what are your habits as computer science when studying?

Don't study to pass the exam or even to pass the class; study to actually learn! A personal saying of mine might help get the point across: I would rather get an F while learning a <bleep>load than an A in a class where I've learned nothing.

So how do you study to learn:

  • Never believe what the book or the professor tells you until you can prove it yourself via your own efforts. For example, I am currently reading "On Computable Numbers" by Alan Turing. For the first time--instead of just absorbing what Alan has to say--I am questioning every last sentence. I am questioning it as if "modern" theoretical CS had redefined itself.  
    • Look in the algorithm and theoretical CS topics for my questions. Examine my debates with other CS people in comment threads. Don't assume that commenters with funny letters behind their names have all the answers. Find your own answers.
  • Always try to relate what you learn back to real life.
    • If you're taking an algorithms class, think about a real-life example of that algorithm, not the one the book gives.
      • When thinking about sorting, imagine the real-world sorts you do. Why would you pick different algorithms for each. Debate the pros and cons of each option.
  • When in doubt about a technical point, write some code or make something to prove to yourself that you understand the underlying concept.
    • When I took Theory of Computation, the innerworkings of Turing machines made no sense, but after writing a simulator for a TM, the concepts sprang to life, making perfect sense. I extended my learning beyond the pages of the book, enabling me to debate the technical definitons when I started reading "On Computable Numbers."
  • Attempt to figure out why both the book and the underlying theory are*WRONG,* though the book explains why it is right.   
    • If nothing else, you will learn the arguments very well, and you might even discover something new.
  • Come up with the most insane examples, then test your crazy theories to see if they still work.
    • In software engineering, for instance, goto is considered harmful, but don't take this at face value. Find a case where goto is not harmful (hint: in 25+ years of trying, I still can't find one).
  • ASK questions in class, realizing that there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Microprocessor 8086 special

The best and most effective source is to learn from a lab. You can approach any engineering college near to your location and ask a professor of “microprocessor and micro controller” to teach you about mp on Saturdays and sundays and provide lab facility to you.

If the above method doesn't suit you just ask for a book of microprocessor from any student of that college.

You can also download any microprocessor emulator on your phone and learn programming for 8085 as well as 8086.

Google microprocessor programming and you will find loads of stuff about microprocessor

You may not know the exact amounts, but you probably think the answer is, “Too much money.” According to research from 40 countries that probed the thoughts of CEOs, cabinet ministers, and unskilled employees, we all think leaders should be paid less.
