SUNY Brockport Tutoring Programs - How to Find the Best SchoolsThe SUNY Brockport is located in the upstate New York, and as an educational institution that offers many opportunities for those looking to further their education, it is a good place to get a program online. Those who are interested in being tutored by an actual SUNY Brockport student can choose to do so at the Brockport campus, or through their website, SunyTutors.com. The reason is that the SUNY Brockport offers the flexibility of attending classes on campus and also has a non-campus tutoring option available, and of course, in some cases, online learning is also an option.When you are considering any school, whether at SUNY Brockport or some other school, you have to find out if it is accredited. A good accreditation means that it meets the standards that many other schools need to meet in order to be approved by their state's Department of Education. This means that the school itself is considered to be accredited, and their official websites will list which institutions they meet. If you look on the SUNY Brockport website, you will find all the accreditation they need to meet all state requirements.The SUNY Brockport website offers many opportunities for you to get involved in the school. For example, a few years ago, SUNY Brockport ran a campaign of helping people earn college degrees with an online college preparatory program. In this case, if you earned a college degree, you could go on to earn a SUNY Brockport degree, which is a popular degree these days, as it can transfer easily to many other colleges and universities.The school also has its own branch in the United Kingdom, the British University at the Brockport Campus. In many cases, SUNY Brockport students can get a Bachelors degree and can transfer it to another institution that offers such a program, so students have the opportunity to complete two degrees. While the degree is different from the one you received at SUNY Brockport, it is still an excellent university program for those seeking an education beyond what they received at SUNY Brockport.Students who are considering going to SUNY Brockport, should be aware that the accreditation does not apply to all SUNY Brockport schools, however, most of them do, as they are in compliance with all the criteria of the accreditation process.

Should I Retake the MCAT

Should I Retake the MCAT MCAT Medical School Admissions Application season is quickly approaching, which means that Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) score reports from last year and this winter break are beginning to be released. While some students will achieve their target scores, others may fall just short of their goals. Many students are then faced with the question of, “Should I retake my MCAT?” This prompts a myriad of other questions along with it. Below we’ll discuss when you should consider signing up for a retake and what to consider if you decide to take the test again. First, it is important to consider what your ambitions are in terms of medical school. Some questions to consider: Are you particularly set on certain schools or location? How competitive are those programs? What are the average MCAT scores of matriculated students? How strong is the rest of your application in comparison to your MCAT score? These questions should help guide your decision process. Since the introduction of the new MCAT 2015, the scoring has been solidified into percentiles and most schools have collected enough data to report average accepted and matriculant scores. To put things into a numerical perspective, if you’re familiar with the MCAT prior to 2015 the new ‘30’ is approximately a 508. This score along with an A/B grade point average and significant extracurricular activities should give you some opportunities to interview at a few programs. Obviously, these factors are on a spectrum, and a higher GPA or more extracurriculars may be able to make up for a slightly lower score, while a higher MCAT score may make up for lacking grades or extracurriculars. However, this is roughly thebaseline range you should be working towards for entry into a United States medical school. So suppose you met the qualifications listed above, what are some reasons you might still consider a retake? One reason many students give is that their practice test scores were significantly higher and their qualifications are otherwise excellent. This makes their MCAT score the limiting factor in their application. In this situation, there are a few considerations to make when deciding whether to retake, the first of these being the conditions your practice tests were taken under as compared to those on test day. It is essential when taking practice exams to mimic the environment your test will occur under. This means no extra resources, no cell phones, Facebook, similar time for starting the exam and for breaks, and practicing with exams that are similar in terms of content and difficulty to the actual MCAT. These factors are not easy to mimic, however; I find that students often give themselves small advantages such as starting off with a formula sheet that boosts their score on practice exams, resulting in a drop in the true MCAT score. If this is the case, you may want to consider retaking the test. Another factor that students often shy away from talking about is test anxiety. Even medical students suffer from severe test anxiety! Anecdotally, many of my friends in school have shared how mentally and physically challenging taking the MCAT was for them. Unfortunately, anxiety can affect exam scores. Taking a practice exam compared to the actual MCAT is a very different experience. I encourage you to ask yourself if you believe this may have impacted your performance and how you might be able to address this if you should decide to retake. Taking exams is one of the tougher hurdles in medicine and it is advantageous to develop strategies to cope with anxiety and improve performance. Students should also consider their performance in the subsections of the MCAT. For example, if the student did very well in three out of four sections but poorly in one section that resulted in a low composite score, a retake is strongly recommended. Admissions committees tend to favor balanced test scores and improving a single section is often an easier task than improving a composite score. If you fall under this category, try to reflect on why that section was particularly weak and how you plan to improve in the retake. While these factors are all very important considerations, by far the most important factor to contemplate before retaking the test is your future performance on a second MCAT. Since schools receive a report of all scores you receive on the MCAT, it is essential that your performance improves. A second score that is lower than the first outside of the typical margin of error is considered very poorly by most schools and can negatively impact how your application is viewed during the application cycle. Because of this, you really want to make sure that you will perform significantly better than your first exam. Should you decide to retake your MCAT, I encourage you to seek out new resources for your exam preparation and keep track of your performance on practice exams. The key to increasing your MCAT score is really planning and diligently following a study schedule (a private tutor can also help you with this, if that's something you're considering and are having trouble staying organized and focused on your study plan). There is so much benefit in getting a second pass at the material on your MCAT and looking at it with the experience of having already tak en the exam before. An improved exam score can be a huge benefit to your application and show many admissions committees that you are able to reflect and improve your performance on a difficult exam.

