Critical reading involves analyzing a text beyond just understanding it at a surface level. It requires asking questions about the strengths and weaknesses of arguments presented in the text. Some key aspects of critical reading include determining an author's purpose and viewpoint, separating facts from opinions, evaluating logic and evidence, and deciding whether to accept or reject the information. To be a critical reader, one should reflect carefully on what a text says, describes, and means by asking questions about the author's qualifications, potential biases, and missing information. Taking notes, marking up the text, and reading slowly and openly are important practices for developing critical reading abilities.Writing skill

Knowledge is a fundamental aspect of human understanding, evolving through different dimensions and perspectives. The nature of knowledge varies depending on its scope, application, and contextual relevance. In this lecture, we explore four key distinctions in knowledge: Particular vs. Universal, Concrete vs. Abstract, Practical vs. Theoretical, and Textual vs. Contextual. Each of these dichotomies helps us comprehend how knowledge is categorized, interpreted, and applied across different fields of study.

Viceroys of India & Their Tenure Key Events During British RuleDeeptiKumari61
油
The British Raj in India (1857-1947) saw significant events under various Viceroys, shaping the political, economic, and social landscape.
**Early Period (1856-1888):**
Lord Canning (1856-1862) handled the Revolt of 1857, leading to the British Crown taking direct control. Universities were established, and the Indian Councils Act (1861) was passed. Lord Lawrence (1864-1869) led the Bhutan War and established High Courts. Lord Lytton (1876-1880) enforced repressive laws like the Vernacular Press Act (1878) and Arms Act (1878) while waging the Second Afghan War.
**Reforms & Political Awakening (1880-1905):**
Lord Ripon (1880-1884) introduced the Factory Act (1881), Local Self-Government Resolution (1882), and repealed the Vernacular Press Act. Lord Dufferin (1884-1888) oversaw the formation of the Indian National Congress (1885). Lord Lansdowne (1888-1894) passed the Factory Act (1891) and Indian Councils Act (1892). Lord Curzon (1899-1905) introduced educational reforms but faced backlash for the Partition of Bengal (1905).
**Rise of Nationalism (1905-1931):**
Lord Minto II (1905-1910) saw the rise of the Swadeshi Movement and the Muslim League's formation (1906). Lord Hardinge II (1910-1916) annulled Bengals Partition (1911) and shifted Indias capital to Delhi. Lord Chelmsford (1916-1921) faced the Lucknow Pact (1916), Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (1919), and Non-Cooperation Movement. Lord Reading (1921-1926) dealt with the Chauri Chaura Incident (1922) and the formation of the Swaraj Party. Lord Irwin (1926-1931) saw the Simon Commission protests, the Dandi March, and the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931).
**Towards Independence (1931-1947):**
Lord Willingdon (1931-1936) introduced the Government of India Act (1935), laying India's federal framework. Lord Linlithgow (1936-1944) faced WWII-related crises, including the Quit India Movement (1942). Lord Wavell (1944-1947) proposed the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946) and negotiated British withdrawal. Lord Mountbatten (1947-1948) oversaw India's Partition and Independence on August 15, 1947.
**Final Transition:**
C. Rajagopalachari (1948-1950), Indias last Governor-General, facilitated Indias transition into a republic before the position was abolished in 1950.
The British Viceroys played a crucial role in Indias colonial history, introducing both repressive and progressive policies that fueled nationalist movements, ultimately leading to independence.https://www.youtube.com/@DKDEducationEarly 20th Century Modern Art: Movements and Artists

Cleft lip, also known as cheiloschisis, is a congenital deformity characterized by a split or opening in the upper lip due to the failure of fusion of the maxillary processes. Cleft lip can be unilateral or bilateral and may occur along with cleft palate. Cleft palate, also known as palatoschisis, is a congenital condition characterized by an opening in the roof of the mouth caused by the failure of fusion of the palatine processes. This condition can involve the hard palate, soft palate, or both.Introduction to Systematic Reviews - Prof Ejaz Khan

Active reading and annotating
- 1. Active Reading Have you ever read something only to realize you have no idea what you read? Have you ever looked back over something youve read and realized that you highlighted or underlined almost the whole page? Have you ever done poorly on a test, quiz, or essay even though you did the reading? If youve answered yes, you may have been stuck in a passive reading mindset. This wont work in college!
- 2. AnnotatingA Key to Active Reading To become a more active reader, think of yourself as in dialogue with the text you are reading. Do not just highlight or underline, but also write in the margins of your text if you can (or in a notebook if you cannot). This is called annotating. Write questions. Note why something is important. Argue with the author. Tell the author why you agree with him or her. Record your surprise at something you have read.
- 3. Example of Strong, Thorough Annotations This is an annotated poem, but you get the idea.
- 4. Why Become an Active Reader? This approach will help you better remember what you have read. You will also start to develop a critical perspective on the reading and place it in relation to other texts you have read. In class, you will not only be able to say what the text said; you also will have something to say about itthis practice enables you to analyze!
- 5. How to Annotate Here are some kinds of responses you might want to write in marginal or other notes: Questions (to the author, to yourself, to the professor) What the text makes you wonder or want to learn more about Connections/comparisons to other readings or your life Critique of the argument Extensions (x could also apply to y) How the text connects, to contradicts, or complicates your own thinking
- 6. Practicing Annotations Read ALL of Zemlianskys chapter on argument. It is a longer piece, so you only have to print and practice annotating pages 11-12. This will take longer than you may be used to, but it will result in three benefits: 1. Youll be able to contribute to a discussion. 2. Youll be able to write about the concepts more easily. 3. Youll have a better understanding and memory of what you read.
