How to Sum Series - Your Step by Step Guide to Organic Chemistry

How to Sum Series - Your Step by Step Guide to Organic ChemistryA step by step plan for getting a good grade in Organic Chemistry takes an examination or test, and to get a good grade in a subject such as Organic Chemistry is not something that can be learned by rote memorization. A good exam or test is required, and even then it will still require effort.Coursework such as this may sound easy, but once you actually start the course, it is really quite difficult. To sum up, here are some of the more commonly asked questions about this course, as well as the right answers to them.If you're interested in taking the course, first you need to determine whether or not you are one of the majority of students that receive an average grade in this course. The test that is being given at the end of the semester will determine if you have an average grade, but you do not have to worry too much about that. What you need to worry about are your prior grades in your other classes, or if you are i nterested in a dual degree.The exam or test that is given will be an IQ test, and this will determine the student's grade. In other words, the higher the IQ score the higher the grade, and the number in parenthesis means the grade is off from your prior grades. So if you previously received a C in AP Physics or have previously taken AP Physics, your exam or test may be either a DSQ.If you want to take this course, you need to make sure that you keep up with all of the tests that are given each semester. This does not mean that you need to submit a paper, rather you need to write out all of the tests that are given for every class. This will give you a checklist of the tests that you need to complete before the end of the semester, so you do not need to worry about procrastinating, or skipping them.If you want to learn this course at the University of Phoenix or the Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis, it may be better to attend a college that offers a program in chemis try. There are more programs that offer programs in chemistry. This will help your ability to get ahead at the school.So if you decide to enroll in this course, there are several things that you should keep in mind, and if you are the type of person that can absorb information at a rapid pace, this is the way to go.