Unschooling

Unschooling There is a discussion going on in America about what went wrong in the past years to decades. This discussion is not limited to about what went wrong in our financial and regulatory systems that caused this economic recession. The change permeates many areas of life including education. While we came to think that public schools is the only and best way to educate our children there are new concepts out there that promise a better future for our young ones. One of these new concepts is Unschooling. Wikipedia defines Unschooling as a set of educational philosophies and practices centered on allowing children to learn through their natural life experiences, including child directed play, game play, household responsibilities, work experience, and social interaction, rather than through a more traditional school curriculum. Unschooling encourages exploration of activities led by the children themselves, facilitated by the adults. Unschooling differs from conventional schooling principally in the thesis that standard curricula and conventional grading methods, as well as other features of traditional schooling, are counterproductive to the goal of maximizing the education of each child. Looking at the definition of Unschooling one can easily see an relation to homeschooling. Homeschooled children are taught typically by parents and sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal settings of public or private school. At home they can more easily follow their natural curiosities and explore subjects of personal interests. Public schools tend to be more structured as a student must follow the curriculum and learn at the pace the teacher and peers dictate. Critics of home schooling and unschooling tend to view it as an extreme educational philosophy. They are concerned that unschooled children will lack the social skills, structure, and motivation of their peers, especially in the job market. Proponents of unschooling claim exactly the opposite is true: self-directed education in a natural environment makes a child more equipped to handle the real world. The general public has a perception about homeschoolers that they cant talk to people. In my view this common perception is entirely wrong. I found talking to young home schooled kids a delight as they are curious about life and ask questions that even an adult can challenge intellectually. Probably a nice way to describe unschooling is to say to learn from life and follow your passion. Home schooled kids go through life with eyes wide open and tend to generate novel ideas. And many new ideas come from unexpected sources. Thats what is needed to foster the change America is in need right now. For example, the organic whole food movement of the past years did not come from MBA educated thinkers of big food businesses but come the grass root thinkers at the bottom. No matter what age youre no matter whats our background you can learn in life. But the ability to learn must be learnt itself. Public schools tend to stifle the natural curiosity of children while unschooled kids tend to take more initiative in learning by their own. There is such an abundance to learn in life. Whether youre interested in history, science, writing, acting, sports, science, computer programming, web design or Spanish there is no much information and help out there to satisfy your learning curiosity. I myself use the Web heavily for my personal and professional growth. Quite often before I work on a new area I Google it or watch Youtube on the topic. It is amazing but I almost ever found the information I was looking for. Also professionally I constantly educate my self using the web in areas such as PHP and MySql programming, machine learning and SEO marketing. Although I want to school for 18 years I feel that most of the knowledge learnt there was not that appl icable to life. Granted learning Russian language and historic materialism in East Germany is probably an rare case of wasted knowledge). But even my math education was overdone: I dont use matrices and differential equations in my daily life. But today when I learn about business, economics and programming I feel that this is very applicable. And I get all this knowledge for very little money from the web, youtube videos, torrent media or from books conveniently bought at Amazon. Some progress towards unschool has alredy been made in the past. Thanks to the homeschooling laws of the past 10 years children can be taught at home by their parents (at leas in California and some other rstates). We also have seen the creation of community centers. Here homeschooled students have access to professors, computer Internet, books and local news. Sometimes they have even labs (science, languages) where homeschooled children have the also the same equipment resources as public school students. In summary, unschooling promises to be more effective and less costly for of education than that of traditional public and private schools. Unschooling centers around the learners curiosities, natural life and work experiences. The legal possibility of unschooling exists already today; and so do many resources. Whats the big challenge is for parents and self learner to unlearn the ingrained patterns of scholastic learning and transition to self-direct form of learning.

