Are you studying effectively (For your learning style)

Are you studying effectively (For your learning style) Improving Academic Performance We’ve all heard someone say: “I’m not doing well in this class because I am a visual learner and all the professor does is give boring lectures.” What does this really mean? There arefour Learning Styles; visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic. Understanding which one/s you fall into can prove beneficial in the development of study and retention skills. Though we may feel we identify with one type of learning over another, the following are undoubtedly study tips that can help us all- not just in studying for exams but in actually retaining the material we’ve learned beyond them. Visual Learners prefer to see new information and ideas. A visual learner absorbs material best when it is presented using pictures and graphs. Study tips for visual learners include: Take notes during lectures, but move beyond words. Draw small graphics and symbols to show relationships or use arrows to show growth/decline or inverse relationships. Draw flowcharts to document a process. Use outlines when writing notes or mapping out a paper. Organizing notes/ideas in this fashion creates a roadmap for you, helping you to stay on point, ensuring that your writing is easy to follow. When studying from an outline, it iseasier to remember ordered points or data, as you can visualize what comes next in a sequence. (IE: This is useful in Science when studying processes such as Mitosis or even in History when studying historical events.) Make Flash Cards to help you recall information. The process of flipping through important terms, vocabulary, historical people events and their definitions using visual cues and repetitioncan enable students to remember information. Incorporate videos into your study process: Sites such as Khan Academy and Crash Course present dense material in a creative and accessible way. Auditory Learners prefer to hear information over reading it or seeing it displayed visually. Study tips for Auditory learners include: Use mnemonic devices to aid in remembering facts or an order of events. This requires the student to simplify large periods/themes down to the most pertinent, easy to remember, facts. Repeating aloud, class notes or textbook stanzas. When studying, pause to paraphrase and recite aloud, from memory, what they’ve read in the textbook or class notes, before moving on. An instructor asking questions, during lectures/lessons allows auditory learners a chance to repeat the information back to the instructor engaging them in an active learning process. You can also have someone quiz you aloud on course material when studying. Reading/Writing Learners learn best when they read and write material themselves. Engaging with text is more influential for them than listening to a lecture or viewing images. Useful study tactics for Reading/Writing Learners include: Take notes, lots of them! During course lectures or presentations take as many notes as possible. The act of writing out notes goes a long way into “inscribing” material into our brains. HOWEVER, don’t try to write down the speaker’s words verbatim. Instead, put it in your own words and summarize the points. This will prove beneficial when you consult your notes to study. You are more likely to comprehend and retain material written in language which you understand and can most easily remember. When studying, rewrite your notes. The 1st time you take notes it is usually at a hurried pace as you try to keep up with the instructor. In class, you are being introduced to new material, which may not stick this 1st time. Writing your notes, a 2nd time, the material isn’t foreign and you will begin to retain it. Finally, make bullet point lists. When making a bulleted list, we abbreviate material into smaller, more easy to digest bits. This forces you to weed through your lecture and reading notes, zeroing in on the most pertinent info. Kinesthetic Learners are those individuals who are hands-on, experiential learners. These students learn best by performing a task or activity. Perhaps the most effective method for kinesthetic learners is to learn by teaching. When a kinesthetic learner is asked to teach the information to a classmate or family member, they are better able to recall and wrestle with complex subject matter. In an effort to clearly explain, they breakdown the information and in turn internalize it. Taking study breaks is important for kinesthetic learners as they often have a hard time focusing for prolonged periods of time and siting still. Take a short break to go for a walk or do some physical activity, incorporate study into your break by trying to recite what you’ve just learned from memory or by using flashcards. We all respond to new information differently: Many of us prefer to receive visual cues or stimuli, being shown rather than simply told (visual learnign) Others are best able to comprehend something when they hear it (auditory learning) Some like to read/take notes on material on their own rather than listening to a lecture (reading/writing-based learning) Select students grasp information when they preform a task related to the subject (kinisthetic learning) Again, though we may feel we identify with one type of learning over another, the study tips we just reviewed can help us all better digest, interpret, and retain information to improve academic performance.

