...basics right. 2. START WITH YOUR BEST “First impression is the last impression” and the same is true for your SSC answer paper also. If the examiner gets a good first impression of you, it can only work in your favour. Therefore, the first answer that you write, take extra precaution to make sure there are no careless mistakes, cancellations or any turn-offs that will create a bad impression. Also, attempting questions in order is preferable but not necessary. You can start with the answer that you know best if you are not so confident. 3. LEVERAGE THE EXAMINER’S INERTIA The examiner is only human and if he/she feels that you know your subject matter perfectly, then he/she may automatically tend to overlook some minor mistakes you make later in the paper. Thus many top ranking SSC students choose to answer the questions they are most confident about first. If the examiner is ticking your earlier questions, chances are he will keep ticking. You don’t want the examiner to keep crossing your answers. Thus write your best answers first and your not so perfect answers last. This can be a useful strategy especially for your subjective SSC papers such as English, Hindi, Marathi and History-Civics. 4. PRESENT YOUR PAPER WELL Examiners cannot deduct marks if a student has not underlined important terms and not written neatly. However if you present your paper well, it makes it...

...Project is to provide you with practice in creating, justifying, and explaining a decision-making proposal. All elements involved in the creation of this proposal, from problem definition through action plan, must be covered. Further, the proposal, as constructed, must meet the tests of any sound business plan, namely that it has specific and measurable goals and objectives, clearly defined activities, stipulated time frames during which those activities will take place, and clearly defined measurable outcomes. The subject matter of your paper should be business-oriented in nature and should avoid decisions that depend largely on intuition to solve. Although the length of the paper is not predetermined, a 10–15 page analysis, including data and appendices, is probably correct. You will also share a summary PowerPoint presentation with fellow students during the Week 6 Discussion. The Final Course Project Proposal with the PowerPoint presentation is due by the end of Week 7 (graded). Required Outline The following outline is required for your Course Project.

...Dr. Cheu Multi-modal Literacy Assignment, a.k.a. the Remix assignment Recasting Men in Popular Discourse Due Dates: March 26, 2013 (papers, 2 pages, works cited is not required) Presentations: March 19th, and 21st 2013 (as needed) The purpose of the Multi-modal literacy assignment is to work with your writing in another "mode" and to think about the different ways that writing can have an effect an audience. Also, in the global society and economy in which we find ourselves now, many of you will have to work with writing in different ways in the workplace, and many of you already do. For example, most of you know that what and how you write when you text someone or on a Facebook wall is fundamentally different that what you write and how you present yourself in a cover letter for a job application. Likewise, if you were to take a paper that you have written and have to "covert" it to a Powerpoint presentation, most of you would not simply cut and paste text verbatim, but you would condense your writing into bullet points for each slide and then talk about them. For this assignment, we will work particularly on thinking about skills of delivery or presentation, and on thinking about audience. This assignment has two components: a reflective essay which will be graded individually and a group presentation. We will discuss later whether it will be easier to assign groups or for you to choose your own. For this assignment, I would like you as a group...

...Audience Analysis Paper Abstract This paper will discuss how important effective communication is when dealing with diverse groups of people. This paper will discuss how an audience analysis must be done to capture the audiences’ attention. This paper will also analyze the audience characteristics, communication channels and various ways to deliver an effective message. Audience Analysis Paper Someone who is efficient at giving presentations may have many reasons for being efficient. It could be that they are very knowledgeable about the information they are presenting or they may be really confident about their ability to speak in front of large crowds. Something else that may add to them being efficient is the knowledge of whom the audience is and how to communicate effectively to different groups of people. Proficient communicators understand the different characteristics of the audience, the diversity in groups, and the appropriate communication channels. In addition, they look for ways to ensure their messages are effective and understood. For starters, the presenter must determine who the audience is that they are presenting to and their different roles of the audience. These roles would incorporate the primary audience, the secondary audience, the auxiliary audience, the gatekeeper, and the watchdog. The primary audience will decide whether to accept your recommendations or will act on the basis of your message. It is very necessary to reach your primary...