Choosing your destination

Choosing your destination By Thiago SilvaSo you decided to step out of your comfort zone and explore other cultures while teaching English - now where should you start? While there is no right or wrong answer to this question, there are a few steps you can take to make your search more effective.One of the first things you should do is assess your qualifications. Do you have a university degree? Have you taken a TESL certification course? Have you ever taught English? Maybe you have volunteer experience at a summer camp, for example, and that experience can strengthen your application if you are applying to teach kids.

12 Tips to Consider When Getting in Shape

12 Tips to Consider When Getting in Shape //d3p7mn7jyeu9ms.cloudfront.net/cee54ef6b4b2608b58f73e80607f8bf3%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmedia-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2F736x%2Fa8%2F90%2F0f%2Fa8900f125c24283f342d7c1e9d633b50.jpg 2. Change it up:  A repetitive workout routine will become tired, leaving you disinterested and bored. So mix it up a little bit: mix and match workout tapes or use Pinterest to create different exercise routines for each workout. The bottom line is to get creative with your workouts. Don’t let yourself get bored or quitting will be that much easier. //d2wa2tyobqx1pp.cloudfront.net/c6a20dc4aabfd5c389bf988eee687012%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fthethreadaffect.files.wordpress.com%2Fuloop%2Fw%3D628%26r%3D305%2Fjpg%2F2012%2F02%2Ffebabs.jpg 3. Starving Yourself Isn’t a Diet:  I know that cleanses are a fad in the workout world at the moment, but starving yourself or drinking your food isn’t exactly healthy. The best way to diet: eat healthy. Simple as that. Avoid snack foods and stick to the basic food groups. Don’t skip out on proteins and don’t be afraid to eat fruits and vegetables. So long as you put the bag of Cheetos down, you’re stepping in the right direction. //d27ql944xr9meu.cloudfront.net/32555029194eeb3572d29e78d3c93055%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.lhsfna.org%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FLHSFNA%2Fassets%2FImage%2FJuicing45.jpg 4. You Don’t Need a Partner to Exercise:  Don’t wait for that one time your friend is available; make sure your workout is getting done when YOU want it to. If your friend is available and wants to workout with you, great! It’s always easier to workout when someone else is pushing you, but don’t allow friends to dictate your workout schedule. //d1d20t9fkd7io6.cloudfront.net/ef10d8a72e3f5ee9f3ae05f664b0bc56%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmotocrossactionmag.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FUploads%2FPublic%2FImages%2F5b818a6c39cda4a968d8km80e30350ba370154631ed809d6543fb1c128b17c6c99-1.jpg 5. Music Can Go A Long Way:  If you’re a music fan, load your iPod up with your favorite songs and exercise away. Try and stick to songs with quick beats that amp you up; that way, you are enjoying your workout and the fast-paced music is more likely to get you moving. //d27ql944xr9meu.cloudfront.net/a9089ef82bcde9061412c5ac5e32ca5b%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fvalleygirlblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fgirl-with-ipod.jpg 6. Get Outside:  Don’t force yourself to use the elliptical or treadmill everyday. Find a trail nearby or take a quick jog around your park. A change of scenery is always a good thing, and you’re more likely to run longer when entertained by a new environment. //d2ov68p9vqf0gt.cloudfront.net/f356dbb0cf707cbcf85064d40782ebae%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmoviewriternyu.files.wordpress.