How To Plan This Semester - Tips To ace This Semester (Follow Atleast Few)
SQ3R
This approach helps you get the most out of your reading. It will help you create notes from your reading from which to study.
1. Survey: Carefully pre-read the chapter. Look at the title, subtitles, boldface and italics, graphs and diagrams, summary and/or conclusion, and questions at the end of the chapter.
2. Question: Reading is a thinking process; inquiry makes you an active reader. Formulate questions before you read. Convert titles, subtitles, etc. into questions. WRITE THESE DOWN!
3. Read: Thoroughly read the chapter and fill in the answers to your questions as you go along.
Important: Read for meaning, not only the answers! Write down any information you sense is important.
4. Recite: Talk to yourself. Read your questions, answers and notes out loud. Translate key ideas and new terms into your own words. Research any answers or information that don't seem clear enough.
5. Review: Reread your notes as often as possible. Frequent review enables you to better retain the material.
BE FLEXIBLE! At first go through SQ3R step-by-step, and later alter it to suit your own purposes and style.
Note Taking Skills and Strategies
Tips on taking notes, techniques and strategies that will help you become a good note taker. Whether taking college lecture notes or class notes these tips will be of great help.
* If the instructor writes something on the chalkboard/overhead or repeats an idea then it is usually a key point and you should write it down.
* Try to sit towards the front and center of the class where you'll be less distracted and can hear the professor the best and have a good angle on any visual aids that may be shown.
* Don't rely on someone Else's notes, you may not understand everything that they write down and you'll learn the best by taking your own notes.
* If your instructor talks fast, it may help to bring an audio recorder and record the lecture while taking notes.
* After the lecture is over you can replay the lecture and fill in any parts that you missed in your notes.
* Do reading assignments or homework questions before class, it is easier to take notes when you know what the instructor is talking about.
* Date your notes; add titles and subtitles when you move onto a new topic for easy referencing.
* Write down any terminology along with the definition that the instructor may present.
* Make sure that you write legibly, if you can't read them later, they'll be useless.
* If you have sloppy handwriting it may be wise to type your notes so that they are easier to read.
* If you missed what the instructor said ask them to repeat it or go to the instructor after class and ask for clarification.
* If you are in a rush, ask the instructor at the beginning of the next class or try to find the answer from a friend or the text.
* Compare notes with a classmate to make sure you didn't miss any important points.
Study Skills Help & Study Tips
* Everyone is different, different methods work for different people the following are only suggestions on improving upon your current studying techniques.
* It is best to review the material right after class when it's still fresh in your memory.
* Don't try to do all your studying the night before the test, instead space out your studying, review class materials at least several times a week, focusing on one topic at a time.
* Have all of your study material in front of you: lecture notes, course textbooks, study guides and any other relevant material.Find a comfortable and quiet place to study with good lighting and little distractions (try avoiding your own bed; it is very tempting to just lie down and take a nap).
* Start out by studying the most important information. Learn the general concepts first; don't worry about learning the details until you have learned the main ideas.
* Take notes and write down a summary of the important ideas as you read through your study material.
* Take short breaks frequently, you memory retains the information that you study at the beginning and the end better than what you study in the middle.
* Space out your studying, you'll learn more by studying a little every day instead of waiting to cram at the last minute.
* By studying everyday, the material will stay in your long-term memory but if you try to study at the last moment, the material will only reside in your short-term memory that you'll easily forget.
* Make sure that you understand the material well, don't just read through the material and try to memorize everything.
* If you choose to study in a group, only study with others who are serious about the test.
* Test yourself or have someone test you on the material to find out what your weak and strong areas are.
* You can use the review questions at the end of each chapter or practice tests the teacher may give out as well as other materials.
* Listening to relaxing music such as classical or jazz on a low volume can relieve some of the boredom of studying. Don't study later than the time you usually go to sleep, you may fall asleep or be tempted to go to sleep, instead try studying in the afternoon or early evening.
