Exam Tips and Module 1 Communication Skills - 1- Important NOTES for Exams of January 2023

on

 Communication Skills as a subject is very different from what you had in IFS as English. We do not have any Grammar as you can see in the syllabus of CS  - I. We do not have grammar, meaning the questions will be more of an explanation type. 

YOU WILL NEED TO WRITE YOUR ANSWERS IN DETAIL!

I am sharing some tips for better vocabulary and writing outcomes:

  1. Read the Oxford 3000 Vocabulary at least 05 times before the exam.
  2. Recall the explanations done during the lessons.
  3. Read the Topics from the Syllabus again and again so that you can think of examples and personal observations to write.
  4. See the slides, documents and links shared in the class Telegram group.
  5. This is a subject which has a lot of content on the web. You can read from anywhere and write relevant answers in exams, in your own language.
  6. DO NOT WRITE JUST A FEW SENTENCES AND LEAVE THE QUESTIONS > THIS IS A SUBJECT FOR WRITING AND QUESTIONS ARE FOR MARKS. Before you write, see how many marks are there for the question.
  7. Avoid taking any wrong means to pass the examination. Best is to Prepare and Perform well!
  8. The notes shared are suggestive, extra reading and study are required.

  3. Explain the Communication Process with a diagram.
  4. What are the two types of Communication?
