planning Study skills workshops and parents who may want to help their children study better. We need to use the following resources to begin with. So please try to read carefully through them. Also, there are certain tests which are appropriate only for certain ages and which tell us where the child stands. These tests are only an indication and the child’s preferences or attitudes will change somewhat over time. SO they are not to be taken as final. You should test the child in this and use the scores to guide the child.


Please note that teaching kids to learn is a highly specialized field and not the same as teaching them a subject. However, with effort every teacher can attempt to better the child’s life.

Annual Day 2023

By
 After a long hiatus due to covid we finally got most activities on track. The Annual Day function is always a big deal for everyone at Abhinav. It has been a tradition my mother started that the Annual Day will be not a Teacher-managed event, but a Student Initiative. Since when I was a teenager, I was part of this and today 10 years after she passed, I still strive to make it work as she would have. After some hesitation, we began working in early January. I wanted to use an outside choreographer just so that teachers will not be burdened. (They are already struggling with post-covid learning difficulties) But then, an outside guy could never do justice to the Abhinav style of doing things. We always keep in mind that the cultural program should be enjoyable to everyone in the audience and at the same time should display as many of the diverse talents that our students have, as possible.  It was a great relief that my G3 students came to the rescue. Almost all of std 9 and m...

Expression Calculator in Java

By
Std X CA students: Here is another assignment to be finished before Thursday 24th Apr, 2014, 8 am. Reverse engineer the application I have posted at the FB group - Expression Caculator . i.e. 1. download the file and save in the root of c-drive 2. run it in command prompt using "java -jar c:\exprcalc.jar" 3. enter various expressions to compute like 2 + 3 = (then enter) 4. once you type '=' and a white space and enter, it displays the result. 5. You can take a long expression like 7.5562 / 7.889 + 5 - 12.67 = (then enter) 6. You can type another expression after the result for the previous is shown. 7. It also handles errors well. Figure out the code and paste your answers here as a comment. Hint: It uses a blank for loop ... i.e. for (;;) { here goes the code }to repeat taking many numbers one after the other.