8 interview mistakes that can cost you great candidates

8 interview mistakes that can cost you great candidates Probably the most challenging part of the hiring process, and the area most susceptible to error is the interview itself. We all want to hire the best, but we don’t always get the best to accept our offers. At Teach Away, we empower countless teaching candidates and hiring schools to connect, both digitally and in person, every day. Although we mostly see smoothly-run interviews, we do also have a punch list of interviewer mistakes that we’ve seen too often to ignore. If you’re not careful, these interview mistakes will give the wrong impression and lead to great candidates losing interest in working at your school. So, here are our top interviewer mistakes, and our tips to help you avoid them, so you don’t have to see your best candidate for the job walk away. 1) Arriving unprepared. Preparation is key. An unorganized interview is a big red flag to any teaching candidate. Read their resume beforehand. If you’re trying to skim a resume for the first time during the interview, that will be painfully obvious to your interviewee. Candidates can see right through an interviewer who has not taken the time to review their resume, which gives the impression that you do not take the recruitment process seriously. Instead, carefully review their work experience, skills and educational background in advance. This will help you formulate relevant interview questions and to conduct a more thorough interview. The more time you spend looking into the applicant’s qualifications and background, the better the interview will be, and the easier it will be to determine if they are the right fit for your school. 2) Leaving candidates waiting. Be prompt - respecting the candidates time, sets a tone of mutual respect. Schedule interviews and stick to that planned time. Even if it’s just a pre-screen phone interview, call on time and don’t make candidates wait. When a school head cancels an interview or doesn't show up at the agreed time, especially if the candidate has got up in the middle of the night to accommodate a conflicting time zone, the candidate will perceive this as rude and disrespectful, and assume you’re not really interested in hiring them to work at your school. 3) Acting distracted. Stay focused - they’re bringing their “A” game, and expect you to bring yours too. From start to finish, you need to be 100% focused on the candidate. Being distracted during the interview with unrelated subjects, not paying close attention to responses, interjecting with unrelated comments, avoiding eye contact, glancing at your mobile phone for emails or texts, will leave your candidate feeling disrespected. A disengaged interviewer not only interrupts a candidate’s train of thought, throwing a potentially great answer off-kilter - they will also negatively affect a candidate’s perception of a school and likely cause them to pull out of the process. 4) Rushing the interview. You may think you have hit your 10,000 hour rule and can assess a candidate in two minutes. Keep in mind 90% of drivers overestimate how good they are at driving - the same holds true for interviewing. Not only can a candidate turn an interview around, it is easy to forget that this interview is bigger than the two of you in the room. The interview is a critical marketing opportunity for you to showcase your school to a member of the very valuable job-seeker market. Do your school a favor, and stick to your scheduled time - sell your school, even if you know you’re not hiring them.. When you decide to bring in a candidate for an interview, be prepared to take your time. That’s the only way to evaluate them effectively and make an informed decision on the right teacher for your school. A brief interview that doesn't give the candidate the opportunity to really sell themselves, especially if a candidate has traveled to attend an in-person interview, is one of the biggest hiring mistakes we see time and time again at Teach Away. Imagine you’re a candidate excited about the opportunity to interview at this great school overseas. You spend hours researching, thinking of questions and recalling past classroom experiences and lesson plan examples that would be relevant to the open position. Then, after you’ve thoroughly prepared and are ready to excel, all you get is 15 minutes of the interviewer’s time. I’m sure we can all appreciate how unfulfilling and aggravating that would be. So don’t overlap interviews or schedule them too close together. Show respect and take the time to properly evaluate each candidate. They prepared for you, so you owe the same consideration in return. And allocate plenty of time for them to ask questions at the end. An interview is as much an opportunity for candidates to size up potential hiring schools as it is for schools to audition prospective teachers. 5) Not asking the right questions. You’re an educational leader in your school, you likely have a strong opinion on assessments. Take a page from your own playbook and standardize a candidate assessment rubric. This will allow for easier side-by-side comparisons on those tough calls. Also, clear rubrics can mitigate the impact of dangerous halo effects. Make sure to craft questions before the interview that will help you correctly determine a teacher’s experience, qualifications, pedagogical knowledge and cultural fit. Predictable, redundant, rhetorical or overly-complicated questions can frustrate or confuse the candidate. Instead, actively listen to candidate’s responses, and use open-ended questions that ask the what, how and why. This not only gets candidates talking; it will also help you get the information you need to make the right hiring decision for your school. Don’t forget to ask questions that will help you glean candidate’s level of cultural awareness, as well their motivations for moving to the country where your school is located, either. Sidenote: throughout the entire interview, be aware of talking too much, instead of listening. A good rule of thumb - if you’re talking more than half the time, you’re talking too much! 6) Not being upfront. Setting a realistic expectation of the challenges faced by educators in your school and community will pay dividends. It’s not enough to get them through the door - you need them to stay and contribute. Yes, it’s true that in order to recruit and convince your candidate to join your school you have to “sell” them on the job and your school but you don’t need to overstate it. Fill them in on the benefits that a position at your school offers, but don’t embellish and make promises you can’t keep. 7) Being intimidating. Leave the boiler room interview tactics to the movies. When it comes to interviewing candidates, a few friendly gestures go a long way. Remember that the best international teachers will have access to a wealth of employment options so your school should strive to present itself as a welcoming, supportive place to work. A job interview is one of the most nerve-racking experiences a person can go through. Stressed-out candidates can have a hard time putting their best foot forward during the interview, and if you don’t know what a candidate is capable of, it becomes challenging to make the most educated hiring decision for your school. Barraging them with questions is the quickest way to shut your candidate down rather than opening them up. Instead, try to keep the whole interview process as friendly and conversational as possible. Keep your own body language open, and remember to make eye contact with the candidate. If there are any challenging questions you need to ask, it’s best to save those for the end of the interview, when the candidate will likely feel more at ease. 8) Failing to follow up. The international teacher labor market is getting more competitive every day. Teachers have options and need to make commitments. If it's not with you, it will be with another school. When you aren’t transparent about your process (or, even worse, lack a clear one), you’re opening the window for great teaching candidates to move onto other job opportunities, even if initially you were their top school of choice. At the end of an interview, ask each candidate if they’re still interested in the position and take the time to fully inform them of your selection process going forward. Let them know when they can expect feedback and be sure to follow up with them in a timely fashion. And while they’re waiting to hear back on next steps in the hiring process, offer to connect your shortlisted candidates with a teacher currently working at the school. Interviews are your best opportunity to get to know a candidate and determine if they’re the right fit for the job. But finding and hiring the right teachers is tough. So don’t make it even harder by driving great candidates away with these all-too-common interviewing mistakes. Don’t forget, great educators will always have options, and interviews are a two-way street. A positive interview experience can convince a talented teacher to join your team, but a negative experience is sure to tarnish your school’s reputation. We hope you found this helpful and we wish you the very best of luck with your candidate search this school year!

