How To Succeed At Your College Chemistry Class

How To Succeed At Your College Chemistry ClassAt Pasadena City College Chemistry is an extremely important course. It's a prerequisite to many other courses in the College of Arts and Sciences, so if you want to go on to college as a Chemistry major, this is one of the requirements. The class is offered in the first two weeks of the semester, and most of the students who take it are likely going to graduate in the first semester of their sophomore year.For those students who don't, that's okay. This introductory course in Chemistry is one of the most widely taught introductory classes in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is taught by Professor Leon Harvey, and many other chemistry professors teach it as well. The students are the product of the California State System of Higher Education, which means that they know the workings of that system and are familiar with the structure of the College of Arts and Sciences.In most high schools, it's recommended that the students in Chemistr y take their course at the level of a freshman and go through some kind of remedial course before they graduate. But because of the way the first-year students are put together, the students in Chemistry go through two years of a course, called Pre-Chem.In this first year, you'll be in a very tough group for a science major. If you don't take any remedial courses in Science, you may end up doing a whole lot more chemistry. It will be a job for you, though, and you'll do quite well. The other students who come into the class with all this extra chemistry on their minds, though, won't.This second year of Chemistry includes more preparation in a lab than you would in most other classes, and it also includes a series of laboratory projects. It's more important for the student who is still learning how to deal with a large volume of different chemicals, but it's more important for avery bright student than it is for a student who has already mastered the rudiments of chemistry. (This is a requirement for a Chemistry major.) It's the chemistry that gets under your skin, so to speak, that is going to carry you through the rest of your college career.It's really only in the third year of this Chemistry that the students who took it as a junior may truly be considered the best students in the College of Arts and Sciences. In this third year, there are a little more science and a little less chemistry, and it's difficult to say who is in the senior class, unless you've seen the graph of the high school career status of the students in the class. This is an intensely physical class, and it will be a life experience for a student who's just beginning to understand the basic concepts of chemistry.One last note. There are really no sure fire ways to get yourself a good position in a college chemistry department. If you want to be a science major in college, and if you want to get into a good college, you need to get your grades up, and you need to be able to stand out in a crowded science class.

Why SAT Scores Might Be Decreasing

Why SAT Scores Might Be Decreasing The average SAT scores for the high school class of 2011 fell across the nation, according to the College Board (the creator of the SAT) and an article in the New York Times. The average, national reading score fell to a record low of 497, a three-point decrease from 2010. The average writing score dropped two points to 489, and the average math score fell one point to 514. The College Board believes that a more diverse group of students caused this decrease, mainly students whose first language is not English. Nearly 27 percent of the roughly 1.65 million students who took the test came from a home where English is not the only/primary language, which is an increase from 19 percent 10 years ago. However, others believe that changes in the test caused the decline. Robert Schaeffer, public education director of FairTest, a nonprofit group that is critical of standardized testing, said he believes the decreases were caused by the nations high emphasis on high-stakes testing programs. These high-stakes programs can add more pressure to the SAT, which could either improve or decrease students scores. Also, younger students are taking the SAT, hoping to get a head start on the college process. Traditionally, high school juniors and sophomores do not perform as well on standardized tests as high school seniors. [RELATED: What Does SAT Stand For?] Students with only three years of high school English scored an average of 464 on the reading section, compared to an average score of 556 for students who took Advanced Placement or honors English. Schaeffer also believes that the No Child Left Behind act and other federal education laws have made the tests more difficult. How many wake-up calls do policy makers need before they admit that their test-and-punish strategy is a failure? Schaeffer asked. Policymakers need to embrace very different policies if they are committed to real education reform. The SAT has three sections (math, reading and writing), which are scored from 200-800. The highest possible combined score is 2,400. The combined, average score was 1,500 in 2011, compared to 1,506 in 2010. The writing section was introduced in 2005, and students writing scores have been declining every year since then. However, math and reading scores have remained fairly steady over the past 10 years. Math scores have remained between 520 and 514. Reading scores have averaged between 508 and 499. Despite the average SAT scoredecline, the number of high scores is actually increasing. On the math section, the number of students who scored at least 700 out of a possible 800 has increased more than 20 percent since 2007. The SAT and other standardized tests like the ACT are designed to indicate how well a student will perform during his or her freshman year of college. However, there has been much debate about how accurate that actually is. Many educators have long believed that a students high school grades are a better indicator of college grades than standardized tests. However, the College Board recently tried to create a tangible scale to predict future grades. For the first time, it estimated that the combined score of 1,550 means that students will have a 65 percent chance of averaging at least a B-minus in college. About 43 percent of the Class of 2011 test-takers met that mark. [RELATED: How is the New SAT Scored?]

