Chemistry Tutorial - Stereochemistry

Chemistry Tutorial - StereochemistryThe Chemistry Tutor will help you in creating and understanding a number of different types of diagrams in order to better understand the process of stereochemistry. Stereochemistry is a fairly complex subject, yet it can be very easy for you to master. This type of chemistry requires the use of chemicals in order to create several different types of diagrams that are used to describe chemical reactions. The Science Teacher explains the basic process of stereochemistry in detail and also explains the reason behind the diagrams.Stereochemistry is a combination of two different processes, one which relates to the formation of single molecules and another involves the formation of mixtures. This diagram type of chemistry can make use of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and many other types of compounds. Stereochemistry is considered by many as a wonderful and effective method of understanding the physical nature of different types of substances and combining these together to produce other types of substances and mixtures.There are two major components to the process of stereochemistry. These components are ionization and diffusion. These two processes require different levels of concentration and equilibrium to create the various types of diagrams.Ionization is a process in which different types of ions are attracted to the surface of another substance. An example of an ion is the positive ion. An example of a compound that is less dense than the positive ion is the negative ion. The diffusion process involves the movement of molecules from one surface to another.Diffusion is a major component of stereochemistry. It is used to form a series of mixtures on a flat surface of a mixture. It involves the movement of molecules from one surface to another.Formation of mixtures is vital in stereochemistry. They are typically formed when the ions interact with one another or they are attracted to each other. As the mixtures form they become simpler and the equilibrium level changes.The Science Teacher also explains why the formation of mixtures and stereochemical reactions are important to the process of stereochemistry. He explains that the acidic and basic mixtures that form with stereochemistry give rise to the formation of mixtures and the development of mixtures of compounds that combine different forms of acids or bases.This introduction to stereochemistry and the many applications to chemistry will help you learn all about this fascinating subject and will provide you with a general understanding of how this type of chemistry is used in the more advanced introductory chemistry course. The Chemistry Tutor gives you the knowledge needed to understand and be able to explain this complex topic.

Teacher talks What its really like teaching English in China

Teacher talks What it’s really like teaching English in China If you haven’t read it, here’s the first part of our Teacher Talks series with Dave on the differences between teaching ESL to kids vs. adults. And if you don’t have time for that, let me catch you up. Dave Stewart is a placement coordinator for the Explore Program in China. He spent several years teaching abroad in both China and South Korea. This blog will specifically look at his experience teaching in China. So, let’s jump right in! Why did you decide teaching in China was the best fit for you? If I’m really honest, I’d say to add to my travel-cred. South Korea felt like something a lot of people almost expected to hear when I said I taught English abroad. China had a bit more mystery to it, and I wanted an experience that was different from most. I was actually curious about teaching in China for a while. I first visited on vacation and there was just so much to see. It’s a much bigger country than South Korea, so I felt like there was a lot more for me to explore. The cities were bigger, there were larger and more diverse expat communities. In Korea, the expat community was mainly ESL teachers but in China there were all sorts of expats working in different industries. It was also the novelty of it too, there are things you just never forget - like these goat skewers that you could get from street vendors in Beijing. They were delicious, but it’s the only time in my life I’ve eaten food that has been heated by a hairdryer! Aside from all that, when I actually sat down and did my research, I felt that China had the most opportunities when it came to teaching adults. Read this: 5 reasons why you should teach in China What are some of the main challenges you’ve experienced teaching adults in China? I suppose one of the main things teachers have to adjust to is mostly cultural. There’s a real fear of losing face. Getting students to speak up is probably 80% of the work in the classroom. I used loads of different techniques. Bigger groups weren’t the best for the shy-natured students, so I divided them into smaller groups, focusing on roleplay and pair work. With adults, they need to know the value of what you’re teaching them. So a lot of the roleplay has to be quite specific, business situations and real-life scenarios played out better than more imaginative stuff. At first, it can be a bit stressful because there is that feeling of talking to a wall, it’s a catch-22 with teaching ESL. Adults are silent, so you’d give anything to get them to speak up, and kids won’t shut up, so you’d do anything to get them to be quiet and focus for a few minutes. I’ve heard that English pronunciation is especially tricky for Chinese (Mandarin) speakers...is that true? Definitely, there are quite a few problems with intonations and phonology. One of the big issues that Chinese English learners have is with vowel sounds. What happens when someone mispronounces a consonant is that you can still figure out the meaning. Like “Coppee” as a pronunciation for “Coffee” in Korea. But if a learner messes up the vowels it becomes much harder to understand what they want to say. Check out the University of Toronto OISE TEFL course’s specialization in teaching English to Mandarin speakers How did you give students feedback? Was there a grading system in place? For private lessons and conversation classes we were given feedback reports to fill out after every class. These could be more candid and in depth than anything you might give a child. I would still always try to be encouraging so give them any negatives in a compliment sandwich. Any horror stories you care to share? I had a student that called himself “Death”, and it wasn’t an accident. He knew what it meant and it was written on all his business cards. He was an odd guy, but part of teaching is accepting people as they are, so you just have to roll with it. Was anything about living in China ever frustrating? Using Bing instead of Google. Maybe the biggest thing for a Westerner teaching in China is the frustration with access to news sources. Many of the sites I would usually go to for current events were blocked or censored. Also anyone that’s taught abroad appreciates the treasure trove of Realia that YouTube represents. In Korea, I would often incorporate videos into classes, but that wasn’t possible in China. They use a network called Weebo to host videos instead and it just doesn’t have the same number of native English speakers creating content.