3 ways to live rent-free while teaching English abroad

3 ways to live rent-free while teaching English abroad One of the biggest questions you will have when you find an ESL job overseas is “Where am I going to live?” Finding an apartment or house in a foreign country will probably seem intimidating at first, especially if you don’t speak the local language and don’t know which neighborhoods you are likely to enjoy the most. There’s no need to get stressed out! Finding a place to live while teaching English abroad sounds scary, but in almost every case the school or teaching program that is hiring you will make finding a home very easy. Often, the school will even provide you an apartment for free (yes, seriously!). Housing benefits vary quite a bit from country to country and sometimes from school to school. So let’s break down the different accommodation options for TEFL jobs and where each option is most common. 1. Apply to teach abroad programs that pay for housing Teach abroad programs that cover housing costs include: The Explore Program(China) The English program in Korea (EPIK) Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education(SMOE) Gyeonggi English Program in Korea (GEPIK) The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) The UAE Government Schools Program English Opens Doors(Chile) Getting to travel the world and get paid doing it already sounds like a pretty sweet deal, so getting free housing to go along with it seems too good to be true. In many countries, not only is free housing possible, but it would be downright strange if your school didn’t provide you with a place to live as part of your contract. Free housing while teaching abroad, huh. What’s the catch? Now, although free housing is a great deal, you should still be aware of a few things. First off, you probably won’t have any say in where you live. A common situation is for the school to either own the apartment (usually a studio) where you will be living or they will have an agreement in place with the company that does. That being said, you shouldn’t be too concerned about the lack of options. The vast majority of the time the apartment provided is perfectly comfortable. Horror stories regarding free housing are surprisingly rare. That being said, feel free to ask your future employer for photos of where you will be living and what will be included. Housing for ESL teachers usually comes furnished, although you may have to buy some items, like cooking utensils and bedding, yourself. You may also have to pay for utilities on your own. Also, in a lot of countries, especially East Asia, most homes aren’t equipped with an oven. This lack of an oven comes as a surprise to many first-time ESL teachers, but it’s actually completely normal in many households. So don’t assume you’ve been “ripped off” if your apartment doesn’t have everything you are used to back home. Typically you will get a private apartment (usually a studio with a small kitchen and bathroom). Sometimes, however, you may find yourself sharing a kitchen and living space with other ESL teachers, especially if you are living on-campus at a university. Note:If you’re a certified, experienced English teacher then many private international schools interested in hiring from overseas do include free housing in their overall compensation package. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. What about ESL/language schools abroad? Where is free housing standard? In a handful of countries, it is considered industry-standard for schools to provide free housing for their ESL teachers. In South Korea, for example, it is almost unheard of for a school to not provide free housing. Free housing for English teachers in China In China it is also normal for housing to be given free of charge. The wealthy Gulf States in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia,the UAE,Kuwait and Qatar, also almost always provide free accomodation. In the rest of the Middle East, however, free housing for TEFL teachers is rare. Free housing for English teachers in Japan In Japan, free housing isn’t quite standard, but it is fairly common, especially if you are teaching through a government-run program. And across Europe, most language schools expect you to pay for your own housing. 2. Apply to ESL schools and programs that provide housing stipends In a lot of other countries, instead of an apartment provided to you by the school, you will be given a housing stipend (i.e., an extra amount of money to help cover the cost of housing). The great thing about a housing stipend is that you can look at a few apartments and choose for yourself where you’d prefer to live. The downside is that looking for housing in a new country can be intimidating at first. You may also not know if the stipend the school is providing you will be enough to cover the cost of a comfortable apartment. Housing stipends are fairly common among ESL employers in China and Japan. Tips on making the most of your housing stipend If your school is providing you with a housing stipend, make sure they still have resources to help you on your apartment hunt. Most schools won’t leave you completely on your own when it comes to finding a place to stay and will often have a real estate agent show you a couple apartments. But make sure you do your own research beforehand. Before you leave, have an idea of how much apartments typically cost and which neighborhoods you would like to live in. Don’t just choose a neighborhood that is cheap as it may not be close to public transit, grocery stores, or other necessities. Also, if you find a place that costs less than your stipend, find out if you will be able to pocket the difference or if the school keeps it. 3. Apply to homestay teaching programs In a few countries, especially developing ones or ones where the market for ESL teachers isn’t as massive as East Asia, it is common for accomodation to be provided through a homestay. With a homestay, you get to live for free with a host family and you’ll have a cultural immersion experience that is simply unbeatable. The disadvantage is that if you prefer the privacy that having your own apartment provides then a homestay isn’t going to be ideal. Homestays are common through government-run programs, including in Georgia and Chile. Check out Go Abroad for more on the latest homestay English teaching jobs abroad. A similarly short-term alternative to a homestay program, if you’re into the idea, is working at a summer camp, where you can avail of free housing on top of a small allowance. There are a ton of these scattered throughout Asia and Europe. What do I do if my employer doesn’t offer free housing? Finally, you may simply have to find a place to live on your own, at your own cost. The North American Language and Culture Assistants Program in Spain is one example of a teach abroad program that doesn’t arrange accomodation for successful applicants. Same deal with the Teaching Assistant Program In France (TAPIF). Going it alone sounds scary, but it really isn’t! Your school will be able to provide you with resources to help in your house hunt and there are usually tons of online classifieds with apartment listings. Your students and fellow ESL teachers will also be able to offer excellent tips on the best way of finding a place to live. If you are expected to find your own apartment when teaching English overseas, a good idea is to have an Airbnb or hotel booked for your first month so that you have plenty of time to find housing that suits you best.