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2F2013%2F01%2Frunning-outside.jpg 7. Have a Dynamic Workout:  Don’t forget that running isn’t the only workout. Exercising everything is the best way to get in shape, and just the occasional jog isn’t exactly a well-rounded workout. So mix it up while you’re at the gym, and be sure to work more than one muscle group. //d1qpyd3pu6qx6u.cloudfront.net/eccfddb2605605cf91a1074e8a393024%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.gymprofessor.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Ffiles%2F5113%2F4574%2F8778%2Fendurance-gym-workout.jpg 8. Give Yourself a Break:  Don’t kill yourself trying to workout everyday. Odds are, it isn’t going to happen. Set a schedule for yourself of how many days a week you’d (reasonably) like to exercise. Don’t forget to give yourself the breaks your body needs to have a successful exercise routine. //d1d20t9fkd7io6.cloudfront.net/4df415a57bde434ee45cfd965ba0185e%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fcommunity.runnersworld.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2FfileSendAction%2FfcType%2F0%2FfcOid%2F72370443375264129%2FfilePointer%2F72229705927922154%2Ffodoid%2F72229705927922150%2FimageType%2FMEDIUM%2FinlineImage%2Ftrue%2Frest%2520day.jpg 9. Don’t Get Discouraged:  We’ve all stepped on the scale and been disappointed by what we’ve seen. Don’t let it discourage you. If one week you don’t lose weight, it doesn’t mean you won’t ever lose weight. Use the scale more as a reference guide than a means of motivation and you’ll be less likely to get down on yourself for the less successful weeks. //d15yd2pup8u1d3.cloudfront.net/9afcf8bde6bb21b9371613b349e9e6ff%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.prevention.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fimagecache%2Fssm_600w%2Fstatic%2Fscale-600x450_1.jpg 10. Don’t Spend a Fortune, But Don’t Be Cheap:  It’d be ridiculous to buy every exercise machine you find, but don’t forget that it’s still important to have the right equipment. Sometimes the cheap road isn’t the right road. Going to the gym for equipment is probably your safest bet for the best equipment. However, don’t count out exercise tapes; for a student on a budget, they may just save your bank account. //d2gk0uetp1q970.cloudfront.net/217f3aeb2b65cecd0eda35a31ef028be%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fmac.magicdvdripper.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fuploads%2Fimages%2Fmagicdvdripperformac%2Fsupport%2Fburn-insanity-workout-dvd-mac.jpg 11. Be Realistic:  Set goals that are achievable. Don’t tell yourself you will lose all the weight you want to in a week, because you probably won’t. Set realistic goals in increments to make sure that you’re achieving them in a healthy and safe way. //d3p7mn7jyeu9ms.cloudfront.net/b8234f336eee3bfd8fecc1e42ba42383%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Fwww.tcpersonaltraining.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F01%2Fttatatshshshkdhkdhkskshksh.jpg 12. Satisfy Your Cravings: This is probably the weirdest piece of advice you’ve been given in regards to being healthy, but it is probably the most important. Don’t shut down your cravings: It’ll only make them worse later on. So instead, compromise. Have a chocolate bar when you crave it and make up for it in your workout by doing a few extra pushups or running an extra 2 minutes. That way, your craving is satisfied and it hasn’t set you back all that much. //dihmh4v20db76.cloudfront.net/33c4ca3b75527b7c50016c6ab9ee12b8%2F565x0xwidth%2F75%2Fhttp%2Ftechglam.com%2Fuloop%2Fr%3D305%2Fjpg%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2Ftips-to-control-cravings.jpg