Upgrading Your Gear Must-Haves For the Intermediate Guitarist

Upgrading Your Gear Must-Haves For the Intermediate Guitarist Suzy S. Is your guitar gear stage-ready? If youve been playing for a while and youre ready to start performing, your set up might need some upgrades. Follow this guide from guitar teacher Nathan D. and enjoy rocking out   So perhaps youve been playing steadily for a few months to years, and youre taking this whole “guitarist” thing seriously. Maybe you now have a band, and want to start playing out. Theres plenty of necessities to get or upgrade guitar gear as you start to go a bit more pro, and countless sticker-shock options as well. What do you need to know before going on a crazy, card-maxing shopping spree? Ideas For The Road A floppy gig bag will need an upgrade, so definitely buy a hard-shell case to protect your instrument. Consider the hardships of packing your guitar into your tour vehicle and traveling. It will pay for itself after a hard drop out of a van door or trunk, or even a single pass through the TSAs often brutal gauntlet. Buy a few supplies for your case. I keep a spare string winder, a pack of strings, a tuner (or pitch pipe, as they dont need batteries that can leak if left unchecked), and a few extra picks. A pen and some paper wont hurt, either. You never know when youll have to trade info with a promoter and run out of business cards (bar napkins easily get thrown out). If you live in dry climates, I shouldnt even have to tell you to have a humidifier in your guitar case. However, if youre going on tour or vacation, its not the first thing you might think to pack. You dont know what the weather will be from state to state (or continent), so its worth the twenty dollar or more investment. Suggestions For The Active Stage Rocker Consider installing strap-locks onto your instrument, especially if youre in an act that flails around a lot. Be aware of the current size of the strap screws in your instrument. You may be drilling a deeper or wider hole for larger screws to properly secure the locks. Have it done by a pro if you dont want to potentially split your body apart (or ask a reliable carpenter friend). Its not worth putting strap-locks onto a guitar strap that will break at your next practice. Please dont repair your straps with duct tape. If it looks shoddy, get a new one. Also, if you notice that your shoulder gets fatigued after wearing your guitar for an hour, immediately upgrade to a wider strap with some padding. If youre tired of pulling your cable from your amp (regardless of its length), become entangled with mic stands and bandmates, or have ever pulled your amp to have it fall directly onto pavement, you might be a candidate to go wireless. There are budget packages that run for only a couple hundred dollars or less, just check the reviews on your favorite retailers websites. Its incredibly fun to run the full distance possible through or around your audience while playing, whether its an outdoor show or in a bar. Playing With Power Heres the big one: your practice amp probably wont cut it live. Even if a microphone and PA is used in conjunction with it, relying on a tiny, low-watt amp and/or stage monitors doesnt always work out very well. Dont be the player on stage that insists on using a microphone on a 20 watt amp, constantly glaring at the poor sound guy, angrily shooting a finger repeatedly upward, and yelling to crank you up in the stage mix. Youre going to need at least a couple hundred watts to be loud enough. If you cant hear your playing while on stage with drums and other instruments (and actually want to play with a band), youll need a new, more powerful amp. Prepare to shell out several hundred dollars to a grand (or more). Note the differences in buying an all-in-one versus a speaker cabinet setup and separate amplifier (or head unit). You can always upgrade the amp if you buy separate units, but in any case you can always upgrade the speaker(s) down the line. If youre handy, you can also build your own speaker box with plans found online. Dont rule out using a small yet powerful amp to power any speaker box, as my $300 200 Watt ZT Lunchbox (its the size of a lunchbox) is actually powerful enough to power my 4X12” Marshall cabinet. However, its built-in 6.5” speaker actually is enough for me in most small venues. Bring your instrument to the store to try out different amps, dont just go by reviews. You dont want to pay return shipping on a 100 pound amp if you decide to buy online without even trying it in person. Your sound doesnt need compromises, plus your wallet could take a big, non-refundable hit for a simple mistake. When you purchase or construct a new, more powerful amplifier setup, you can always keep your little old amp for low-volume practice, or sell it to a beginner. For more great amps check out this list from Music Skanner. Last Words To You Rockers My final, very important advice is have ear protection. Your ears are your most important organs as a musician. Tinnitus is not fun. Im in my early thirties and I have already started developing it in my left ear, and sometimes it wakes me up at night. Theres plenty of options in foam, rubber, and silicone models that are under twenty dollars. That being said (and hopefully heard), a wide assortment of guitar gear possibilities await you. Has some of that anxiety calmed of what to do next? I hope some of these suggestions help you out. Youre at an exciting stage of being a musician! Keep playing!

