College of Science - History and Major Points

College of Science - History and Major PointsAfter its unique curriculum that was proven to stimulate the mind of students in a good way, the college of physics now offers one more thing; The branch of the sciences, the chemistry. It is also called as The College of Chemistry. While it is considered the oldest college of physics in the United States of America, there are lots of changes in the curriculum as the ever changing world we live in demands a changing science to teach.Geology and biology were earlier taught by Professor Phil Henry, who is the first Professor in the class. But in the 1950's the college of physics turned into an academic institution. And now the discipline is heading towards a new era of learning and teaching.It has two branches of the science, the science of mechanics and chemistry. Both branches study different concepts and topics but the chemistry branch focuses on molecules and thus chemistry is also called as molecular biology. It focuses on various steps and processes involved in the creation of elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen.Students can also use modern laboratory equipment to work on basic science and chemistry projects. Students can choose their branches depending on their interest and availability.Students can study about different branches of the science. These branches include, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Physical Chemistry, Quantum Chemistry, Applied and Environmental Chemistry. These branches focus on the different steps of chemistry and are categorized according to the tasks to be done in the lab. Students can learn and earn their Bachelors Degree in either Chemistry or Physics.Physics is another branch that makes it easy for students to get a better understanding of the different processes involved in chemistry. Students will learn about chemical bonding and reactions and the properties of atoms and molecules. Inorganic Chemistry is divided into four major areas, Phen ol, Anthracene, Indole, and Isopropyl alcohol. Chemical Physics uses equipments like air, water, and many other chemicals and the processes they have to do in the course of their courses.The College of Physics is also known as The College of Science.

How To Get Over A Fear Of Speaking Up In Your First Grad School Class

How To Get Over A Fear Of Speaking Up In Your First Grad School Class pexels.com Read up. A great way to allay your fears about speaking up in grad school is making sure you are prepared to speak up! Especially while you are making first impressions, you want to do so positively and in a good light. Part of the fear of speaking up is accidentally saying something ignorant or wrong and appearing gauche. Avoid this by doing all your reading and homework (which you should be doing anyways) and making sure that you really do know this stuff. Prepare yourself before new lessons, especially on material that you are unfamiliar with. Give yourself a head start! You do not need to know everything yet as you are not an expert (that is what you are in grad school to become). Just take the time to really familiarize yourself with the material you will be discussing so that you come across as confident, poised and knowledgeable. Create talking points. Another reason speaking up in your grad school class can feel scary is because you can feel put on the spot and you end up scrambling for an answer that is both correct and urbane. It can be hard to sound intelligent on the fly! Help yourself out by creating a list of talking points that you can use to help guide your responses. As you are doing your readings or studying, jot down important notes and questions that you have. You have the syllabus, so you will have an idea of what will be discussed and what the focus of the class will be. Use this information! Write it out and avoid scrambling at the last minute and grasping at straws for important information. It will make you more confident, and writing it down or typing it out can also help you to remember these important points better as well. Breathe. Sometimes you know all the right things to say. You have the knowledge; you have the facts; all you need to do is speak up. But that can often be the hardest part. When you open up your mouth to speak, your voice escapes you and it feels like all the air has leaked out of you and no words can come out. Inflate yourself! Regulate your breathing and make sure that you actually are breathing! If you feel a twinge of anxiety, take a deep breath. The professor poses a question, take a deep breath. You have a response, take a deep breath. Fill your lungs so that you can have a voice. And then say it. After all, you know it. Breathe and then say it! unsplash.com Picture your classmates … naked? Look, when you start grad school you are all really beginning on an even playing field. You come from all different walks of life; there is the older adult student coming back to school in a bid to change careers or pursue their true passion; there is the perky, overachiever fresh out of their undergrad days; there is the laid-back student who took a couple years off of school between their undergraduate and graduate studies to get a feel for life and what they want to do. No path is perfect and no path is better than another. You are all there because you need, nay want, to gain more knowledge in this area because you are lacking in it for now. But remember, that is just for now. You can overcome this! But to do so you need to participate in your classes by speaking up. So if you are having trouble finding your voice, remember that you are all equal and you can take it one step further by putting yourselves on an equal level, or rather, a naked level. Imagine your classmates naked if it helps you to feel more confident speaking. You are all unique but you are all equal.

