In the booming market of cartoons and animations, one can easily satiate his creative spirits and take home a handsome pay packet.

This creative field was dominated by the West, but now India has running as one of the most serious contenders. Cartoons are illustrations of a single diagram with varied meanings, while an animation is a rapid display of 2-D or 3-D images to create an illusion of motion. One who is interested in the entertainment or video game industries may enter the field of animation, specializing in any number of concentrations, from video graphics to special effects.

There are several career institutes offering Animation and Cartoon Courses in India.

Animation and Cartoon Courses Career Prospects in India

Scope in India:

Animation in India has come a long way with Indian animations catering to the needs of several private and public sectors and indigenously produced animated films constituting the bulk.

Various T.V programs, advertisements / commercials and computer games are demanding a huge quantity of manpower from the Indian market. Animation is also being used in titling films, creating special effects or in web entertainment programs. Thus the scope for students of animation is huge in the context of the emerging Indian market.

CAREER PLANNING

Saturday, April 18, 2009 17:49
Posted in category Worthwhile Stuff

What comes to your mind when you think about career planning?  Many people aren’t sure what career planning means. Career planning as “A goal that you desire to achieve in a selected field or occupation with a well thought out plan to get you there.” In other words, it can be said that a well planned strategies to accomplish or fulfill your goals.

 

ANALYSE AND SET A CAREER GOAL

A career goal helps you to focus and make decisions on what you want to do for a living. In order to become a success in whatever you choose to do or you want to do, it is impetrative that you have a clear and motivating goal in mind. It helps you to decide the correct path to fulfill your wants. It directs you, motivates you and helps you to accomplish what you want. A career goal can be a specific job—such as a clerk or teacher—or a career goal can be a particular field you want to work in, such as transportation or education.

 

A career goal may help you to discover your talent, skills and abilities and possibilities that you wouldn’t have thought of. Many possibilities exist with any career you choose. Having a career goal can guide you to doing what you want to do in your life—rather than just aimlessly drifting from job to job. It is generally seen that people with clear goals do better than those who fail to set goals. Therefore, one should set clear career goals and objectives so that they can guide and motivate you at every step of the way.

 

A successful accomplishment is possible only through well defined and clear goals.

 

Once you choose a career, the first step in your career life is completed. The next step is to think strategically and plan out about the guidelines you would follow and implement to accomplish your goal.

 

The future is unpredictable but the present is in your hands, however, you should try to do everything you can to put in your best today and make your future bright.

 

EXPECTATIONS/DISAPPOINTMENTS

With every goal there is an anticipated desired outcome. We call this an expectation. Our expectations help to keep us motivated. When we realize our goal, we often feel joy and satisfaction.

 

All of us have expectations and disappointments. In the process in thinking about our goals, we have to be prepared to have disappointments.

 

Career planning is simply goal planning with the intention of setting goals for jobs and career.

 

However, the only career planning you need is the one that is for you and your particular needs.

 

Career planning is getting information, and with that information, you make a goal, and then plan the steps or guidelines needed to obtain that goal.

 

The world we live in works in certain ways.  The more one knows how it works, the better one can achieve those goals by utilizing the processes that will give you the advantage.  Career planning is simply goal planning with the intention of setting goals for jobs and career.

 

In order to remain competitive you need to be as flexible as you can and continually increase your skills.  Some things you can do are: go to school, take workshops or seminars, keep up with trade journals and talk to people who are knowledgeable in the field.  Today, it’s almost mandatory for us to take some form of training all through our career to keep up with the times. Here the word training not only includes organization and time management but also includes risk taking, problem solving, stress management and overcoming procrastination in achieving your goal.

 

 

IMPORTANCE OF CAREER PLANNING

Career planning is not a one- time activity, it’s a continuing process; in fact, you can call it a lifetime process. We are always learning and growing day by day, and as we do, our interests and needs also change. So one should follow and implement this activity on regular basis. Career planning is not just making plans to obtain your “perfect” job or career, but to help you make the many adjustments there will be along the way as you learn about you and your world or work.

 

Career planning is estimating, predicting and calculating all the steps necessary in achieving your goals. In the process, you are always making choices. When you choose one alternative over another, this is called an opportunity cost. An opportunity cost is the cost of passing up your next best choice when making a decision. In career planning, we need to always be mindful of our opportunity costs and take into consideration all that will come our way.  Those who have successful careers understand how the game of work is played.  As you can see career planning is more than just looking at jobs and positions and working hard.