How would you respond to that? That’s one of those false assumptions, there are a lot of rules in China, certainly a lot more than in Vancouver - but for some reason I felt freer there. Perhaps because in Vancouver we enforce the rules that do exist, in China I found them quite lax as long as you weren’t disturbing anyone. It felt safer to go for a walk at night, the culture didn’t have any aggressive masculine undertones like in the West and you could grab a beer and go for a walk without worrying. I loved wandering there, which isn’t something I’d do in Vancouver. In China, I would just stumble across historical monuments or vendors selling weird foods. China gave me a different perspective on things I thought I already knew. In the west there’s this idea that communism is a bad thing, but they were so proud of their rich history and saw Mao as a liberator of the people. Just witnessing that first hand was fascinating and something I could never have imagined sitting at home reading about China. It’s not a place that can be described, I’d recommend spending time there to anyone who is curious about the country. Professional development is a big part of Chinese culture and work. Did you get a chance to develop your teaching skills? Definitely, they encourage all teachers to take courses and even pay for them. While I was there I did a distance learning course in phonology that was so useful in the classroom. It allowed me to hone in on specific issues with the student’s pronunciation and figure out where they were straying. It was amazing to get a chance to really understand the mechanics of ESL for Chinese students and get a bit more context about how to help them with their specific issues. If teachers are looking to take a TEFL course and know they want to teach in China or Korea, it might be wise to take one with a country specific specialization tagged on. Some of that information will be gold in the classroom. What was the most interesting thing about teaching in China? How focused they were on my strengths and the way they helped me grow my skills. I’m a stickler for interesting lessons and they saw that strength and gave me room to research and develop new classes for the school. I loved having that sense of creative ownership and being able to come up with ways to tweak and improve classes other teachers had designed.