Reasons to Attend a Small School

Reasons to Attend a Small School Youve probably been well-briefed on the main differences between small schools, large schools, and medium-sized schools. Other than the obvious fact that they each have a vastly different-sized study body, the various factors that come along with them ultimately produce atmospheres that are simply better suited for certain personalities. The question is: how do you know which one fits your personality? The size alone may not be enough to answer that for you, so it is important to investigate the cultures and unique aspects these different types of colleges offer. Here is some great information onbig schools vs. small schoolsthat you may want to check out. However, it is very possible that you could like the idea of a small school, but actually find yourself discontent with that kind of campus once you arrive. Or vice versa, you could very well hate the idea of a small school but then discover it does, in fact, match your needs. Better to figure this out in advance, right? Regardless of your immediate feelings on the subject or rumors you have heard about it, here are some reasons to take into consideration that would indicate a small school is a good place for you. Youre on the shyer side: Although this may seem like a fairly obvious indicator, there is more reasoning to it than just avoiding intimidation by big crowds. No matter where you attend college, your journey is going to begin with a freshman orientation designed for you to mix and mingle with as many peers as possible. Being a freshman in general automatically gives you an advantage wherever you are to get to know these people easily and develop bonds quickly. But for those students who are more introverted and less confident about outwardly socializing with strangers, a small school gives them the opportunity to be a part of more close-knit communities within the overall one, giving them the opportunity to feel connected to an even smaller fraction of students before they are released into the complete group of incoming freshmen. For example, orientation groups will be divided into much smaller numbers of students than would be the case at a large school, dorm floors will each contai n significantly lower numbers of residents, and dorms themselves will be much smaller than the overwhelmingly packed ones you would find elsewhere. Large schools split students up into these same communities within communities, but they do not have the luxury of making these communities as condensed as small schools are able to. Rather than throwing students into major meet-and-greets first thing that can leave a shy person feeling quite overwhelmed, small schools provide a way for you to feel like youre already a part of a tight group before you enter those bigger mingling events so you can have an established support system beforehand. You may also want to check out this information on colleges with small class sizesas well. You want a close relationship with your advisor: The bigger the school, the bigger the challenge you face when trying to create a familiar rapport with a faculty member. Advisors in particular are integral parts to managing your academic experience and quite important to the stability of your path to graduation. They will be able to help you at any school regardless of size, but if you really want to get to know this person and are hoping they will become someone you can frequently go to without having to remind them or your class history every time, youre going to have better luck at a small school. In accordance with the tinier student body, each program/major will be more of a close community as well. You will become familiar with much more of your fellow classmates in this program than you would at a large school and your advisor will likely be the same person every time you visit the advising office. Sometimes, schools have too many students in each program to assign just one ad visor to all of them, so it is a huge perk to be able to work with the same person consistently every semester. Even if this small school has two or three advisors for your program, you are still more likely to be recognized by them since you are amongst a smaller crowd of students who are coming to them so regularly. Subsequently, getting on a first-name basis with these people will be an easier feat. You hate buses and/or get lost easily: This may seem like another give-in, yet it is truly something to think about. If this is an issue for you, you must think hard about how often it will play into effect if you attend a large school. Missing a class because you misunderstood the bus route or just got turned around walking through the east side of campus is not something you want to experience often. At a small school, your campus can be pretty easily figured out by glancing at a map and the limited paths you can take to get to various buildings will become engrained in your mind very quickly. With every dorm, class, restaurant, and entertainment venue located within walking distance of each other, youll feel much more relaxed if you do get lost at some point early on because the next turn you make will probably get you back to a familiar point, rather than a completely different side of campus. Plus, youll be incredibly thankful if youre ever running late and can just run to your designated location rather than searching for your car keys or waiting for a bus. You like the small town feel: When youre on a small campus, youre essentially living in a small town. You will know mostly everyone and mostly everyone will know you. The latest news and gossip will circulate quickly and even if youre by yourself, youll rarely feel left out of this strongly connected community. Most college campuses tend to have that comforting feeling of connection, but a small schools comforting vibe is always prominent, no matter where you are or what youre doing. Inside jokes about the campus and new endeavors the school is undertaking will be quickly talked about and bonded over between you and your peers, whether youre in class with people you never hang out with or in your dorm lounge with people you see every single morning. Small schools make it easy for everyone to be heard and know theyre on the same page with each other, regardless of whats going on with everyone personally. If youve ever dreamed of living in a place where everyone knows your name and the re are little to no secrets, a small campus will fit you well. Answer a few questions about yourself to determine whether or not these reasons apply to you. If they do, you may want to take a closer look into the world of the small campus. Figure out what is right for your personality and habits instead of just blindly following brochures. A plethora of things can be positive, but that doesnt always mean they are specifically good for you. You may also want to check out these top 4 reasons to attend a big school as well!