 

The career planning process can be divided into six steps:

1.      Self-Assessment

2.      Career Exploration

3.      Targeting

4.      Career Preparation

5.      Marketing Yourself

6.      Career Management

 

Career planning is a process and is always ongoing and often runs in cycles.  When you desire change in your career, the process can be repeated many times. Therefore, it is called a continuing process.

 

In planning your career, try to find the people who can be mentors for you and assist you along the way.  Career planning is no different than any goal setting and planning.  The difference is that you are specifically separating your career and job goals from all other goals you may have.

 

Most of the people do not turn their wishes and dreams into reality because they don’t take these wishes and dreams and convert into goals. A goal is a dream with a deadline.

 

There are many reasons why people don’t make goals for themselves. The biggest reason is they don’t understand that the process of goal setting is a skill. All of us have made some goals in our life and achieved them.  But most of these were not large or life changing goals like going into business, changing careers, becoming wealthy, writing a novel, going from office clerk to a top executive or becoming an expert in your field.

 

The successful people analyse and set goals; make plans and implement them. Goal setting is a process and a learned skill with many parts to it. Simple, short-term goals may be done in your head, but more complex, long-term goals, should be written, evaluated and monitored frequently.  The longer it takes to achieve your goal, the more you will encounter problems, changes and frustration.

 

Goal setting is as much art as it is science.  The more you understand the process and the more skills you acquire, the better are the chances in reaching your goal. By seeking your goal you will help to build your self-esteem and self-confidence.

 

Life presents us with unexpected events all the time.  So when we set out a goal we must understand that there may be many roadblocks to reaching a goal.

 

Barriers that come up often cause a person to abandon a goal.

 

Many people think that by writing down their goals, they have the fear that they will lose their spontaneity or flexibility. Goals aren’t rigid and once it’s written it’s cast in stone and one can’t change it.  No one knows the future.  What you plan today can change dramatically in an instant.

 

In summary, many people are dissatisfied in their jobs and career.  Career planning will help maximize your potential and satisfaction in your work.

 

Having a career plan keeps you focused and motivated.  It helps you to anticipate problems and barriers that may come and what you can do to avoid the problem or barrier, solve it and continue on, or it may point out your deficiency or weakness so you can get the skills or resource needed to deal with the potential barrier.

 

Career planning will give you confidence that you are in charge of your career and life and you have the power to decide, act, and do what you want to accomplish your goals.

 

How to Study Mathematics

Thursday, April 16, 2009 17:13
Posted in category Maths

INTRODUCTION

Why aren’t you getting better grades in mathematics? Do you feel that you have put in all the time on it that can be expected of you and that you are still not getting results? But if you have been trying and your grades still don’t show your ability, or if you have been getting good grades but still feel that the mathematics does not mean very much to you, it is very likely that you do not know how to study effectively. This material aims to help you to study mathematics effectively.

Some of you, may feel that you have successful study methods of your own different from the ones described here. In that case, you need not feel you must change your methods, although you might profit from comparing your methods with these.

On the other hand, some of you may feel that the suggestions on the following pages are over-ambitious – that they would require more time and effort than you are prepared to give. You will probably be right. We cannot expect to do everything to perfection, but we can do the best we are able. Out of the suggestions offered, you can pick the ones that may help you most, and as you find your work improving, you may be able to try further suggestions. So scoff if you wish at these ambitious suggestions, but then give some of them a try, a fair try, and watch the results.

HOMEWORK

There is a common misconception that homework is primarily something to eventually hand in to the teacher. Actually, the homework is first and foremost a means of learning fundamental ideas and processes in mathematics, and of developing habits of neatness and accuracy. What is passed in to the teacher is only a by-product of that learning process. The following four-step routine is a suggestion for making your homestudy effective:

1. Get oriented. Take a few minutes to think back, look over your notes, and look over the book to see clearly what ideas you have been working on.

2. Line up the ideas. Think about the ideas, laws, and methods in the day’s assignment or lesson. Don’t forget to familiarize yourself with any new words in your mathematics vocabulary. Try to remind yourself of any warnings about errors to avoid that the teacher might have mentioned. Go through any examples given to be sure you really understand the concepts being illustrated.

3. Do the assignment. Think about the ideas the exercises are illustrating. You should be increasing your understanding as well as getting the answers. The following pointers will help you do a better job:

  1. Get the assignment accurately off the blackboard. Have a definite place in your notebook where you write down the assignment or lesson. If you do not understand the assignment, don’t hesitate to ask. Clear your doubts on the assignment or lesson.
  2. Follow the directions.
  3. Work neatly and accurately.
  4. Show your complete work, not just the answer. This will help you and your teacher when you are checking through for errors.
  5. Always check back to be sure you have done all simple arithmetic correctly.
  6. Do the work promptly before you have forgotten all the instructions.
  7. If you get stuck with the problem, don’t just give up! Look back at the book and your notes for ideas related to the problem. If your work on a problem seems to be completely confused, sometimes it helps to discard your paper entirely and start afresh. If you still can’t clear your thinking, ask the teacher about the problems as soon as possible.