* If you are a morning person try studying in the morning.
Creating Good Homework/Study Habits
Good study habits start with a clean and quiet environment. So whenever you start to study or do homework be sure to turn off the television, radio, and i‐pod. If you absolutely have to have background noise try playing soft classical music. Avoiding music with words and recognizable melodies helps limit distractions.
There are many different kinds of routines that can help you succeed in completing your homework. Below is an example of such a routine. I encourage you to try it faithfully for at least a week before switching routines. The more you do something the easier it will become.
1. When you come home get a quick snack and some water (not soda). Also, change yours clothes; it will give you a fresh start. (10‐15min.)
2. Sit down at a clean table with your planner, binder(s) and all your books.
3. Set a timer for 30 min., almost all microwaves or ovens have a kitchen timer setting.
4. Open your planner and get started on the first item listed. Work on that item until it is completed, then put it back your notebook so you will be sure to have it ready to turn in.
5. Once you finish the first item highlight it or put a check next to it in your planner. Then begin the next item.
6. When the timer goes off set it for 5 min. and use that time to take a quick break to use the restroom, get another drink of water or walk around.
7. Once your break time is over set the timer for 30 min. again. Continue working on your list, remembering to check off the assignments once they are completed.
8. Continue this pattern of 30 min. on and 5 min. off until all your work is completed.
9. Once you have done everything you are supposed to do, put all your schoolwork and supplies (books) in your backpack. Then put your backpack by the front door, so you are ready to go in the morning.
10. Now you are done and can enjoy the rest of your evening. Way to go!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you find it difficult to revise for exams when you have so many subjects and things to remember? If the answer is yes, then you're not alone! These tips should help.
* Find out the exact dates of your exams. You will know how much time you have left before each exam. It might help to draw up a table which includes all your subjects and all the weeks you have until the last exam, and then fill in the exam dates.
* Prioritize your subjects. If you think you have most to do in computer graphics or that is your weakest subject then this will be top priority. Put all your subjects in an order from most to least important.
* Decide on a revision plan which will work for you. How many hours do you need to do of a night? Do you have other commitments you can't get out of? Leave some time for breaks, meals and free time but ensure you have a good time slot each night for revision.
* Fill in your revision timetable in with your subjects, and use your priority list to give the most important ones more revision time.
* Stick to this timetable! Speaking from experience, if you decide to focus solely on one or two subjects because you think you know the others, you will get a nasty shock. Don't ignore any of the subjects, but ensure you have a balance where your priority subjects have the lead.
* Begin by revising all the material which you don't know as well. There is no point in beginning to revise the basics of electronics if you are pretty confident in it. You may find that also prioritizing each individual subjects modules or topics helps you. Therefore if you run out of time you will know that you have definitely revised the hardest stuff!
* Actually attempt to remember the material. It sounds stupid but most of the time people are tempted to spend all their revision time just reading or writing and assume that they know it all. Never assume; 'it makes an *** out of U and ME' and its true. If you assume you know it without actually testing yourself on it then you might get a shock in the exam...
* Read the facts a few times so you are familiar with what they mean. If there's anything you don't understand do everything you can to find out. Ask the teacher, research other books and on the Internet. You will be learning as you do it!
* After you are more familiar with them, make your own notes so that it's shorter, but ensure that they make sense so you won't need to refer back to the test book when revising.
* Don't do too much at once. Take a page and test yourself by covering it up and writing down everything you remember. Then, check it and do it again and again until you have everything! This way you are testing and revising as you re-read it over again!
* You may not enjoy revising, but if you try and take interest in what you are learning and get really stuck into it, the more you will remember!
* Never give up - easier said than done right, but giving up only makes you more of a failure when you don't get the % you wanted for your exam. You will always have the guilt of knowing you didn't try your hardest.
* Everyone learns differently; you just have to discover how the best way is for you. But in the end it all comes down to testing yourself, so you can be sure you know it!