Hockey Shooter Tutor

Hockey Shooter TutorIf you're looking to improve your game and have decided on hockey shooting skills, the way to do it is to find a hockey shooter tutor. Hockey is not an easy sport to learn and if you don't get help from someone who can help you improve your game, it will never be possible for you to become a better hockey player. When you hire a hockey shooter tutor, you will get expert advice and coaching in the sport of hockey.Hockey is one of the fastest-growing sports on the planet and, as you can imagine, this is great news for the people who play it, but it's not good news for those who want to make sure that they are getting good shots from the ice. If you want to improve your skills and you don't have the time to find a good coach, you may need to consider a tutor.Many of the people who have good skills in the sport of hockey (a lot of them are known as 'talent scouts 'hockey players' - some are called 'talent guides 'skill experts') don't want to spend their time going to the rink every day to train with others. The good news is that there are some people who want to help you improve your skills and these people are calling hockey shooter tutors. If you have the time and the money to hire someone, you should consider hiring a mentor who will get you on the ice and teach you the best techniques to shoot a puck.One thing that you will need when you are looking for a coach is access to some actual NHL hockey players who are also looking for help with improving their skills. That means that you need to find a coach who has players from all over the country who are looking for ways to improve their game and is willing to let them come onto the ice so that they can see how other hockey players perform the tricks that they use every time they shoot a puck.Once you decide to sign up with one of these coaches, they will instruct you in the fundamentals of the game of hockey. They will show you what you need to do in order to shoot a puck correctly and will a lso show you what you need to do in order to score goals.Another thing that you can look for when you are looking for a good hockey shooter tutor is someone who will be honest about the fact that you should also work on your speed, and at the same time, he will put you on the ice so that you can see how much you can improve your skills. Most of these tutors have been coaching people for years and they can help you with skating, but not to the point where you will be able to show off your skill.When you do go to the rink and watch other players shoot the puck, take a look at the gloves of each one. You may be surprised to learn that some of them are shaped differently, and those that are shaped differently do have a big impact on how the puck will hit them and how quickly the puck is going to come off.

Times Tables Online Tutors - Maths Times Tables Help

Times Tables Online Tutors - Maths Times Tables Help Times table is a multiplication table where in the table, the result of all the numbers when they are multiplied with each other is given. So starting from number 1, all the different numbers are multiplied together and their final results are put together and shown in the times table. Hence it is very convenient to have a times table around and it is very much recommended to memorize the table as it helps in solving various problems and it also makes the calculations easier. Example 1: Write the times table of number 2. In order to write the times table of number 2, we start by multiplying 2 by 1. 2 * 1 = 2 2 * 2 = 4 2 * 3 = 6 2 * 4 = 8 2 * 5 =10 2 * 6 =12 2 * 7 =14 2 * 8 =16 2 * 9 =18 2 *10=20 (So here the times table for 2 can continue as we can keep multiplying 2 further with any number). Example 2: Write the times table of number 3. In order to write the times table of number 3, we start by multiplying 3 by 1. 3 * 1 = 3 3 * 2 = 6 3 * 3 = 9 3 * 4 =12 3 * 5 =15 3 * 6 =18 3 * 7 =21 3 * 8 =24 3 * 9 =27 3 *10=30 (So here the times table for 3 can continue as well, because we can keep multiplying 3 further with any number).