4. Help someone else, if you can. There is no better way to learn a topic than by trying to teach it! Also, it is often helpful to call upon a classmate when you do not understand a problem. Often, they are able to explain the concept to you as well (if not better than) the teacher.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ERRORS HELP YOU LEARN

What do you do when an answer is wrong in your homework, or on a test? Do you throw it away and forget it-and then make the same mistake the next time? If you are wise, you will make those errors teach you something. Here’s what you can do:

1. Analyze the error to see if you can find what you did wrong.

2. If it is a careless error and you really knew how to do the work correctly, make a note of it, and if you find that you keep making careless errors frequently, start working more carefully.

3. If you can’t find where your error is, ask the teacher or a classmate to help you.

4. Keep a page in your notebook entitled, “Warning: Errors to Avoid.” On the same page write a description of the corrected way to do that kind of exercise, being sure to emphasize the important idea behind it.

CLASSWORK: HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME IN CLASS

1. Get ready. In the minute of two before the class gets started, think over what you have been working on recently.

2. Have all necessary equipment: book, pencils or pens, notebook, homework assignment.

3. Take down the assignment promptly and accurately.

4. Concentrate. This takes an effort if you are the kind whose mind tends to wander.

5. Ask questions when you do not understand. Don’t hesitate in asking any kind of doubts you are having.

6. Listen to the questions and answers of others in the class. When another pupil is answering a question, think how you would answer the question.

7. Take part in the class discussion.

8. Do not write at the wrong time. When you are taking notes, be sure you do not miss anything that is said while you are doing so. When taking notes, there are two conflicting things you must try to do. One is to make your notes complete and accurate enough to be valuable to you later. The other is to make your notes brief enough so that you can continue to listen to what is being said in class.

HOW TO USE THE TEXTBOOK

1. Use the index and glossary at the back of the book, especially when you have forgotten the meaning of a word.

2. When your book gives an example to illustrate an idea, analyze the example carefully for the ideas behind it instead of just trying to make your exercises look like the example.

3. If you can’t do an exercise, reread the explanatory material in the book and/or go over your class notes.

4. Make the most of the study helps at the end of each chapter.

HOW TO REVIEW FOR TESTS

1. Start reviewing far enough in advance so you have time to do a careful unhurried job, and still are able to go to bed early the night before the exam.

2. Be sure to go through your notes and the examples that are there. If they don’t make sense to you, you haven’t taken enough notes!

3. If there are some formulas for which you are responsible, make a list of them and then practice saying them, or writing them.

4. Use the review materials at the end of each chapter. If you are having trouble on a problem, go back to that section in the book and rework some problems there.

5. If you were the teacher, what questions would you ask on the test? Prepare yourself for those questions.

6. Since it is said that “practice makes perfect”, one of the better ways of studying for a test is to do some problems that were previously assigned to you. Go over your homework to be sure you understand the procedure you used in each section.

7. Get a good night’s rest the night before the exam!

8. DON’T WORRY!

HOW TO TAKE TESTS

1. When you take a test, have the right attitude – take pride in doing the best job you can. Don’t try to “get by” with doing as little as possible. Have confidence in your own ability.

2. Be serious and concerned enough about the test to do your best, but don’t worry to the point of anxiety. Fear alone can make a person do poorly on a test, regardless of his ability and knowledge.

3. Have all necessary equipment.

4. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Read carefully and listen carefully for any special instructions, such as where answers are to be written, any changes or corrections, etc.

5. Look over the whole test quickly at the start and, unless you are required to do the questions in the order given, do the ones you are sure of first.

6. If you are unable to answer a question, leave it and go on to another, coming back to the hard one later. Don’t waste time on it. Often, with a fresh start, you will suddenly see much better what to do.

7. Be careful to show clearly what you are doing. Remember that the teacher is not a mind-reader, and your grade may depend on whether or not the teacher can see from your work that you understand what you are doing.

8. Work neatly. It makes a good impression on the teacher!

9. Check back as you go along for accuracy. Careless errors can make a great deal of difference in your score.

10. With the right attitude and careful preparation for a test you probably will do well on the exam.

11. Remember: The one or two hours of the test are but brief moments in your life span so DON’T PANIC!