The Spring Guide To De-Stressing

The Spring Guide To De-Stressing Photo courtesy of Pixabay. Cleansing activities abound in our society from juice fasts to sauna sweats, we have our pick on how we chose to rid ourselves of poisons. First, however, Id like to focus on getting rid of the root poison that is preventing us from feeling the lightness that spring has to offer: stress. April is National Stress Awareness Month, which begs us to first become aware of what stress really is, and what areas it should influence (or not influence) in our lives. Acute stress, described as good stress, is stress that keeps us on our toes and makes us strive for more; in other words, its a positive motivator. Chronic stress is the type that lingers in our day-to-day life and has negative effects on our health. According to an article featured in  Psychology Today: [Stress]  dampens the immune system and dries out the digestive tract, setting the stage for disorders from irritable bowel syndrome to ulcerative colitis. It impairs  memory  and in extreme cases fuels anxiety. It can even gnaw away at the ends of chromosomes, thereby accelerating cellular aging. In other words, chronic stress can be a serious threat to our well-being, and in our fast-paced world, extremely hard to escape. The following strategies unite the mind and body in combating stress, holding the theory that if the body can suffer due to the effect of stress on the mind, the body and mind must work together in order to relax and revive. De-stressing the Mind Read to Relaxation According to the  Telegraph, just six minutes of reading a day can reduce stress levels by more than two-thirds. Psychologists at mind lab International at the University of Sussex believe that the act of reading forces the mind to concentrate on text and comprehension, causing the reader to essentially escape from a stressful mind. Researchers also reported that reading lowered stress even more than common stress-relievers, such as listening to music, going for a walk or settling down with a cup of tea. Call Mom New research featured in  Scientific American  reports that hearing your mothers voice can initiate the same biochemical responses as receiving a hug from her. These responses included decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increased oxytocinthe feel-good bonding hormonelevels. Usually, oxytocin was thought to come into play only during physical contact; however, Leslie  Seltzer, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Child Emotion Lab and lead author on the study, said in the article, But it’s clear from these results that a mother’s voice can have the same effect as a hug, even if they’re not standing there. Laugh This may seem like a no-brainer, but laughing, whether its with a group of friends or over a cat video on Youtube, leads to decreased cortisol levels,  endorphin release  and a stronger immune system. Accept What You Cannot Control One of the biggest stressors many of us have on a daily basis is the what if? stressor. There is a constant analysis of trivial future events that have no clear answer until its time for them to pass, so why stress about them ahead of time? Our minds become a much freer place when we learn to accept that worrying doesnt change outcomes, it only changes our moods and our health for the worse. One tactic Ive found useful in halting worrying in its tracks is to ask if there is an immediate solution to the problem Im worrying over. For instance, Im worried my paper might be late later in the week seeing as Im so busy. Is there a solution? Yes, I can do the paper right now (even if I have to forfeit a couple hours of sleep) so its out of my mind. Worry ended. Another example: Im worried about not getting the job I applied for last week; I have yet to hear anything and Im dwelling on trivial factors such as, What if I phrased something wrong on my cover letter? and What if I chose the wrong font for the heading? These questions are consuming me at this point, so I stop and ask, Well, what can be done about it? The answer? Nothing. No action can be taken at this point. Therefore, its not only better, but logical, to let it go. De-stressing the Body Garden This might come as a surprise, but gardening has been proven to lower stress levels and aid in relaxation. According to  Health.com, In addition to being a source of fresh, healthy produce, gardening can ease  stress, keep you limber, and even improve your mood. Luckily, urban gardening is all the rage, so dont worry if you dont have a lot of space. A small balcony, a few pots, soil and seeds are all you need to get started. Sip on Kava-kava and Take Adaptogens Kava-kava is one of the top herbs for relaxation, acting as a muscle relaxer and anti-depressant. It can be taken as a tea or in capsule form, and can deeply relax you, so be sure to take it in the evening to wind down. Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb, is a potent adaptogen, meaning it minimizes the effects of stress on the body and helps it to cope with stressors. According to  Natural News, The herb has performed as well as or better than some common anxiety medications in studies. The typical dosage is 300-500 mg once or twice daily, so taking a capsule form may be preferred. Indulge Your Inner Yogi Yoga as a whole is excellent for stress relief and loosening tense areas of the body; however, there are a few poses that specifically target stress. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge pose), according to the  Yoga Journal, Calms the brain and rejuvenates tired legs, and Anjali Mudra (Salutation Seal), Is an excellent way to induce a meditative state of awareness. Both poses, among several others, can be found on their site. Eat Cherries and Celery Celery contains  phthalides, phytonutrients that are known to have a sedative effect, while  cherries  contain  anthocyanins, natural pain relievers, and melatonin, the hormone we produce to relax before sleep. De-stressing tactics shouldnt be utilized as just activities to do and be done with, but as lifestyle routines for obtaining a peaceful mind and sound body. Once these two come together free of chronic stress, we can begin to truly see each day as a new start: a perpetual spring.

Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor - How To Use It?

Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor - How To Use It?Pokemon White 2, the sequel to Pokemon White (Gold, Silver, and Crystal), is a game that is so full of exploration and endless possibilities, that there is little room for criticism. The first time you play, you could easily find yourself lost without the Pokemon White 2 Move Tutor. You can get it for free and it's easy to learn how to use it. However, there are some things that people want to know about using the Pokemon move tutor.Before I can tell you about the use of the Move Tutor, I must tell you what exactly a move tutor is. This is an item that allows you to learn the moves that your Pokemon knows by simply touching them. There are two types of Pokemon move tutors. The first type is portable, meaning that it is an item that is attached to your Pokemon in order to give you access to their move list.The second type is the one that is always with your Pokemon at all times. This is a power source that is found on your Pokemon and then it is connected to a port on your Pokemon through the trainer computer. It is constantly powered up by the energy of your Pokemon. As long as the trainer computer has energy left, it will continue to give you the moves that your Pokemon know.If you have the Pokemon move tutor in your Pokemon box, you can teach your Pokemon the moves you want them to know. If you have the Pokemon move tutor power up, you can then teach your Pokemon up to ten moves. Once you have learned the moves, you can then begin the battle.When you use the Pokemon move tutor, you will notice that your Pokemon will instantly begin to learn the move. If you are not familiar with a move, you can simply touch the move that you want your Pokemon to learn and your Pokemon will do it in about ten seconds. You do not need to have any Pokemon experience or even battle experience to use the move tutor.You can only teach up to five moves at a time. The number of moves that you can teach depends on your Pokemon's level. If you do not want to teach more than five moves, you can wait until your Pokemon's levels up. When you level up, your Pokemon will receive five more moves from the move tutor.As long as you keep an eye on your Pokemon's, it will learn the moves that you want. If you decide that you do not want to get the Pokemon move tutor anytime soon, you can also purchase a trainer PC with the ability to send your Pokemon's moves directly from their box to your computer. You can then teach your Pokemon the moves that you want to give them.

Exponential Growth and Decay Models for Organic Chemistry

Exponential Growth and Decay Models for Organic ChemistryIn one of the chapters of the book 'The Organic Chemistry Handbook', I wrote that 'exponential growth and decay models of the organic chemistry professor provide an in-depth look at what happens during the lecture, which is quite often an overwhelming experience for many students.' The Organic Chemistry Handbook by David Kohn is an excellent reference book and I must say I have enjoyed every chapter. However, my lecture material has changed dramatically as my teaching has changed dramatically.Now I rely heavily on 'exponential growth and decay models' for my lectures, as the chapters I use in my classroom each have their own unique dynamics. Unfortunately, these models are not suited to my use.'Exponential Growth and Decay Models' describe a model of chemical reactions in which the rate of reactions that occur is determined by the process of time. These models depict the rate of change of a chemical reaction by assuming that ev ery change takes place over a finite time period. The model also models the spread of change between two rates of change. In other words, there is a range of changes for a given reaction rate, and these are referred to as diffusion rates.By using the exponential growth and decay models to describe the chemical reaction process in organic chemistry, the term 'rate of change' becomes very familiar. The word rate literally means the rate of change or number of units that is added or subtracted from one given value. In the case of a chemical reaction, the rate of change can be shown as the difference between the reaction rate and the next rate of change. Using the exponential growth and decay models, it is quite easy to calculate the rate of change of an actual reaction.I think that this model has been very useful to the organic chemistry tutor as an analytical model for teaching because the equations can be solved immediately. This is a critical benefit for a teacher as his/her primary task is to provide solutions to the students questions. Therefore, when it comes to problems that require answering quickly, the solution of a chemical equation becomes less important than demonstrating the use of a formula to show how to use the equation to answer the student's question.However, as I have changed my teaching style, I also need to adjust my book to incorporate these same concepts and models into my lecture material. So, I need to choose a different approach. In my Organic Chemistry Handbook, the exponential growth and decay models have always been very useful in explaining how a chemical reaction works. The problem is that they are very difficult to adapt to the current format of my organic chemistry curriculum.The answer to my dilemma lies in another chapter of my organic chemistry text, 'Spanning Chemistry', where I describe the use of Kohn's 'exponential growth and decay models'. By using this model to describe my lectures, I am able to incorporate some of the p rinciples of exponential growth and decay in my material while still providing an in-depth analysis of the chemical reaction process. The result is a textbook that are both concise and rich with the concepts of organic chemistry, and students are more comfortable learning through the course materials.