* You may not achieve the % you expected. Know in yourself what you are capable of achieving so you don't set your targets too high. Don't settle for lower % than your ability either though, just know your ability and do your best.
* Revision isn't fun - receiving your good % is.
* Never compare yourself to your friends. They are not you. we are all different. Just do your best and be happy with that.
Cramming Techniques for Exams
* Cramming for exams should be avoided at all costs. You should only cram for an exam as a last resort. It's hard to take in and retain a large amount of information in a short period of time. Some of the tips on studying and preparing for a test may over lap with the cramming techniques below.
* Eat some food to give you energy to study, but try to avoid excess sugar which will make you hyper and will make it more difficult to study.
* An apple does a better job at keeping you focused and awake than caffeine.
* Find a well lit place with no distractions around to study but don't get too comfortable or you may fall a sleep. Keep a positive attitude, it is easier to study when you are relaxed than when you are stressed out.
* Since your time is limited you have to choose what you study, don't attempt to learn everything, focus on things that will get you the most points on the exam.
* Focus on the main ideas and learn key formulas, skip the details for now and only come back to them if you see that you have time after you have learned the key points.
* Write down the key ideas/formulas on a sheet of paper and keep on studying from that sheet, repetition is important.
* Highlight the important points in your notes, and text and focus on that.
* Read the chapter summaries (they usually do a good job at summarizing the important points), if there're no chapter summaries then skim through the text and write down key ideas.
* Study from past tests, review questions, home works & review sheets.
* Take at least one five minute break an hour so that you can gather your thoughts and let your brain relax.
* If time permits, try to get at least 3 hours of sleep (one sleep cycle) before the exam so that you don't fall asleep when taking your exam. Don't forget to set your alarm!

“His mother would read out his lessons to him,” said Pratish’s father Prabir Datta. “All the credit goes to his mother. He even ranked second in the country in GATE this year. We feel so proud. My boy is no different… Rather, he has proved better than many,” Datta said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Blind-student-is-IIT-topper/articleshow/16417542.cms

viruses
A computer virus is a program or piece of code
that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs
against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are man-made. A simple virus that can make a copy
of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a
simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.
Since 1987, when a virus infected ARPANET, a large network used by the Defense Department and many universities, many antivirus programs have become available. These programs periodically check your computer system for the best-known types of viruses.
Some people distinguish between general viruses and worms. A worm is a special type of virus that can replicate itself and use memory, but cannot attach itself to other programs.
Classification
In order to replicate itself, a virus must be permitted to execute
code and write to memory. For this reason, many viruses attach
themselves to executable files that may be part of legitimate programs
(see code injection).
If a user attempts to launch an infected program, the virus' code may
be executed simultaneously. Viruses can be divided into two types based
on their behavior when they are executed. Nonresident viruses
immediately search for other hosts that can be infected, infect those
targets, and finally transfer control to the application program
they infected. Resident viruses do not search for hosts when they are
started. Instead, a resident virus loads itself into memory on execution
and transfers control to the host program. The virus stays active in
the background and infects new hosts when those files are accessed by
other programs or the operating system itself.
Nonresident viruses
Nonresident viruses can be thought of as consisting of a finder module and a replication module.
The finder module is responsible for finding new files to infect. For
each new executable file the finder module encounters, it calls the
replication module to infect that file.
Resident viruses
Resident viruses contain a replication module that is similar to the
one that is employed by nonresident viruses. This module, however, is
not called by a finder module. The virus loads the replication module
into memory when it is executed instead and ensures that this module is
executed each time the operating system is called to perform a certain
operation. The replication module can be called, for example, each time
the operating system executes a file. In this case the virus infects
every suitable program that is executed on the computer.
Resident viruses are sometimes subdivided into a category of fast infectors and a category of slow infectors.
