Part C Reading For Meaning Read And Reason: Fill & Download for Free

Your question is very critical and relevant as this is a significant reason for majority of the students to fear CSIR examination and ruin their efforts in the first place. And I would like to thank you for this much needed question.Believe me, the Part C questions only appear difficult, they are in fact easier than Parts A and B questions of CSIR UGC NET JRF Examination specifically life sciences.Almost every candidate preparing for this exam goes through this feeling initially. So CONQUER YOUR FEARS first…The reasons students find them difficult ‘even after thorough preparation’ are-The questions are very lengthy. This scares candidates at first sight. But actually if you read carefully, the questions are very simple and direct. You need to read calmly and carefully. The lines added just give extra information which may or may not be required.They carry 4 marks each and any mistake would deduct 1 mark from the overall score. This weightage impacts the psyche of the students in a negative way, generally speaking, leading to more apprehensions and in turn more fear and anxiety that eventually makes them botch it up.They are mostly application based, which means that anybody who has not understood the fundamentals properly will not be able to solve them correctly. This way it helps in eliminating candidates who have prepared by rote learning blindly.Now in order to combat your fears and difficulties with Part C after thorough preparation, you should keep in mind the following-There is a vast range of topics and questions to choose from and one only needs to attempt a maximum of 25 out of 75 questions! This is a huge advantage for the candidates to help them score higher even if they haven't studied the entire syllabus thoroughly. Solving even 20 questions in part C correctly can fetch them a good score provided sections A and B have not been screwed up by the candidate.Revise the topics well and practice past CSIR papers as much as possible in order to understand the pattern of the questions and protect yourselves from the tricks and hacks present in some questions. Many questions are repeated as such or sometimes reframed from the options of past CSIR questions- so you have to be on the lookout!Remove any kind of negativity specifically fears pertaining to the examination and believe in yourself. If you've followed proper guidance and persevered smartly with focus and determination then nothing can stop you from qualifying CSIR UGC NET JRF examination.Good Luck and Best Wishes!

Not what you think.Some of my finest students earn “F”, and some who are not earn “A”.Repeat after me: Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.But why?Some great students are very poor, even homeless. They miss lots of school. They don’t turn in assignments. When they’re here, their minds are elsewhere.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.Some weak students have incredibly involved parents. Those parents provide homework help (or sometimes just flat out complete it!). They pay for tutors. They coordinate with teachers and make sure students are up to date on homework, test retakes, etc.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.I have had students with IEP / 504 who earn high marks despite serious cognitive challenges. I have had students with impeccable records who don’t need the credit for my class and decide to stop attending class.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.Sometimes students are part of a group that does well on a project. They earn more points than they otherwise would, inflating their grade. Sometimes the inverse happens.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.People die, loved ones get sick, families move, lives are disrupted. This can radically alter the trajectory of a student’s life.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.So why do we give grades? Why bother, if they don’t really mean anything?There’s a good argument that we should not give grades at all - an indication of “proficient” on a particular skill should be sufficient. In the end, grades are a holdover from an industrial age, an age that no longer exists. In this age of information, surely students, parents, and society at large deserve a more detailed assessment of a student and his or her abilities than just “B+”.As reference, for 8 years I attended a private school that gave no grades of any kind. We studied addition until we mastered it. Then we moved to subtraction. If that took a week, a month, or a year, then so be it.I hope that we come to that sort of education for all students, and the sooner the better. At present we graduate 18-year-olds who can’t read, and fail them out despite enormous potential. We reduce human beings to a single letter, and we hope this is enough to forward them toward a reasonable degree, career, and life pathway.Grades are arbitrary and don’t exist objectively.They shouldn’t exist at all.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” - Ian MaclarenSome are, but for the wrong reasons.Here’s the thing: it’s not the fact that he makes rudimentary grammar and spelling mistakes on a routine basis.It’s the fact that he doubles down on them and insists that everyone else is getting it wrong. In the most hilarious way possible: by making additional, easily, obviously wrong ridiculous claims about provable facts. Like this, from this morning:That’s why people are mocking him so hard right now.For explanation, in case it’s not completely obvious, a) “Liddle” is not a word, b) that’s an apostrophe on the end, not a hyphen, c) the CNN story didn’t make any commentary on the incorrect spelling, merely reported it without the apostrophe on the end (which for some reason really set Trump off,) and d) Trump spells “describing” incorrectly while attacking CNN for not spelling his incorrect spelling of “little” “correctly.”Generally speaking, most people don’t care about Trump’s constant grammar and spelling mistakes. It’s Twitter. That’s just kind of the territory. I don’t think that people are holding that against him that much inherently. It’s just a gaffe.What gets overlooked because of it is that Trump’s grammar and spelling problems are likely part of why his personality is the way it is.We know Trump doesn’t like to read, and apparently struggles with it.