Put a Little Love In Your Heart for You - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Put a Little Love In Your Heart for You - Introvert Whisperer Put a Little Love In Your Heart for You One of the 4 relationship building blocks I outline in the blog and programs is about giving support to the other person.   When we support someone, it is an act of love, especially if we do it without any expectation of receiving something in return. Our ability to give and receive love starts with loving self â€" often a hard thing for some people to do or to admit to.   As we go through life, we get “scuffed up” by various situations, which can take a toll on our self-worth.   You have to love self so you can love others because if you don’t, you will always be looking for something from someone else.   It’s a thirst that is never really quenched. And what if you don’t love and respect you?   Change your internal dialogue about you.   Sounds simple but it can be a habit for many.   Some people don’t even realize it but its part of their ongoing way of talking. The deal is, every time you say or think something negative about you, your brain believes it.   I have a friend who constantly says she’s stupid.   I know she’s not.   I finally pointed it out to her and she hadn’t even realized she was doing it.   She did admit that’s how she felt fairly often.   My point to her was that she had convinced herself she was stupid and how that translated into holding her back in so many ways. The best analogy for this that I can think of is to think of yourself as a glass of water.   The water is the love you give and receive.   The glass is your capacity to love and if you keep your glass small because you don’t love yourself, you won’t be able to contain much love.   Love is a truly powerful and uplifting feeling. So, isn’t it worth it to increase the size of your glass?   It allows you to give and receive more love. So, as we go speeding into this weekend, be aware of your internal dialogue to you about you.   Do you have some changes to make? -So you can increase your capacity to love?   This may be a challenge but it will totally be worth it. Love yourself.

