What is the difference between training and development?

The basic difference between training and development is:

Training helps to make the employee of a company to be more effective and efficient in the present role and
responsibilities of the job i.e. fulfill short term needs of any company but development helps to improve the overall
personality dimensions of an employee to take up any future assignments if any and better equipped to handle any
critical situations might occur i.e. fulfill long term needs of any company.
What is on and Off the Job Training?
On-the-job training is a type of learning process that usually occurs in an actual work environment i.e. an employee
will be learning the new job roles and responsibilities while undergoing this training.
Off-the-job training is a type of learning process that usually occurs out of an actual work environment. This
involves case analysis, lectures, presentation, simulation games etc. to imbibe the concepts and brainstorm
ideas in an effective ma

How would you ensure that the training is effective for an employee within the company?
The training is effective in all means if it
Imparts new skills
Inculcates new ideas, knowledge and concepts
Is practical oriented
Not an information dump
Aligns the training needs to fulfill the organizational short and long term goals
Conducts the post evaluation to ensure the satisfaction levels to refine the future training needs

Diagramming Techniques: Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games)
Effective diagramming techniques is critical to your success on the LSAT analytical reasoning section.
There are a few people who can look at a logic game and ace it without any diagrams. If you are one
of those people then you do not need this course. For the rest of us, excellent diagramming skills are
required. This lesson is mean to introduce you to some diagramming techniques for LSAT Logic
Games. None of these techniques are set in stone. Every student must use the techniques that work
best for them.
Any good diagramming system must be:
Fast you must be able to express ideas in shorthand to save time
Neat messy notations will cost you points
Easy to Understand You must instantly understand what your notations mean
Here we suggest some notation and diagramming techniques. When you have completed this tutorial
you can find additional diagramming instruction in our Logic Games explanations.
Entities: One of the first steps in setting up your diagram is write down a letter or number to
represent each of your entites. Each game will have a list of entities that will be placed into an order
or groups or both. Start by writing down this list of entites. For example: you are told that there are 5
different dogs in a race and they are a Labrador, Mixed Breed, Newfoundland, Poodle, and a Schauzer.
Record this list of entities as follows:
L M N P S
Notice that we only used one letter for Mixed Breed. There is no sense in confusing yourself with
additional letters. Keep it to one letter per entity. Also notice that the entities are given in alphabetical
order. This is usually the case on the LSAT. However, they will often leave our a letter or two to
confuse you. Some students will unwittingly insert that letter by force of habit. For example in this
question many students might just add in the letter O because the are used to O following L M N.
Make sure your list of entities matches those given.
Now that we have our list of entities we can move on to the diagram itself.
Basic Linear Sequence Game set up:
A Linear Sequence Game will ask you to place a set of entities in order. This could be expressed in a
number of ways including: 1st to 6th, First to Last, Monday to Friday, Top to Bottom, Front to Back,
etc.
In order to make a place for each entity in your diagram simply put an underline for each space where
an entity will go. So if we are told to list five dogs in order from fastest to slowest we can set up our
game as follows:

We now have 5 spots for our 5 dogs. If you want you could put F and S at the ends of the diagram to
represent that it goes from Fastest to Slowest. This is usually not necessary and can waste time when
you are re-drawing your diagram. If you chose to include this extra notation make sure that the F and
S do not match any of your entities. For example if you had a Schnauzer as one of your dog types you
would not want to have S for Schauzer and S for slowest. One way you can avoid this is to put the f
and s for fast and slow in lower case.
Now that you have your basic diagram for a Linear Sequence game set up we move on to inserting
our rules.
Fixed entity: If we are told that an entity is placed in one spot then we can just fill that directly into
the diagram. This is the easiest type of rule to include. For example if we are told that the Schnauzer
will be 3rd fastest then we can include it as follows:

Not in that spot: If we are told that a particular entity does not go in a particular spot we should add
that directly to our diagram by putting the entity under that spot and desginating that it does not go
there. There are number of ways to desginate that the entity does not go there. You can put a slash
through it, or put ~ in front of the entity. Find one that works best for you. For example if we are told
the the Poodle is not the fastest dog we can include it in our diagram as follows:

Here or There Pair notation:
This notation is used when two entities are going to fill two spots but we dont know which entity is in
which spot. For example if K and T must be in spots 2 and 3. We know we either have K in 2 and T in
3 or T in 2 and K in 3.
The way to express this with the Here or There Pair notation is as follows:

