Legal method skills include: • handling, applying and interpreting law reports; • handling, applying and interpreting UK legislation and delegated legislation; • handling, applying and interpreting European Community legislation, treaties generally, and human rights law; • argument construction and deconstruction; • answering legal questions, both problems and essays; • legal reading and writing skills; • oral argument skills. 1.3.1.4 Substantive legal knowledge skills (for example, criminal law and tort– which, of course, are dealt with in your discrete courses) So, as you can see, there are many skills to be acquired and these are set out in diagrammatic form in Figure 1.2, below, to give another way of seeing the interrelationships between the range of skills. Deficiency in one group of skills can affect performance in all areas. It is possible to divide sub-skills into even smaller constituent parts and the diagram does this merely to illustrate the complex nature of the undertaking of such studies. This complexity is not peculiar to the law either. If the course being undertaken was life sciences, again one would need similar generic skills of: • general study skills; • language usage skills (and perhaps foreign language skills); • scientific method skills; • understanding of substantive science subjects. Students who think that it is enough to memorise chunks of their substantive law subjects are unsuccessful. They do not understand the need for the skills required in the other main areas of general study skills: English language skills, method skills, critical thinking and the balance of expertise required among them. All of these skills need to be identified; students need to know which skills they have a basic competency in, which skills they are deficient in and which skills they are good at. Then, each skill needs to be developed to the student’s highest possible competency.

Examination stress is a ubiquitous phenomenon that has, in the present times, adversely affected the learning outcomes and performance of the students at all levels- primary, secondary or higher education. It’s increasing intensity specifically among students appearing for high stakes board examination evokes a response from the teaching fraternity at the earliest. The reason being that a prolonged experience of stress with respect to evaluative situations is bound to prove detrimental to the mental, physical and emotional well-being of the students. For the nation to develop and progress towards a knowledge society, it is imperative that the students are taught to cope with stressful stimuli and improve performance. Study-Skills Training is an intervention intended to improve their study and test- taking habits and skills. It is based on a cognitive-deficit model which is directed towards improving a variety of cognitive activities that affect the organization, processing and retrieval of information and thereby help in reducing the experience of examination stress. Systematic desensitization as a process can be used to unlearn anxiety reactions by replacing the anxiety response with a calm, relaxed state. Thus, a combination of study-skills training and systematic desensitization has been shown to be effective and superior in alleviating test anxiety

Abstract This is a general study of twisted Calabi–Yau algebras that are $\mathbb {N}$ -graded and locally finite-dimensional, with the following major results. We prove that a locally finite graded algebra is twisted Calabi–Yau if and only if it is separable modulo its graded radical and satisfies one of several suitable generalizations of the Artin–Schelter regularity property, adapted from the work of Martinez-Villa as well as Minamoto and Mori. We characterize twisted Calabi–Yau algebras of dimension 0 as separable k-algebras, and we similarly characterize graded twisted Calabi–Yau algebras of dimension 1 as tensor algebras of certain invertible bimodules over separable algebras. Finally, we prove that a graded twisted Calabi–Yau algebra of dimension 2 is noetherian if and only if it has finite GK dimension.