Fast infectors are designed to infect as many files as possible. A fast
infector, for instance, can infect every potential host file that is
accessed. This poses a special problem when using anti-virus software,
since a virus scanner will access every potential host file on a
computer when it performs a system-wide scan. If the virus scanner fails
to notice that such a virus is present in memory the virus can
"piggy-back" on the virus scanner and in this way infect all files that
are scanned. Fast infectors rely on their fast infection rate to spread.
The disadvantage of this method is that infecting many files may make
detection more likely, because the virus may slow down a computer or
perform many suspicious actions that can be noticed by anti-virus
software. Slow infectors, on the other hand, are designed to infect
hosts infrequently. Some slow infectors, for instance, only infect files
when they are copied. Slow infectors are designed to avoid detection by
limiting their actions: they are less likely to slow down a computer
noticeably and will, at most, infrequently trigger anti-virus software
that detects suspicious behavior by programs. The slow infector
approach, however, does not seem very successful.

Memory Management in Operating System (OS)
In this article I am going to discuss the basics of Memory
Management in Operating System which is an important topic in exams .
One question is always there in GATE exam from Memory Management in Operating System
1)Uniprogramming: In this technique the RAM is partitioned into two parts .One Portion is for the Operating system to reside and the second part is for the user. Here a fence register is used which contains the last word address of the OS part. Operating system will compare the user data address with the fence register and if it is different that means user is not entering in the OS area. Fence register is also called boundary register and is used to prevent user from entering in the OS Area.
Here CPU utilization is very poor and hence multiprogramming is used.
2) Multiprogramming: Multiple users can share the memory simultaneously.
a)Contiguous memory Allocation:
1)MFT or fixed partitioning Scheme:
In fixed scheme at the time of installation OS will be partitioned into fixed sized blocks for e.g. let us consider that each block is of size 4KB and there are total 4 partitions. so the processes whose memory requirement is equals to or less than 4KB, can only get the memory.
Advantages: At the time of compilation only the address of each word can be given. Or we can bind address at the compile time
Disadvantages: Degree of multiprogramming is rigid ,its is not flexible because we cannot change the no. of blocks. memory wastage is caused due to fragmentation.
Fragmentation:
1)Internal: Partial or Incomplete usage of a block of memory
2)External: Entire block of available memory cannot be used.
2)MVT OR variable partitioning Scheme:
In variable partitioning scheme at the beginning there are no partitions. There is only the OS area and the rest of the available RAM. The memory is given to the processes as they arrive.
Advantages: In this scheme there is no internal fragmentation. This method is more flexible as variable size process can be given memory. there is no size limitation.
Disadvantages: It also suffers from external fragmentation. In this scheme compile time address binding is not possible.
b)Non Contiguous Allocation(Virtual Memory): To provide ease to the user and at the same time increase the CPU utilization we use the concept of virtual memory. In this system Operating system is giving illusion to the user such that
1)user can write a very big program
2)user thinks that its entire program is present in the RAM
3)All the space allocated to the user is contiguous
4)User address starts from all 0’s.
In reality only a small portion of the user program is in RAM which may or may not be contiguous while the remaining program is in secondary storage.
Advantages:
1)provides ease to the user as the user thinks that he has plenty of memory which is contiguous.
2)provides benefits to the system as the degree of multiprogramming is maintained. No fragmentation.
Paging:
We have seen previously that fixed and variable partitioning each had their disadvantages. Moreover, complete program has to be placed in the memory,which ultimately reduces the degree of multiprogramming. To overcome these problems the paging technique is used. The process is divided in small sections called pages. Main memory is also divided in to sections of the same size called frames. When a process needs to be run, it is loaded into memory ( see figure a below ). In figure b,c and d, three more processes are loaded. If process B is swapped to disk, the freed memory can be used by another process (figure e). Say that this new process D is larger than B. The first three pages will be loaded into the space freed by B, the two remaining pages will be read into frames 11 and 12 ( figure f).