What this means is that as soon as we place K or T we know exactly where the other entity must go.
If we place K we know where T is and vice versa.
If then Notation:
Use an arrow for If then statements. Just rewrite the if then statement replacing If and then with
arrows. Also remember to shorten the entity to the first letter.
For example the statement: If Albert is included then Bert is also included. Can be expressed as:
A B
Also if we are told: If Gary is fifth then Wilma will be first. Can be expressed as:
G 5th W 1st
For more on if then statements see the Logical Reasoning Tutorial.
Spots Between notation:
If we are told that entities are a specific number of spots apart simply insert that many blank lines
between them. For example: Two runners come after Sarah but before Fred. Can be expressed as:
S __ __ F
This can be combined with the Here or There Pair notation.
Example: Two runners come between Sarah and Fred.
S/F __ __ F/S
Grouping Game Diagrams:
In a Grouping game you are given a list of entities and asked to place them in groups.. A good
diagram is essential for a Grouping game and you will often need to re-draw the diagram for each
question. There are more diagramming tips on setting up grouping games in ourGrouping Game
Tutorial. We recommentd that you first complete this tutorial, then learn about Question Stems and
then try some sample Linear Sequence Games before moving on to Grouping Games.
Diagrams and Notation tip:
When you are done with your diagram and notation it should be a complete representation of the
entire game set up. What this means is that you should be able to understand everything you need to
know about the game without referring to the introductory paragraph, game set up or rules of the
game. It should all be expressed in your diagram and notations. You should never have to look back
at the original game set up text once your diagram and rules notations are complete.
Directions: Each group of questions in this section is based on a set of conditions. In answering some of
the questions, it may be useful to draw a rough diagram. Choose the response that most accurately and
completely answers the question.


Early in the morning, exactly seven fans - Fiona, Georgia, Heather, Ian, John, Kilgore and Lumina -
formed a line, trying to get tickets to their favorite band's last concert on tour. These seven are the only
fans standing in the line. The following conditions apply to the line they formed:

Fiona is standing in front of Ian.
John is standing in front of Heather.
If John is not first in line, Lumina is standing somewhere in front of him.
Ian is standing immediately in front of or immediately behind Kilgore.


1. Which one of the following could be an exact formation of the line (first name is first in line)?

(A) Fiona, John, Georgia, Kilgore, Ian, Lumina, Heather
(B) Lumina, Georgia, Fiona, John, Ian, Kilgore, Heather
(C) Kilgore, Fiona, Ian, Georgia, Lumina, John, Heather
(D) John, Lumina, Heather, Ian, Kilgore, Fiona, Georgia
(E) Fiona, Lumina, Heather, John, Kilgore, Ian, Georgia

2. If Heather, Kilgore and Lumina are the last three fans in line, not necessarily in that order, then
which one of the following could be the order in which the first four fans are standing (first name
is first in line)?

(A) John, Fiona, Georgia, Ian
(B) Ian, Georgia, John, Fiona
(C) John, Fiona, Ian, Georgia
(D) Fiona, John, Georgia, Ian
(E) Ian, Fiona, John, Georgia

General Game Explanation

The Rules:
Seven people in line - F, G, H, I, J, K, L
F in front of I
J in front of H
J ~1st a L in front of J
IK or KI

Derivatives:
If J is in front of L in line, it means that J is first in line:
J in front of L J is 1st
Because K and I are immediately in front of or immediately behind one another,
then F is not only in front of I but also in front of K:
F in front of K

General Setup:
The setup contains 7 places for the 7 friends in line:
first last



Answering question 1:
In a question asking for a possible complete arrangement according to the
rules, every response that violates any of the rules should be eliminated.
The correct answer is the one that does not violate any of the rules.

(A) According to the rules, if John is not first, then Lumina should stand in
front of him in line. In this response Lumina is standing behind John who is
not first in line, therefore this is not the correct answer.
(B) This setup does not violate any of the rules, and therefore this is the
correct answer.
(C) According to the rules, Kilgore and Ian are standing immediately in front of
or behind one another. In this response Kilgore is first in line and Ian is
third and therefore this is not the correct answer.
(D) According to the rules, Fiona should stand in front of Ian in line. In this
response Fiona is standing behind Ian, therefore this is not the correct
answer.
(E) According to the rules, John should stand in front of Heather in line. In this
response John is standing behind Heather, therefore this is not the correct
answer.

The correct answer is (B).




Answering question 2:
In a question asking for a possible complete arrangement according to the rules,
every response that violates any of the rules should be eliminated.
The correct answer is the one that does not violate any of the rules.

John is one of the first four fans in line and Lumina is one of the last three fans in
line. This means that John is standing in front of Lumina. According to the
derivatives, 'J in front of L J is 1st'. Because John is in front of Lumina, then John
must be first in line.
Thus, responses (B), (D) and (E) are eliminated.

Ian is one of the first four fans in line, while Kilgore is one of the last three. Ian and
Kilgore must stand immediately in front of or behind one other. Therefore Ian must
be fourth and Kilgore fifth. Any other setup would contradict the rule 'IK or KI '.
Thus, response (C) is eliminated.

The correct answer is (A).