Isomer Definition Chemistry - What Is It?

Isomer Definition Chemistry - What Is It?The isomer definition describes a gas as being a mixture of different elements. The most common example is gasoline, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons. These molecules are made up of one or more hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms and a couple of other atoms. Each molecule has one proton and one electron in it.Molecules are made up of atoms of the same element and are also referred to as bonds. The molecules of water are polar. They are too large to be pushed from one place to another. This is because of their hydrogen and oxygen atoms and the other atoms in the molecule.You may be asking what are isomer definition chemistry and what does it mean to use chemistry. You can make these molecules with the help of these 'bonds'. But sometimes you will need to have two or more bonds. These bonds do not connect or link like the atoms do.Chemistry is all about understanding how molecules interact with each other and the properties that they have. The iso mer definition of chemistry means that you should know the molecular structure of a substance before you can make it.You must understand what is a molecule and how these 'bonds' work in order to apply isomer definition to chemistry. The molecule has one nucleus, called an atom, which is the part that has electrons. These are the basic building blocks of molecules and they are what make it possible for them to interact with each other.The action of one molecule could be as simple as the chemical reaction that makes a very small amount of alcohol, water, and other chemicals react. But it can also be as complex as the production of gasoline and the chain reactions that take place that produces a gas that is more potent and is consumed as fuel. You will find that all types of material in the world can be described by the isomer definition of chemistry. From simple to complex, complex to simple, and simple to complex, it all depends on what type of bond you make to change the properties of a substance.

How Does Chemistry Work in FiFa 17?

How Does Chemistry Work in FiFa 17?Over the years I have looked at how does chemistry work in fifa 17. I have done this by playing the game, using the game files and with the help of other people. In doing so I have come to the conclusion that the game would not be able to make it to eighteen without some significant changes to the way that the game works. It is my belief that the changes will make the game far more appealing to both fans of the game and to fans of the technology.The next move is that of making the game extremely realistic. The reality of the game is that the players tend to use their head during the game. That is because it is something that cannot be manipulated by the playing field.If the players cannot properly process the chemical reaction that occurs during the game, then how can the developers expect the game to be entertaining? There would be no way to keep the players on their toes or to get them involved in the action.However, if there was chemistry then th ere would be no need for it. If there was chemistry in the game then the players would react to it just like they do in real life. When I am playing the game, I do find that it would be quite difficult to describe the smell of a mouse when I am having a heart attack. However, I could do so and play to the game.One solution to this problem would be to have a coolant produced in the stadium. For every game the ground has to be covered with ice or water for twenty minutes. The chemicals would then be mixed together with the coolant that would create a mixture that would cause the chemicals to mix up.Of course, this would be an extremely expensive process, as would be attempting to get the league referees to apply the same type of research as the scientists in the game. However, if the research on the chemicals was as comprehensive as the game engine was it would then become feasible to do.The other problem in how does chemistry work in fifa 17 is that, like many others who play the gam e, I found that I had problems concentrating on the game. This is because I was so busy thinking about the solution that was required.

Is a Math Tutor Helpful?

Is a Math Tutor Helpful?The terms 'math tutoring'counseling' are often used interchangeably in the same sentence, but they are not the same thing. Counselling involves setting goals and taking an active role in a person's development to get that person where they want to be. The person is given information, asked to develop the necessary skills, and they are rewarded for the progress they make. Math tutoring simply means guiding a student to learn certain concepts and skills.Just as counsellors work to teach a child correct answers for certain situations, a math tutor will do the same for students, assisting them in getting the right answers, even if it isn't on the test. The math tutor has the specific task of guiding a student through a subject or area of knowledge, such as algebra, algebraic equations, quadratic equations, trigonometry, etc. It can also be more than one subject, such as geometry or trigonometry.Tutoring can be as simple as identifying a specific goal for a student to achieve or as involved as evaluating a student's work and determining how their progress compares to the norm. One of the best things about tutoring is that the tutors have extensive experience with the topic, which will give them a specific understanding of the subject matter and which will allow them to implement what they have learned to benefit their students.Tutoring is often the first step for parents to take, especially when there is little support available at home. The parent has the best interest of their child at heart, and they will want to help that child to reach their full potential.Tutoring will provide extra teachers, so that the students don't have to switch teachers or move schools. There will be opportunities for better instruction, and the tutors will get an up-close look at how the students perform under pressure, and what they need to improve on. With a supportive teacher, they will be able to move forward with confidence and in a straight line.The benefit of tutoring is that it is not really independent learning, since the students will be interacting with the tutors. It is just a formal process of teaching students the skills and knowledge that will help them succeed in their future endeavors.Tutoring can be used as a way to supplement the education of the student, or as a way to augment it. They can be used by students who have different needs or characteristics than the standard curriculum. They can be used by students who simply don't have enough time to devote to a curriculum in a regular classroom.