[1] He insists that briefings be oral and short, prefers animations, diagrams, and pictures, and doesn’t even read one or two page memoranda given to him.This is probably something most people don’t think about other than to hate on him a bit or make fun of him. But it is actually somewhat important.It’s been pretty obvious by now, especially to veteran reading teachers, that Trump probably doesn’t like to read because he reads at a very low level and probably has some grade of dyslexia.[2] As a former reading and language arts teacher, I concur. Given his speech and writing patterns, I’d have to guess he reads at around a fifth to maybe sixth grade level.It’s why he frequently mixes up words or letters within words when reading off a teleprompter or impromptu speaking, or pauses a lot in odd places and then goes on the weirdest tangents until he seemingly just gets back onto the speech.He’s learned to cope by trying to make it sound like he meant to make that mistake.Three good examples are his U.N. speech just a few days ago, when he mixed up “tire” and “fire,”[3]his “taking over the airports” issue in his Fourth of July speech,[4]and his repeated “oranges” instead of “origins” mistake.[5]When someone with reading disability reads along on something like a written draft or teleprompter, they can’t process the meaning and context like fluent readers do. Their concentration is really on pronunciation of the words. So, if they do something like skip a line or come across an unfamiliar word, they get confused. They understand it doesn’t sound right because they can speak the language, but the ability to self-correct from the written word is hampered because they can’t also hold on to the context of the writing and process the word at the same time. It’s just too much.So, people who have these disabilities often develop mechanisms to try to cope that make it sound like they meant to read it that way.With “tire” and “fire,” those letters are reasonably alike, and because he probably didn’t review the speech beforehand, he just mixed them up. Rather than admit the mistake, like most people (“excuse me, tire,”) he tried to riff on it to make it seem like it was intentional.It’s a similar issue with “oranges” and “origins.” These words sound relatively alike, but he’s clearly not as familiar with the term “origins.” He tries repeating it because he’s heard someone say it recently (probably something on Fox and Friends, which we know that he watches frequently,)[6] but he doesn’t really know the word or what it means, so he falls back on a word he does know: oranges. And he realizes that it’s not the word he’s looking for, but he does actually have the concept: that word he was trying to use must mean “beginnings,” because that’s what he’s talking about - where the investigation got started. You can see he thinks about it for a moment, and then falters around, and looks for another word that he knows. This is a very typical coping strategy for struggling readers.In his 4th of July speech, he probably skipped a line on the teleprompter, which derailed him. The speech tried to re-use a lot of the language of the Star Spangled Banner, which was probably a deliberate choice on the part of the speechwriter to help provide a lot of familiar words and phrases to the audience, and for Trump.So, when he realized he missed a line, he started riffing, looking for familiar words. What came out was this:Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.[7]He then probably went back, reread the line more carefully, and got tripped back up on “ramparts.” It’s not a commonly used word. He probably doesn’t know what it means. Because he’s lost now, he can’t just read through it; he’s trying to improvise. So, he falls back on something more familiar: rammed. Rammed he knows. The word air was probably in his head because of “bombs bursting in air.” So, he engaged in a common strategy: go to rhyming or similar sounding words that are familiar. “Ramparts” and “ports” sound familiar, and since he had “air” in his head, airport is what came out. And that sounds more right: airport is a word he knows. He improvises a bit more, “it did everything it had to do…” to buy some time to figure out his place, and then picked it back up at “at Fort McHenry.”Again, these are all really common issues and coping mechanisms in struggling readers.And it’s also really common for struggling readers to compensate by becoming aggressive or bullying others as means to cover up their insecurity. They know that they aren’t as capable as others, but they can at least make it so nobody points it out or makes fun of them for it. My students who struggled with reading would often lash out if they had to read out loud, often by trying to create a disruption that would get them out of doing it.For example, in one of my first years of teaching, I had a student who was about 3–4 grade levels behind. We were starting to read Romeo and Juliet, and for the scene, we did “popcorn reading” where I would toss a large, soft rubber ball to the first student that I wanted to pick up a part, and then that person would choose the next person to pick up a part by tossing the ball to their choice. I had picked a different student to read Benvolio’s part for the day, who then picked his buddy, the student who had the blowup. That kid had been a disciplinary problem for me all year up to that point and I