Study Strategies for Math

Study Strategies for Math As a high schooler, you are required to take at least a few years of math. For a subject that is so prominent in the high school curriculum, theres still a lot of misconceptions. Many people think that you are either good at math or bad at math; theres no in-between and theres no way to succeed if youve always struggled thats about as false as 2+2=5. While some people have certain skill sets that lend nicely to math classes, there are math study strategies that can be learned and mastered by all students to succeed. How do you exercise these strong study strategies for math, you ask? Its as easy as 1, 2, 3 1. Think of math as a process know the steps Getting the correct answer is always a great feeling, but if you dont know how you got to that answer, you may be in trouble. Math is incredibly process based; step by step you are required to know the procedures. Think of math like cooking: if you forget an ingredient, the end result is ruined, and you need to pay careful attention to each task. So, how do you focus more on math as a process? Show your work, from beginning to end. Whether youre studying for a test, doing homework, or completing a quiz, you should be writing down all of your steps. This will help you in the long run if you notice you are getting problems incorrect. When you show your work, you can isolate the errors and identify exactly where you need to go back to study. When you are told to show your work on a test, show all of your work. Even if your final answer isnt correct, you could still get partial credit for the process you used. Learn your formulas what they are and how to use them. Math isnt like a history class; you cant just memorize the terms and ace the exam. Memorizing a math formula is only the beginning. If you dont know what each piece of the formula means, when to use it, and how it will help, you wont be as successful with it. You should utilize your textbook, math notes, and potentially math practice tests to get an in-depth understanding of key math formulas for your class. 2. Go back to the basics Math concepts build upon one another, which is one of the reasons it can get harder and harder as the years go on. If you struggle with basic math concepts, you may continue to struggle as you get into more difficult processes. Not only will your material become more challenging as the year progresses, you may be required to know and apply information from previous math classes. Here are some study strategies that can help you learn the basics and avoid falling behind: When possible, draw things out (just like you learned in elementary school). Its effective! Would a diagram help? How about a chart? Even if a graph isnt necessary, visualizing the problem can help you determine what exactly you are dealing with. This can be particularly helpful for those who consider themselves visual learners. Keep your math notes from previous classes, and refer back to them when necessary. Just because you are in a geometry class doesnt mean your algebra notes might not come in handy later. Hold on to your old class materials and reference them if youre struggling with old concepts. Be sure to understand the foundation of these concepts before you try to master harder ones. Consider also consulting your teacher or seeking math tutoring to help shed light on some of the areas that confuse you. [RELATED: Is Your Child Ready for Algebra?] 3. Tackle each problem methodically When you look at a four-page test, dont think of the test as a whole. Instead, think of each problem as its own test, with its own challenges and its own strategy. There are methodical approaches you can use to solve each problem successfully Determine what the question is asking. This may seem like an obvious first step, but especially with word problems, the actual question can sometimes get buried. Some students see the numbers and automatically start solving a problem before they even know what that problem is exactly. You dont want to waste your time and energy solving a question that isnt being asked! Once you have a confident understanding of the question at hand, you can start to tackle it for the solution. Also note that sometimes youll need to consider whether it is a two-part question. For instance, do you have to solve one problem first in order to get the information to solve another problem? Highlight or underline important words, phrases, and numbers. Sometimes, word problems include bits of information that you dont necessarily need. The extra information in these problems is often intended to confuse you and see if you can determine the relevant materials. Isolating the information you need to use can help you clearly identify the process you should use to find the answer. Any topics you want to know more about? Let us know!