How to Fix Your Resume for Grad School

How to Fix Your Resume for Grad School stocksnap.io 2. Brag a little When creating your resume, you want to show off your best self. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to make up things to look impressive, but it does mean that you should include anything that may separate you from the rest of the candidates. This includes Dean’s List achievements, departmental awards, any type of leadership position, assistantships, internships, and volunteer service. On some job applications and resumes, these things may seem irrelevant and take up unnecessary space, but on a graduate school resume, they’ll enhance your image as a student, leader, and person. It shows the school that you’re likely to be active in their community which is something they’re definitely looking for. 3. Utilize space Ultimately, you want to put as much useful information on your resume as possible. However, this doesn’t mean you want your resume spanning three pages. Some schools will ask for a CV, or Curriculum Vitae, which is an education-centric type of resume that can take up more than one page. However, if the graduate admissions officer is sorting through loads of applications, the last thing they want is a long resume. In fact, they might even stop reading after the first page. This means that you should experiment with your resume and find ways to fit as much information onto one page as possible. Now, don’t put everything in a tiny font to do this. Learn ways to minimize words and maximize effects. Write fragments instead of sentences and play with readable font sizes by making your headers a tad bigger and your descriptive texts smaller. 4. Use design techniques Much of what the last paragraph talked about also filters in some design techniques. You might have gotten away with a bland-looking resume in the past, but now you really want it to stand out. Take a look at resume examples online to get an idea. Play around with different fonts that are stylish and readable. But above all, maintain consistency when creating your resume. It is a good idea to distinguish your headers (like Education, Work Experience) from the rest of your resume with a larger font, bold, italics or underlines. If you do this, just make sure everything stays consistent and easy to read. A resume that looks like it was made with care will stand out to any admissions team. 5. Be honest Of course, your resume definitely serves as a highlight reel of your professional life, but don’t put something on there that didn’t happen. Should you be successful in your application, you may be asked to interview with the school. It’s likely that they will bring up certain aspects of your resume and ask you to talk about them. If you’ve lied on your resume, it will come across quite clearly that you have no idea what you’re doing. You absolutely don’t want this to happen, so put your best foot forward and just make sure that it’s your foot. After you’ve finished these steps, you should be good to go! It may be in your best interest to proofread it one more time to make sure everything is spelled and written correctly. You could also have trusted friends and professors look over it as well to give you some advice. Overall, resumes are important, but they don’t have to be scary!

Slowing Down in the Face of Challenge is the Key to this Students Academic Success

Slowing Down in the Face of Challenge is the Key to this Students Academic Success Slowing Down in the Face of Challenge is the Key to this Students Academic Success Gavin, 11-years-old, Math Level J, Reading Level K Gavin has an above-average appetite for challenge. On a daily basis, the 11-year old balances many extracurricular activities such as participating in both cello and piano lessons, competitive soccer, robotics club, and much more. Despite his busy schedule, Gavin makes it a point to make time to volunteer, both at the local soup kitchen as well as coaching LEGO Robotics at an underprivileged school. One of the reasons Gavin has the extra time to devote to outside activities is that he doesn’t have to worry about homework bogging him down. Because of his enrollment in Kumon’s Math and Reading Program, he is years ahead of grade level, which helps him complete homework in a pinch. “Kumon has helped me outside of the classroom by teaching me crucial skills such as being focused, time management, and using my time wisely, all of which have allowed me extra time to enjoy my passions,” said Gavin. “I stay motivated along the way by just slowing down and thinking, and I tell myself that if I stay with things, I will thank myself for persisting in the future.” Gavin’s parents enrolled him in the Kumon Math and Reading Program over four years ago. He started out learning simple multiplication and piecing together sentences and has now advanced to high school level math and analytical reading. Although Gavin has no shortage of accomplishments, he values the virtue of staying humble. In fact, when we asked him who his inspirations were, his true character and love for giving back came through. “My biggest inspirations are the humble of the wealthy, such as Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, who use their knowledge, resources, and power to give back to the community in a positive way.” It’s no surprise that Gavin was one of 56 students selected to attend Kumon’s 3rd Annual Student Conference this past July. The event, which took place in Chicago, Illinois, connected some of North America’s brightest Kumon Students to collaborate, network, and connect through critical thinking activities. We had a chance to chat with Gavin during the conference to learn more about the importance of Kumon in his life and his hopes for the future. What do you enjoy most about Kumon? What I enjoy most is the excitement of learning and mastering new math concepts and discovering new, enrapturing literature. How has Kumon helped you academically? Gavin shakes hands with Kumon North America President Mino Tanabe Kumon has helped me academically by teaching me accuracy, math concepts, and crucial reading skills that give me the baseline of education, therefore placing me much ahead of the average student. I especially loved when Kumon recommended books to read and showed me many fantastic books, such as Bridge to Terabithia and A Wrinkle in Time. What about outside of the classroom? Kumon has helped me by giving me a solid character foundation for time management, persistence, and grit. What do you want to be when you grow up? When I grow up, I would like to be either a movie director or a lawyer. What achievements are you most proud of? The achievement that Im most proud of is being able to balance all of my extracurricular activities (Cello, Piano, Chinese language lessons, soccer, and Kumon) and still be able to have free-time and advance in school. What advice would you give to kids just starting Kumon? My advice would be to always keep a steady pace and persist through hard times, and to never give up, as anything is possible if you give it your all. Kumon truly helped me in almost every way possible, and I would totally recommend it to anyone. How did you feel when you found out you were selected to attend the Student Conference?