Emotional IQ vs. Intellectual IQ by TutorNerds

Emotional IQ vs. Intellectual IQ by TutorNerds Emotional IQ vs. Intellectual IQ: How do they compare? Emotional IQ is the ability to handle complex, difficult and sometimes very sad situations. It is also the ability to navigate intricate social situations. Some children simply have a knack for socializing and are farther along than their peers (want your student to grow more confident and develop social skills? Try one of our in-home Orange County tutors). However, at the end of the day, emotional IQ comes with experience and time. A 35-year-old with a 110 IQ will almost always have a significantly higher emotional IQ than a 15-year-old with a 140 IQ. Some things just come with time. Intellectual IQ is the potential a person has, at any age, to achieve academically and to understand higher levels of thinking. Gifted children (READ: GATE Testing) can find themselves in really tough situations if their adult counterparts expect them to have an adult emotional IQ. A 5-year-old has had 5 years of life experience, not 10 or 20 or 55. Even if their intellectual IQ is 130+ (the “gifted” cutoff), they still need time to grow and learn about emotional situations. Let’s look at some real life examples. Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ: Example One A second grader has an intellectual IQ of 135 but the emotional IQ of a seven-year-old. Her reading level is three grade levels above that of her peers and she easily gets bored with second grade books (Have you considered an Irvine private tutor for your childs reading abilities? Check out: Reading Tutoring). It would be easy to give the child a fifth grade reading level book, but this could potentially be a big mistake. Its really important for teachers and parents to look at the content of the higher level books and think about whether or not the student is emotionally ready to handle the content. How would a second grader, no matter what their IQ, respond to learning about the Holocaust for the first time from a book? How would they respond to reading about the West Nile Virus in the newspaper? Content and skill are two very different things. Its important to challenge a gifted learner intellectually while maintaining socially and emotionally appropriate content. Check out what these parents had to say about these books: ProTeacher.net Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ: Example Two A sixth grader, who happens to be gifted at math and has a 145 overall intellectual IQ, is struggling socially. Because he has a high IQ, he is expected to understand social situations that juniors and seniors in high school can handle. Just because he is a math whiz, doesn’t mean that he is able to have a relevant conversation with students five or six years his senior. Perhaps when they are 30 and 35-years-old respectively, the social situation will be quite different but a sixth grader will still needs to socialize with sixth graders, even if they are in different classes. I recommend that parents arrange time outside of school for their gifted child to spend with children their own age and have plenty of opportunity to just relax and have fun being 11-years-old. Emotional IQ vs Intellectual IQ: Example Three A gifted child is asked to handle the academic workload of an adult. Many advanced and gifted learners are asked to not only take on the skill level of much older children or adults, but also adhere to the time table of an adult. Most of us sit down and concentrate at a desk for 8 or more hours a day and we have learned to cope with it. As adults, we know when to take breaks, when to get up and walk around and when to simply power through it. Children, no matter how smart they are, are not accustomed to sitting down for more than six hours in a 24 hour period. The beauty of childhood is to spend time outside, spend time with friends, and use the imagination. Adulthood will come all too soon enough and it is important that gifted children get time to simply be children. They need to laugh, play and have fun like all children. Bottom Line Its essential to assess emotional IQ along side with intellectual IQ. The bottom line is that each child will have a potentially vast difference in their intellectual abilities. Some will be musicians, some will be engineers, and others will be artists or dancers. But a six-year-old is a six-year-old and emotional IQ generally doesn’t vary by more than a year or two if the child is under 18. All blog entries are written by Tutor Nerds.

I Hate the Organic Chemistry Tutor - Reddit

I Hate the Organic Chemistry Tutor - RedditThe I Hate the Organic Chemistry Tutor is a website that has become popular over the last few years. It has been likened to the classic Beauty and the Beast when it comes to old and new-age witch hunting. This is no surprise in this day and age of the internet.When I was going through my class work and reading up on all the great history and the great people that have shaped the world we live in, I noticed something interesting about a teacher that I'd once considered one of the most intelligent and well-educated individuals. He was only up to English reading level. Now this was interesting to me as he would sit and write down the answer for my homework on his computer, rather than spend time with me in a typical conversation about important issues like the election or the Civil War.The question came to me as to why the organic chemistry tutor had this tendency to do this. The question was answered to me, because I now know that this is the way that many people like this instructor who has embraced a mindset of seeking out information. They won't sit with you in a traditional classroom setting and talk about things that are important to you, but they will seek out all the information that they can on the internet. They will not come to your home and share with you about life's greatest experiences.They would rather seek out information, be it online or on the college campus, the organic chemistry tutor, his story to me makes me wonder about the lack of education among a large part of the current population of the United States. There are so many different areas that are lacking from the regular school's curriculum that this organic chemistry tutor would just as soon take his work to the computer and have his home office filled with info, rather than engage in the honest dialog and interaction that he would like to have with you as a fellow human being.It's interesting how these teacher's mind set and the organic chemis try tutor, with their question about the evolution of Earth and his curiosity about it, have been called out as 'extremists' by the organic chemistry tutor and his students, because it has not been their in depth discussions, but instead it has been the internet that they have used to inform themselves about these topics. Their actions, or lack thereof, show that they do not think much of you as a fellow human being.The organic chemistry tutor, or I Hate the Organic Chemistry Tutor, also happens to be one of the leaders of the independent school movement. This means that he is trying to create programs that are more interactive, have a 'Big Picture' approach rather than a 'Blow by Blow' approach.It is interesting to me that we've created these ideologies of groups that work, whether in the private or public sector, these two ideologies have come together to form what we call the organic chemistry tutor. It is all about the question as to why he has taken up residence in the teacher' s chair and whether he thinks that he should keep his job. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Is Coke Chemistry a Threat to Your Health?

