Tips for Common Proficiency Test December session

With only 3 days left for the CPT December exam, conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, it's time for aspirants to brace up their first steps towards becoming a CA. The Common Proficiency Test Exam is due on December 14, 2014 to be held in a pencil paper mode. Topper Tip: All India Topper for CPT June 2014, Borra Murali Mohan, recommends on how to only revise the course in the last 3 days of exam. After clearing the exam, he is now preparing for IPCC exam and says, "I was able to clear my CPT exam in the first attempt. Students appearing for the December exam, must simply go through the concept books and reference materials provided by ICAI institute. While answering questions, length is not important but the presentation is. Aspirants for CPT must go to the exam confidently and read the paper thoroughly before answering. A bit of carelessness can lose you marks, if you don't know how to present your answer well. For only 3 days left for the exam, one must not waste time on things they don't know well and revise only what they are sure of." Ashutosh Modi, Executive Director of Entrance Prime.com suggests: A positive attitude is the key to pass the CPT and reach an inch closer to your dream of becoming a CA. With an optimistic mindset, the otherwise tough preparation will become much easier and cracking the exam will be a cakewalk for you. Don't focus on how tough the CA exams are supposed to be. Instead, concentrate your energies on reminding yourself that you can and will crack the CPT in one go! Conceptual understanding is of paramount importance while studying for the CPT. Avoid the rote method while studying. Instead, learn scrupulously by clearly understanding the syllabus. ICAI study material is sufficient to prepare you for this exam. Candidates are required to secure a minimum of 30 per cent marks in each section and minimum 50 per cent marks in aggregate in all the four sections to crack the Common Proficiency Test Exam.

Online students biased against women instructors

NEW YORK: A new study demonstrates that college students in online courses give better evaluations to instructors they think are men, even when the instructor is actually a woman.

The ratings given by the students to instructors are really important as they are used to guide higher education decisions related to hiring, promotions and tenure.

"If the results of these evaluations are inherently biased against women, we need to find ways to address that problem," said Lillian MacNell, lead author and a PhD student in sociology at North Carolina State University.

To address whether students judge female instructors differently than male instructors, the researchers evaluated a group of 43 students in an online course.

The students were divided into four discussion groups of eight to 12 students each.

A female instructor led two of the groups while a male instructor led the other two.

However, the female instructor told one of her online discussion groups that she was male, while the male instructor told one of his online groups that he was female.

Due to the format of online groups, students did not see or hear their instructor.

At the end of the course, students were asked to rate the discussion group instructors on 12 different traits, covering characteristics related to their effectiveness and interpersonal skills.

"We found that the instructor whom students thought was male received higher ratings on all 12 traits, regardless of whether the instructor was actually male or female," MacNell said.

In other words, students who thought they were being taught by women gave lower evaluation scores than students who thought they were being taught by men.

The paper appeared online in the journal Innovative Higher Education.
