Wednesday Morning SItting

Dear All,

Today, I had a brief 2 hour meeting with a few of the students who did not get a chance to talk to me regarding the SAT way working method. The three students I met today are - Nishat, Nila, and Nayeem. Farheen was also supposed to sit with us, which she failed to do because of a personal engagement.

What did we discuss? Well, a great many things - if you are seriously asking me. But then all our talk were centered on the policy which we follow while we prepare for SAT and Admission US schools.

Among others we discussed the following things:

  1. How to deal with the challenges of learning new things for SAT and Admission Purpose - such as, Vocabulary, Reading, Writing.
  2. How to practice Vocabulary - without using memorisation. How the Vocalisation method works.
  3. Why it is pointless to memorise a word - a Philological finding that was developed between Early and Late 20th Century.
  4. We discussed how to improve one's interaction with others so as to improve one's sharper response to Critical Ideas such as - Feminism, Historiography, Psychology [Behaviourism], Literary and Artistic Theories [Renaissance Models, Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Cubism of Picasso].
  5. We also discussed why would a Department such as Mechanical/Chemical Engineering incorporate English Language and Literature as part of its Core Course Work.
  6. We talked about the SAT Resource pages of the Sparknote Website. These pages are now included in a new Tab on the HOME page of our Blog.