Simple relative addressing scheme, cannot be used here. Address translation from virtual to physical address is to be done , and for this, the system needs to keep a page table for every process. For every page of a process currently residing in main memory, this table contains its corresponding frame.Every row in this table is called a Page Table Entry (PTE). The system also keeps a list with all the frames, which are not used at moment.
To keep things simple, the size of main memory, the size of pages and the size of frames is a power of 2.
Segmentation.
Another way of subdividing processes is segmentation. Processes are split up in variable size segments. The difference with dynamic partitioning is that processes can consists of several segments and these segments to not have to be loaded contiguously.

=====================================================
Before Choosing Career in Computer Science :
Computer science (CS) spans the range from theory through programming to cutting-edge development of computing solutions. Computer science offers a foundation that permits graduates to adapt to new technologies and new ideas. The work of computer scientists falls into three categories: a) designing and building software; b) developing effective ways to solve computing problems, such as storing information in databases, sending data over networks or providing new approaches to security problems; and c) devising new and better ways of using computers and addressing particular challenges in areas such as robotics, computer vision, or digital forensics (although these specializations are not available in all computer science programs). Most computer science programs require some mathematical background.
Let us consider what is involved in a career path in each area.
Career Path 1: Designing and implementing software.

Most computer science programs require some mathematical background.
Let us consider what is involved in a career path in each area.
Career Path 1: Designing and implementing software.
This refers to the work of software development which has grown to
include aspects of web development, interface design, security issues,
mobile computing, and so on. This is the career path that the majority
of computer science graduates follow. While a bachelor’s degree is
generally sufficient for entry into this kind of career, many software
professionals return to school to obtain a terminal master’s degree.
(Rarely is a doctorate involved.) Career opportunities occur in a wide
variety of settings including large or small software companies, large
or small computer services companies, and large organizations of all
kinds (industry, government, banking, healthcare, etc.). Degree programs
in software engineering also educate students for this career path.
Career Path 2: Devising new ways to use computers.
Career Path 2: Devising new ways to use computers.
This refers to innovation in the application of computer technology. A
career path in this area can involve advanced graduate work, followed by
a position in a research university or industrial research and
development laboratory; it can involve entrepreneurial activity such as
was evident during the dot-com boom of the 1990s; or it can involve a
combination of the two.
Career Path 3: Developing effective ways to solve computing problems.
Career Path 3: Developing effective ways to solve computing problems.
This refers to the application or development of computer science theory
and knowledge of algorithms to ensure the best possible solutions for
computationally intensive problems. As a practical matter, a career path
in the development of new computer science theory typically requires
graduate work to the Ph.D. level, followed by a position in a research
university or an industrial research and development laboratory.
Career Path 4: Planning and managing organizational technology infrastructure.
This is the type of work for which the new information technology (IT) programs explicitly aim to educate students. Career Path 4: Planning and managing organizational technology infrastructure.
Career paths 2 and 3 are undenably in the domain of computer science graduates. Career paths 1 and 4 have spawned the new majors in software engineering and information technology, respectively, and information systems graduates often follow Career path 1, too. Computer scientists continue to fill these positions, but programs in software engineering, information technology, and information systems offer alternative paths to these careers.
NEW GATE SCORE FORMULA
New GATE Score Calculation Formula
The GATE Score of a Candidate is Computed From:-
where ,
- S = GATE Score (normalised) of a Candidate,
- M = Marks obtained by a candidate in a paper,
- M(q) = Qualifying Marks of a General Category Candidates in the paper,
- Avg. M(t) = Average Marks of Top 0.1% or 10 ( whichever is higher ) of candidates in the paper,
- S(t) = GATE Score assigned to Avg. M(t) which is around 900, and
- S(q) = GATE Score assigned to M(q) which is around 300.
Note: M(q) is usually 25 Marks (out of 100) or μ + σ , Whichever is
higher. Here, μ is the mean of marks in a paper and σ is the Standard
Deviation.
Thought to ponder:If you can understand the formula, you're definitely an actual IIT level person!
