Gul: Have you made any personal notes on anything that you have read? Some people make notes as they go along with their readings. Others dont, and then make notes afterwards, which are more of a precis of their original readings. I have made notes of Sociology (Sociologists, Theories, Pakistan's Issues), Indopak history and Journalism as I was reading them. Now I am done with the reading part as well and am trying to focus more on the mcq's and revision from the notes.
For indopak history, please consider consulting Azmat Farooqui's book for indopak as it is a collection of his personal notes on indopak history. Outlines are given for each question and important points are included as bullet headings, which makes it a lot easier to review. For sociology, please consider JBD's exam cram book. It has 20 key questions for sociology paper alongwith mcq's at the end. In addition, please refer to Muhammad Khalid's book Sociological Theory: A historical perspective published by kifayat academy. This book will cover all your key sociologists: Marx, comte, weber, spencer, durkheim, and ibn e khaldoon. For journalism and geography I'll post my own outlines soon, and will also post my own time table here later today inshAllah. All the best! |

Gul! 6 Books for sociology????? Less is more my lady! Thats way too many books and I feel bad for you for having to read all that material. About Azmat Farooqui's book, its basically a collection of outlines about every single topic for both paper 1 and 2, and i strongly suggest that you get it since its definitely different from any other books you have. It will serve as kind of a reinforcement of what you have previously studied. Anyway, about making notes, heres my strategy:
Once you have done a thorough reading of the material, you already have the basics in your head, notes are only a method to recall all that information by using smaller terms. Make your notes more like an outline. For example, here's the question about cultural impacts of arab conquest upon india from indopak history (also included in this year's paper): Intro: A prelude with high verbosity, include the darkness prevalent in subcontinent, the advent of islam and its prowess, and the wonderful impacts islam had the potential of leaving upon its areas of influence. dont get too much in the whole detail of raja dahir's excesses or the pirates etc. Impacts: 1: Arts - Persian paintings. 2: Music - Incorporation of arabic raga's with indian ones. 3: Architecture: Grandeur, arches, domes. 4: Language: introduction of persian and arabic in india, foundation for urdu 5: Religion: Spread of Islam, Sufism 6: Move to Egalitarianism: Class structures of india shattered 7: Education (there can be many more added to this list) Critical Analysis: - Pre-existing indian culture changed by islamic conquest - Introduction of islam as a cultural element in india. Conclusion: -Islamic culture augmented indian society -Cleared ambiguities, promoted egalitarianism, laid basis for progress. This is how i make my notes. basically they're just outlines of all the important topics so that it will take me a lot less time to go over them and refresh my mind when exams are right around the corner inshAllah. I hope this helped. Shahid: I would recommend covering as much current affairs related topics in both journalism and sociology as possible, since the recent trend has been one of making papers very general and not book-specific. |

So I think at first I should try to distinguish between what is important and what is ''aewain'' I mean unimportant for notes. Quote:

Work hard and stay relevant to syllabus and nothing else.ok. Best of luck.If you want to ask any thing then most welcome. |

@Gul
No worries at all Gul, for someone with a passion for books, any time of mine is good I am glad you got the difference between mere copying the texts from the books and making your own notes. You'd find a remarkable sense of power over your memory once you jot down the topics in your own language. I would also suggest almonds and milk along with the prep :P it really does help. Do study eds on a daily basis, rotate two compulsory and two optional subjects giving at least one hour to each everyday. I don't study in one continuous spell. Instead I keep taking little facebook/cssforum/bathroom/snack breaks after every hour or so. But devise a strategy which suits yourself the best. For any other questions please feel free to contact me on my email which can be found in my contact info on the profile All the best again. @Shahid bro, grab css syllabus book, go to the sociology page, and tear it out. Paste it on your sociology textbook, look up all the topics according to the syllabus, and give them all a thorough reading as quickly as you can. Underline sufficiently and make note of whatever jumps out as important or significant to you on a sheet of paper. Read everything another time, and then make your notes. you can cover sociology and journalism both in one month or less if you fully work on them. Following is a list of important topics: Sociology: Sociologists, their intros and theories. Personality: Anomie thoery, looking glass self, Freud's id ego super ego etc. Culture, its branches, subcultures, subcultures in pakistan etc. Deviance, deviance in pakistan Social mobility, ways of social mobility in pakistan. crime in pakistan education in pakistan family in pakistan drug abuse in pakistan urbanization in pakistan. Journalism: Communication: definitions, modes and methods, processes etc. Media: Types of media, its role, forms and types, yellow journalism etc. News: Newspaper, editor, role of editors and columnists etc. Current scenario as in what is the importance of news media in todays world etc. Advertisement: Very important, cover it all. History: Journalism in subcontinent, journalism before 1857, journalism and pakistan movement, role of journalists in creation of pakistan. Role of media in society, media and dictatorship, medias role in democracy, media a menace or messiah etc. Last edited by Andrew Dufresne; Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 03:54 AM. |