For many students, they'll have studied art at primary school and secondary school as art and design is obligatory in the UK until GCSE, meaning that they'll have to opt for art once they're in Year 10.Most artists will have learnt some art at secondary school. (Source: dietmaha)GCSE ArtDuring Year 10 and Year 11, pupils study GCSEs. Students have to study English (English Literature and English Language or a single English GCSE), Maths, and Science (Combined Science or Individual Sciences).Pupils can choose their other GCSEs, including art. Not every school will offer the same GCSEs but they all have to offer at least one Arts GCSE, one Design and Technology GCSE, one Humanities GCSE, and one Modern Foreign Language GCSE.If you're thinking about studying art at university, you should definitely opt for art at GCSE so that you can study an Art A Level or BTEC.A Level ArtOnce you've finished obligatory schooling, you'll have the choice to continue your studies at sixth form (if your school has one) or a college. Since A Level art is a requirement for most art degrees, you'll probably want to pick it as one of your A Levels if you're serious about continuing your art studies after you've finished further education.Since you'll need three or four A Levels to get into university, you'll also have to study some other subjects and ensure you get good grades in them too!BTEC ArtIf you'd prefer something more vocational, th ere's always the BTEC Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. With BTECs, you'll only usually study one of them since they are considered to be the equivalent of three A Levels.As you can see, students have a few options when it comes to studying art in secondary school.

Higher art education i s designed to provide students with the skills to work independently or as an employee.It’ll be up to you to make your own portfolio once you’ve finished your degree and show potential employers and clients what you’re capable of. You’ll be working on this portfolio throughout your degree which is why you might want to try different styles and techniques.You’ll have the opportunity to get advice from professionals in an art school. Once you’ve left, you’ll need to be ready to work so make sure you’ve made the most of your time there.Find out more about surviving art school.Spend time visiting exhibitions and learning more about the art world, especially art history. Going with others is a great way to make friends and connections for later on in life and it’s also a good way to relax and gain inspiration for your own work. Make sure you make the most of your time as a student!You could also learn more about art with private tutorials from one of the many talented t utors on Superprof.  There are three main types of tutorials available: face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials, and each comes with its pros and cons in terms of learning and cost-effectiveness. What's right for one student may not be right for another so take your time to find the right kind of tutor and tutoring.Face-to-face tutorials are taught with one student and one tutor and they tend to be the most cost-effective type since every minute in the lesson is spent focusing on you as the student. Additionally, the tutor will also spend time outside of the lessons finding resources and planning the time they'll spend with you.Online tutorials are similar to the face-to-face tutorials but take place either on a call or via webcam. Since the tutor won't have the travel costs to worry about and can fit more students into their schedule as a result, online tutorials are usually cheaper than face-to-face tutorials.Finally, group tutorials are classes with one teac her or tutor and multiple students. However, with group tutorials, you and a group of friends could get in touch with a private tutor to plan lessons that you'll all attend together. These tend to be the cheapest per student per hour since the cost of the tutor's time is divided amongst the students in attendance.

Though, Thought, Tough, Through, Thorough - 5 Confusing English Words

Though, Thought, Tough, Through, Thorough - 5 Confusing English Words There are a few problems that seem to consistently come up in my English classes. One of these is confusion among the words Though, Thought, Tough, Through and Thorough.The problem usually comes up when we are reading a lesson together, and we come across one of the words. Students will often get to a word like tough and say the word thought or though.There are two reasons why these words are difficult. First of all, they look a lot alike. Youve basically got the letter t (and sometimes r), surrounding the letter combination ough in slightly different arrangements.Secondly, the letter combination ough makes a different sound depending on the word.Though sounds sort of like thow, thought sounds like thawt, tough sounds like tuff, through sounds like threw, and thorough sounds like therrow. It turns out that the letter combination ough is one of the most unpredictable in the English language, with 6 to 10 possible sounds they can make, depending on the dialect.Honestly, thinking about it makes me wonder how native  English speakers dont get confused by them. Especially though, tough and thought. They look almost exactly the same, but make completely different sounds!Yet somehow we never get them confused, without ever having to think about it.So what do you do if youre someone who is trying to learn English? Im not sure theres an easy way to fix this problem. Even my most advanced students make mistakes with these words.My suggestion for now is to be aware of the ough letter combination, and when you come across it, pay careful attention to the context. Luckily, each of these words have very different meanings, and its highly unlikely that the word tough can be substituted for the word thought in a sentence.Want to keep learning?
