Book on scientific study techniques
It is written by J. N. Reddy, director, MAX Academy for Excellence
CHENNAI: A book with ‘100 super scientific study techniques’ was
released by M.V.V. Prasada Rao, joint secretary, CBSE Southern Region,
here on Thursday.
Titled ‘How to Excel in Studies & Score High Marks,’ the book is written by J.N. Reddy, director, MAX Academy for Excellence.
An accusation levelled against the Indian system of education was that it was too exam-oriented, said Mr. Reddy. Indians, themselves, have proved this wrong at organisations like NASA, Microsoft and IBM, he said. However, an increased emphasis on lateral and creative thinking was required. The study tips in the book were simple and practical, covering all aspects of the process of studying. Constantly sipping water, sitting upright, not studying at a stretch for more than an hour and studying several subjects in successive sessions rather than the same subject were some of the tips he gave the audience. Mr. Rao said that programming one’s activities systematically and creating a scholastic environment in schools were of vital importance for scoring high marks.
Y.G. Parthasarathy, dean and director, PSBB Group of Schools, said she would like to prescribe the book for students preparing for their public examinations. Kishore Kumar, senior principal, St. John’s School and C. Satish, Principal, DAV Boys’ School, felicitated the author for having written the book in simple and accessible English.