immediately knew I was going to have a problem.He first tried to slap the ball away at another student, who tried to casually toss it back to him. He caught it and chucked it straight at the first kid’s head while clearly turning red. I told his friend to just pass it to someone else nicely, and grabbed the other on his way out of class to talk about it in private. It took a while of him stonewalling me and getting mad, but he finally admitted that he was really hating the whole play because he couldn’t understand it. He had no idea what was going on. He couldn’t figure out the words, couldn’t read along when others were reading, and he was pissed at his friend because he believed that his buddy picked him on purpose to make him look stupid while he had to sound everything out. He would have rather been kicked out of class and dealt with a detention or even possible suspension rather than have to read out loud to the class.I stopped doing popcorn reading in that class and had students volunteer for parts, and referred him to special ed for reading testing and services. We had a great reading specialist, who worked with him all year, and a lot of his disciplinary issues faded quickly, including in other classes.Trump has probably lived for over 60–65 years like this. He’s been able to keep it under wraps until now because of his wealth, privilege, and celebrity status, but you can’t fake it anymore when you’re the President of the United States. Everything is under a very uncomfortable microscope, especially his reading ability.He’s got to feel incredibly out of his depth and unable to keep up with everything around him. And for once, he can’t fake his way out of it. He can’t buy his way out of it (no matter how much he tries.) He can’t even bully and bluster his way out of it, which has worked for him most of his life. He has to give speeches, no matter how hard he tries to avoid it.To some degree, I have empathy for him. That’s got to have been a miserable existence; even with all the money, privilege, fame, a life that anyone could ever want, he’s had to live with a feeling of inferiority for almost all of it.It’s sad that this disability, which could have been treated with a good reading therapist, has turned Trump cruel and petty and made him so easy to manipulate. He could have been better; look at the true story of King George VI of England, who overcame a speech impediment to lead the United Kingdom in the 1930’s and 40’s.But I think this is why he bullshits so much, honestly. Not just lies, bullshits.[8] He doesn’t really think or care about whether what he’s saying is true most of the time; the falsehoods he utters often aren’t deliberately intended to deceive. Some are, but most aren’t. Most of the falsehoods he throws out are intended to try to make himself look good, or smart, or right.[9] When they’re called out, it confirms that lifelong sense of inferiority for him and he lashes out to try and prove that he was right all along.[10]And when he fights back, because he lacks the vocabulary, the metacognition to review what he’s writing, and concepts to intelligibly fight back, he ends up making it worse like he did with the “Liddle’ Adam” debacle this morning. It gave everyone a reason to point and roar with laughter at him as he struggles his way through this, in such a way that made him look even dumber than if he’d have just left it alone.Even though Trump brought it on himself, and he absolutely did, I honestly can’t help but remember that kid in my classroom who was afraid that everyone was going to point and laugh at him and lashed out because of it.I also have to wonder if it has at least a little to do with why others who tend to struggle with the same issues might find him something of a folk hero. We keep hearing about how Trump supporters are fed up with the “elites.”[11] They feel looked down upon, and they resent it.[12] We also know that a not insignificant fraction of them tend to be cognitively challenged.[13][14] Not necessarily uneducated, but like Trump, semi-literate or with other educational disabilities. Here’s a guy who sounds like they think, or sounds like they read when he reads something out loud, and the very people who they think look down on them, look down on him for it as well.So, in some respects, I think people are probably having a laugh at Trump’s expense, and in that sense, they probably are making a bigger deal out of Trump’s mistakes than is truly warranted, even if it’s not totally unjustified.But I also think that it neglects the larger problem: we have a semi-literate President who is a petty, self-centered tyrant in part because of his insecurities around his inability to read.I’ll admit, I’m no Trump apologist, and I’ve sharply criticized his actions and the actions of his followers as they damage the institutions and fabric of the nation. He should be removed from office as soon as possible, both for his clearly deteriorating mental health and for the sake of the country.But it is important sometimes to take a step back and realize that in general, people are rarely inherently evil. Something happened, usually traumatic, that make people into bullies, cruel and petty and vengeful.Our culture has a massive deficit of empathy right now, and we should probably all consider how we contribute to that.[15] It doesn’t mean we accept the bullying or take it lying down. It means seeing through the monster on the outside to the human on the inside.Because the ones that are the hardest to love probably need it the most.Footnotes[1] The President Who Doesn't Read[2] Why Trump Can’t Learn: An Educated Guess by a Veteran Teacher[3] Decoding Trump's speech before the United Nations[4] Trump blames teleprompter for Revolutionary War 'airports' flub[5] White House bafflingly claims Trump actually said 'oringes,' not 'oranges'[6] I’ve Studied the Trump-Fox Feedback Loop for Months.