Is Coke Chemistry a Threat to Your Health?Ever wondered why there is a problem with Coke Chemistry? Coke Chemical consists of aspartame, a food additive that is used to imitate natural sugar. People who are obese have trouble processing aspartame, so they have issues with the effects it has on their bodies. The FDA has determined that aspartame is not a safe food additive, so it is no longer being sold in US.Some people notice that their headaches and stomach problems disappear after they stop taking aspartame. These are all symptoms of a chemical imbalance in the body, so it's important to treat them. The important thing to know is how to recognize that your body is having a chemical imbalance and how to cure it.The biggest problem with most of the drugs out there is that they are processed by the body, and not the other way around. When you take them, your body gets the stimulant, and as a result, gets pumped full of it. If you are taking a drug that the body doesn't need, you can expect all of these symptoms.One of the most common side effect of taking drugs is the irritability that comes along with it. You can use cocaine or heroin, and just ignore it. However, if you take prescription drugs, you can expect that you will feel irritation but not actually become aggressive.People notice changes in their appearance too. Not only do they lose weight, but they develop hideous pock marks on their face, as well as sores around their mouth and throat. Again, this is not because the drugs are actually causing these things to happen, but because it is the way that the body reacts to them.When you go to the doctor, the first thing that you will be asked is how you are feeling. This question will turnup many of the same things as above, except for pain.Pain medications, pain killers, and analgesics are just some of the reasons why people become aggressive. But for those who are really serious about combating the problem, there is another option. The most effective meth od is using a multi-vitamin designed to balance chemicals throughout the body.