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Jean Webb

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Jean Webb Varsity Tutors brings you insider tips and advice straight from nationally recognized admissions experts. Jean Webb works as a Law School Expert at InGenius Prep, an expert admissions consulting service that helps students get into the college, law school, medical school, or business school of their choice. Jean previously served for 17 years as the Director of Admissions at Yale Law School, where her duties included management, planning, strategy, file-reading, and pre- and post-admissions recruitment. How much time should be set aside to adequately prepare for and complete a law school application? Jean: Assuming you are starting senior year and that this does not include LSAT study time, I would recommend spending three hours a week from mid-September until you submit your application. Activities included in these three hours are researching and visiting schools, speaking with your pre-law advisor, creating and editing your resume, brainstorming and writing your essay, and strategizing your letters of recommendations. Its important to carve out time in your schedule during which you can completely focus on the application for hours at a time, instead of time here and there. What is the single most important thing applicants should focus on with this application? Jean:Applicants should focus on the question: Do I really want to go to law school? Ask yourself, and keep asking yourself, this question. You dont have to know the answer for sure, but the question has to be in the back of your mind. The answer, or the quest for the answer, will wrest your strengths from within and make for a compelling application. What are the biggest mistakes a student can make on a law school application? Jean:Its a big mistake to spend too much time saying how much you love the schools to which you are applying. Admissions officers at top law schools already know that you want to go there and statements like this do not add any value to your candidacy. Instead of simply stating that you want to go Yale Law School, for example, you should mention the undergraduate research you did at Yale with a law school faculty member. Talking about a research project will trigger a better result than just saying you want to go to the school. Remember: show, dont tell. What do law school admissions officers look for most in an applicants essays/personal statements? Jean:Admissions officers look for evidence of strong writing, thinking, reasoning, and editing. Applicants must demonstrate the strengths they will contribute to law schools. Its not always about the topic; rather, its that you write about the topic well. As an admissions officer, you dont know what kind of law an applicant is going to study. Everything can change once a student gets to school. What makes a student succeed as a student and eventual lawyer is good writing, thinking, reasoning, and editing. Is there anything on a students application that would automatically disqualify him or her from being considered for the program? Jean:Misconduct without remorsein the past or on the application. Ill add that being too far below the LSAT and GPA median will also disqualify applicants. People tend to think that the LSAT and GPA are just numbers. In reality, the GPA represents four years of academic work; the LSAT reflects skills gained over a lifetime. There is an intense focus on these scores because they are distillations of a persons academic ability. While there are no formal cut-offs, admissions officers rarely seriously consider someone whose numbers are way below the median. What about the law school admissions process differs the most from undergraduate admissions? Jean:Law schools are not necessarily looking for well-rounded people or students who will contribute well to the social life of the law school. As the Director of Admissions at Yale Law School, I looked and advised my staff to look for people who would be strong contributions to class and who wanted to be involved in the law. While schools do have personalitieslike Northwestern, which has strong ties to the business worldadmissions officers are not necessarily looking for a diversity of interests. At the undergraduate level, admissions officers are looking to fill all types of slotsthe cellist, the athlete, the debater; this is not the case at law school. What kinds of things (experience, grades, etc.) might a student lack that would lead you to advise him or her not to apply? Jean:If there is no evidence that a student is a good fit for the law, I would advise him or her not to apply. This evidence can take many forms. On the academic side, if there is no academic experience related to legal workhistory, political science, economics, international relations, philosophy, government classes or majorsI would ask myself, Why does this person want to go to law school? On the extracurricular side, if there is no evidence of skills or experiences showing you are a good fit for the lawdebate, summer internships, mock trial, community serviceI would ask myself the same question. That being said, Ive seen math majors make excellent law school applicants. Some faculty members at Yale Law School even told me that math is the best preparation for law school because of the precision it requires to succeed. In cases like this, students will need to focus on weaving their unique background and skills into a story that shows they are a good fit for the law. Is there anything you might see on a students application that would quickly put him or her ahead in the running? Jean:When I was at Yale Law School, all else being equal, excellent writing and insightful letters of recommendation quickly put students ahead in the running. If a distinguished faculty member with a lot to do raves about a student in a way that is not boilerplate, I would pay special attention. More on recommendations below! What advice do you have regarding LSAT test prep? Jean:I advise students to take LSAT practice tests under timed conditions. Use officially released tests and study books. If you arent getting the scores you want, consider a LSAT tutor or test prep course. What do law school admissions officers look for in recommendation letters? Jean:Admissions officers look for corroboration of a grade well-deserved. A professor or TA can give you an A, but as Director of Admissions, I wanted to see more. I wanted to see the reasoning behind the A and statements like, this was the best paper Ive read in 10 years. Letters should also contextualize excellent performance. In order to fully understand the students academic success, admissions officers need context. Letters should tell readers about the school, the cohort, the strength and competitiveness of major, etc. Was this student the top-performer in class? Was this class competitive? Do students have to apply to even get into this class? This is the type of context that helps set the scene. Letters should also speak to what kind of student this person would be in the classroom. Letters should include evidence that an applicant would be a good lawyer. These are letters that typically come from the fieldinternship supervisors, mentors, or coaches. My InGenius Prep students often ask me who should write letters of recommendation. The answer is: someone who knows you and your work should write your letters. Your letters need to be intimate. When I tell students that it might be better to receive a letter from a teaching assistant over a professor, they look at me like Im crazy. In reality, if a professor has no idea who you are and cannot speak to your work, ability, and potential, your letter will not have the impact you are looking for.