5 Benefits of Online Supplemental Education - TutorNerds

5 Benefits of Online Supplemental Education - TutorNerds Orange County Private Tutoring tips: 5 Benefits of Online Supplemental Education Students have been benefiting from online tools and education technology for the past several years but, with each new year, there are more options for students who need to participate in supplemental education services. Whether students just need a few hours of extra help to prepping for their SAT exams or several hours a week to supplement a home school program, online tutoring can help just about any student. Once students learn how to get set up with online education, they can start enjoying the flexibility and convenience of working with their favorite tutor within the comfort of their home or dorm room check out TutorNerd, our new in-home academic tutoring and test prep service. 1.   Convenient scheduling One of the fantastic things about online education and tutoring is that students and tutors have a lot more flexibility when it comes to scheduling. When working with a tutor in person, most students must schedule a minimum of one hour and their tutor may not be available at odd times of the day. However, when it comes to online tutoring, many tutors are willing to have a short 15 to 30-minute session to help a student proofread a paper last minute or help a student get started writing an outline. When both student and tutor are in their homes or home offices, scheduling is a lot easier. 2.     Work with your favorite tutor As time goes by, students may move into a different stage of their academic career. They can switch from public to a private school or from high school to college, usually meaning that they have to find a new tutor in their new geographic area. With online education, students have the opportunity to work with their tutor in a different city or even in a different time zone. It can take a lot of time to build a rapport between tutor and student and, after a while, tutors get to know a student’s specific learning style and needs. Having the flexibility of online education makes it possible for students to maintain the benefits of a good match with their supplemental educator. 3.     Utilize document sharing One of the cool things about online education is that students can easily share documents with their tutor in real time. Tutors can also loop in parents when appropriate so that everybody is on board with assignments with looming due dates. Online educators can make suggestions on a document that everybody involved can see and tutors can also see what a student is typing in real time. Document sharing makes online tutoring very similar to in-person tutoring in this respect. 4.   Multiple communication options These days there are so many different ways educators and students can communicate in a digital environment. Although options like Skype are still popular, tutors can also communicate through YouTube videos on a private channel, email, split screen technology, and so on. Students will even have the option to compile a list of questions and send it to their tutor with the quick response time similar to that of working with a TA in college. Online education is extremely convenient, but it also gives students the opportunity to take charge of their education and take responsibility for their time management and scheduling. 5.   Flexibility for parents Only tutoring also provides a great deal of flexibility for parents. If they have a younger kid, they can stay in the room and fully engage in the tutoring session, or they can move about the house after they help get their child set up with their online tutor. When older students are involved, parents might not even be in the house, allowing them to do what they need to as part of their work or domestic schedule. Parents can be exactly as involved as they want to be while still ensuring that their child is getting an excellent supplemental education. Enjoy effective, custom-tailored tutoring from the comfort and convenience of   your home with online tutoring from TutorNerd.com!

Online Volume of a Sphere Equation Tutors

Online Volume of a Sphere Equation Tutors A sphere is a perfectly symmetrical geometric shape and it does not contain any edges or vertices (corners). A sphere is closed solid structure and has a center and from this center, every point on the surface of the sphere is always equidistant (which means all the points on the surface of the sphere are at the same distance from the center of the sphere). Volume of a sphere is the amount of space contained inside it and its volume depends on the radius of the sphere. Example 1: Calculate the volume of the spherewhose radius is 3m. Given radius of the sphere, r = 3m Volume of the sphere, V = 4/3 * * r3 Substituting the radius of the sphere in the above volume formula, we get Volume of the sphere, V = 4/3 * * (3m) 3== 4/3 * * 27m3 = 36 Volume, V = 113.1m3 Therefore, volume of the given sphere, V = 113.1m3 Example 2: Calculate the volume of the spherewhose radius is 6m. Given radius of the sphere, r = 6m Volume of the sphere, V = 4/3 * * r3 Substituting the radius of the sphere in the above volume formula, we get Volume of the sphere, V = 4/3 * * (6m) 3 == 4/3 * * 216m3 = 288 Volume, V = 904.8m3 Therefore, volume of the given sphere, V = 904.8m3