How to Find a Geography Tutor

How to Find a Geography Tutor How to Find a Tutor for Geography Studies ChaptersDefining Geography TuitionHow to Find a Tutor to Study GeographyGeography Courses OnlineLet’s say you have a major exam on your horizon; maybe you will soon sit GCSEs or A-Levels, with Geography as one of your chosen subjects.Naturally, you would want to put forth your best effort in order to attain the highest possible results so you would seek out a private tutor to work with.That scenario applies if you are an undergraduate careening toward your end of semester exams, as well!The question is not so much finding a tutor to master geographic concepts with; tutors of that branch of humanities study abound!Your focus should really be on finding the right tutor for you: one who can work with your learning style; who is knowledgeable about the exam you will soon sit. You need someone who has a proven track record of tutoring success, as evidenced by previous students’ testimonials.Lastly but of prime consideration: you need someone you can afford.Your Superprof now takes mat ters in hand, directing you to sources where you may find tutors with the perfect blend of utility and affordability for any level of tutoring you may need.Geography, the mother of all sciences, is broadly divided into human geography and physical geography.Exams will test your knowledge on both of these facets, so any supplemental instruction you seek must be capable of addressing them.Another consideration for determining if your tutor is qualified to mentor you is his/her own level of achievement in geographical studies.Although there are no laws governing the tutoring industry, the firm rule of thumb is that your tutor should be at least one year more advanced in their studies than you are.So, if you, a GCSE student, have an older sibling who is at university, working on his/her geography degree, s/he is qualified to give you one to one tutoring.And you, in turn, could earn a bit of pocket money tutoring students who are less advanced than you!Cost always ends up as the last fac tor to consider in private tuition but really should be of prime consideration!Did you know that one in four students across the UK benefits from private tuition, making it a billion-pound a year industry?Some people will pay for the best whether it is warranted or not.For instance, concerned parents may hold out for a highly degreed, well-travelled geography tutor with an excellent reputation of helping their students improve their study skills... and pay accordingly.Does an A-Level candidate need a   £70 postdoctoral fellow to coach him prior to exams?While anyone is certainly entitled to hire any tutor they deem necessary, we recommend finding the best price for your home tutoring needs.To do so, you must factor in these variables:Level: tuition would logically cost more for higher level students than for those at the younger levelAge of the student: the younger the child, the shorter the attention span; KS1 students would benefit from shorter tutoring session, which means lower fees.Purpose: academic support tutoring and homework help are a long-term proposition; tutoring for exam preparation would be of shorter durationIntensity: general support could be provided once a week but if exams are right around the corner, you would probably need more than one session per week.Delivery: online tutoring tends to cost less than face to face tutoring. Also, if the tutor comes to your home, you may have a modest travelling fee added to your tutoring fee.Location: finding a tutor in a big city is easier, but such locations typically mean higher fees.What About Learning Disabilities?Autism, dyslexia, ADD... these conditions and others pose challenges to students and those who would teach them.According to statistics, the number of SEN students in UK primary and secondary schools totals over one million â€" 14% of the country's student body has special educational needs.Quite logically, caregivers of such students would want to provide their charges with every possible educational advantage, so engaging a tutor is not out of the question.The question is, though: is that tutor qualified to meet such a challenge? Does s/he has experience doing so?If you/your student is learning disabled, when considering a hiring a tutor, you should make his/her ability to work with your learner's specific disability a focus of your interview.Find out how to discern the cost of geography tutoring â€" for special needs students, by location and by their level of study!The point of a tutor search is matching the tutor's abilities with your needs... unlocking the right door, metaphorically speaking! Source: Pixabay Credit: QimonoHow to Find a Tutor to Study GeographyNow that those considerations have been outlined, the search is on!As mentioned before, tutoring in the UK is a booming business so finding tutoring to master geography concepts, one on one or in a small group, should not be difficult, right?Consider the wealth of methods a tutor has to advertise his/her s ervices.You may find fliers posted at your local Tesco, petrol station, library or community centre. You could also scan adverts in your local paper and on websites such as Gumtree or your local Freeads.The trouble with all of those outlets is that, most likely, you will have no feedback from previous students. There is little room in such notifications to list comments or even qualifications.Besides, how could you be sure the praise is from someone that person actually tutored?Select libraries and community centres around the country offer homework help run by qualified tutors.If your main concern is academic support, you may direct yourself there. Possibly, one of those tutors might be looking for one on one tutoring opportunities!The trouble there is that geography is not a part of UK schools’ core curriculum; generally, such free help is generally offered in subjects like English or math.You may hear of an available geography tutor by word of mouth: from talking to your neighb ours, other parents or your teacher.Of all the methods of finding a tutor mentioned so far, this one could prove to be the best because you are getting a personal endorsement from someone you know about that tutor’s skill in teaching.What if you want a more official presentation of geography courses?Tutoring services around the country have on staff qualified candidates who are ready to help students achieve academic success in all subjects, including geography.The advantages here are that the tutors have all been vetted â€" their credentials have been verified, and they have a stable of clients to prove their worth.There are downsides to this solution, though.For one, you will most likely be assigned a tutor rather than interviewing and hiring the one you believe suits your needs best.Another point is that you may be required to travel to the tutoring agency; some do not permit their employees to travel to clients’ homes.Finally, the cost of such an appointment would necessaril y be higher to cover the facility’s overhead.There are other options to explore...Speaking of exploring, discover all the reasons to study geography!The best part of working with an online tutor is that you can learn from anywhere! Source: Pixabay Credit: CunconGeography Courses OnlineThese days, more and more services are finding their way online and tutoring is one of them.This is the Information Age when virtually anything from friendship to free tutoring can be found online!Beware of free tutoring... assure yourself of its quality!Not only can you find qualified geography tutors online but you can receive instruction via webcam and, in most cases, pay less than if a tutor visited your home once a week!With online tutoring, nobody needs to be inconvenienced by the weather or traffic; simply boot up your computer at the appointed time and let the learning begin!All you need for online geography classes is a decent webcam and a quality headset so you can hear exactly what your tu tor is saying.Tutoring companies have made the leap to providing online services, though their costs may still be higher than other entities that have only an online presence.Of those, you have plenty to choose from, Superprof being an excellent case in point.Superprof lists more than 2,000 geography tutors; each one being fully qualified and well-versed in their subject material.You may narrow your search for the best tutor through the search page’s built-in filters so that only those tutors of the level, region, and price range you specify will show.With Superprof, your price range may be less of a concern seeing as the average rate for one hour of geography lessons is £11!Furthermore, many Superprof geography tutors offer their first hour of tutoring for free, just to see if you will be well-matched.Each Superprof profile page details specifics of that particular tutor: their level of education and teaching experience, whether they would tutor online or prefer home tuition â€" their home or yours...Best of all, you can see the glowing reviews left by that tutor’s former and current students!Be it for A-Levels, GCSE, at university or graduate level: private tutoring is a serious investment of time and money, on your part and that of your tutor.It is best to consider all aspects of engaging a geography tutor so that your student will succeed.Now discover the many career fields open to those with a geography degree!
