Introductory Course in U of R Chemistry

Introductory Course in U of R ChemistryA good introductory course in the U of R Chemistry may be the best way to familiarize yourself with this program and the culture it promotes. This course is considered one of the most respected institutions of higher learning in the United States, as it offers a great diversity of degrees, with not only a curriculum devoted to chemistry but also several programs that are focused on other areas of study.Most students who enroll in the U of R Chemistry have already completed their undergraduate degree. These degrees include the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering or the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering is geared towards working professionals who are interested in careers in the field of technology and science, whereas the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry can be applied to the more business-oriented professions.The coursework for the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry focuses primarily on intro ductory courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other sciences. Those who wish to go on to graduate studies in the field may choose between a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Students pursuing a career in technology are typically awarded a Bachelor of Science in Engineering after completing their Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, although their Bachelor of Science in Chemistry may substitute for the bachelor's degree offered by a specific department.At the end of the program, students may decide whether they want to pursue a Master of Science in Chemistry, which is an advanced degree, or a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering, which provides a degree that is technically equivalent to the degree offered by most other colleges. Students may also opt to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Chemistry, which focuses on ecological issues and how they impact the environment.If a student wishes to pursue a Master of Science in Chemistry, he or she should take a year off before enrolling in the next program. While this is often enough time to finish a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, it is not sufficient time to study in depth. In most cases, a student must wait until after completing a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering before earning his or her Master of Science in Chemistry.Many students who would like to enroll in the U of R chemistry program enjoy the opportunity to combine their other career goals with their studies. For instance, a student who has a particular interest in biomedical sciences, for example, may have a Masters in Biological Sciences. He or she may choose to major in the field of health professions, but may also choose to major in microbiology, the study of living organisms, and zoology, which deal with the study of animals.Many students who plan to pursue a career in industry follow their education and training at the University of Rochester. They acquire a professional certifi cate and a specialized industry credential. These credentials will give them an edge over competing candidates in their field, and they will help ensure future success.

High-Poverty Charlotte Schools Gets Boost From Duke Energy

High-Poverty Charlotte Schools Gets Boost From Duke Energy Math Tutoring At High-Poverty Charlotte Schools Gets Boost From Duke Energy Math Tutoring At High-Poverty Charlotte Schools Gets Boost From Duke Energy June 3, 2015 Heart is thrilled to share that we are expanding our programs in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, thanks to a $8,000 grant from Duke Energy Foundation. “Math skills that students learn at a young age serve as a foundation block for their entire education career,” said Stick Williams, Duke Energy Foundation president. “Those skills advance other academic pursuits and help our young people meet and overcome new challenges as they prepare for the future.” “Lack of math proficiency can become a barrier to a student’s academic confidence,” said Emily Elliott, executive director of Heart Math Tutoring. “Math deficiencies also affect high school graduation rates and future job opportunities.” The Duke Energy Foundation grant will support program expenses at one of our  school sites, where 50 students, in grades 1-5, receive one-on-one instruction from a volunteer. “We’re very excited that Duke Energy Foundation has chosen to support Heart, and we’re encouraged by the shared focus on K-12 education for underrepresented groups, particularly in the areas of math and science,” Elliott said. “Financial contributions like Duke Energy’s make it possible for us to do this important work.” Read the full press release here.

Picking a Summer Camp for Kids with ADHD

Picking a Summer Camp for Kids with ADHD Summer is a great time for kids with ADHD to explore creative, athletic, and academic interests and make friends outside of school. Kids with ADHD struggle socially and academically throughout the school year. So, even more than most kids, they need access to summer programs that allow them to test out new skills social, athletic, artistic, and academic skills in a warm, safe environment. Your childs summer plan should be two-fold. First, it should include camp experiences that allow them to do the things they already enjoy and develop new skills by trying out sports and arts that theyve never done before. Second, it should include an educational plan that will keep them from backsliding over the summer. Kids with ADHD need academic support year round to maintain their skills and be prepared for school in the fall. This week well talk about strategies for finding the right summer camps and social programs for your kids. Next week, well talk about how to avoid academic backsliding over the summer. As all parents of kids with ADHD know, finding the right summer camp is challenge! Here are some things to look for in a camp thats a good fit for your child: Does the camp have activities that my child is excited about? Kids with ADHD are most focused and often at their best when they are engaged in activities that they find interesting. So, have your child come up with a list of fun things theyd like to do at camp this summer, and search for programs that have at least some of these activities. Look for camps that have a small staff to student ratio. Kids with ADHD typically need a bit more supervision than kids without ADHD. If your child tends to struggle socially in new settings, having more counselors around will help them catch problems early, before they escalate into crises. Look for camps that have a high level of structure. Kids with ADHD tend to struggle most during unstructured time, so in most cases, the more structure the better. As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. Think about your childs strengths and weakness. How would you like to see them grow this summer? For example, would you like to see them become less shy and more comfortable around kids their own age? Would you like to see them improve their good sportsmanship skills? Or would you like them to be in a setting where the adults are more positive than their teacher may have been last year? Choose a camp that gives your child a chance to explore and work on these areas. Once youve narrowed down your selections and have made your list of growth goals for your child, contact the camps. Talk to them about the strategies they use to manage behavior, how they facilitate friendships or handle social conflicts, how they structure their days, and the camper to counselor ratio. When it comes to managing behavior, make sure the camp is using praise, positivity and earning privileges, as opposed to things like time-outs and removal of privileges as punishments for kids. Look for camps that have games and activities that help kids get to know each other. Also look for camps that pay attention to the differences in individual children and pair them up with teammates, bunkmates and partners that are well suited for each other. Most importantly, the camp should be someplace that both you and your child are excited about! ABOUT DR.

How to Negotiate When You Get a Job Offer

How to Negotiate When You Get a Job Offer Image via Pixabay Now, granted, you are fresh out of college, and unless you are an angel sent from heaven, you are unlikely to get the absolute best job that you could get or even that you want. Along with that is the fact that the compensation package might be different than the stars circling in your head. This is fine, and not really anything to get super hyped about. While you want to take the best job offer for you, you don’t want to get hung up on a top-level salary that you don’t take any of the job offers you’ve been given. If the salary package is not what you were expecting, you may want to think about giving a counter offer, or negotiating the job offer with the potential employee so you both get something that works for the both of you. Negotiating a job offer doesn’t have to be hard, neither should you approach the matter with fear and a lack of confidence. It is important that you know your worth, know what you can bring to the company, and be upfront about what you desire. Prepare yourself to get what you ask for and also be prepared to walk away if you don’t get it. Here are some tips to help you negotiate your salary when you receive a job offer: 1. When you know the value you are bringing to the company and can articulate it to the hiring manager. One little bit of truth here: Employers really care about they can grow their company and how they can boost their bottom line. When it gets down to it, potential employers really don’t care how much your rent or mortgage is each month, how much student loan debt you have, or how much you spend on parties every weekend. They care about how you can help them grow their company and boost their revenue. You have almost any employer’s ear when you can carefully articulate how your skill set can make that happen. If you have a job offer in hand and you don’t like the salary package as much as you would like the job, consider delineating what type of value you can bring to this potential employer. Consider letting them know what makes you unique for this job position. Negotiating over money itself is somewhat pointless as most employers are dead set on what they are offering. However, good employers will pay more for employees who add value to their company. An investment in value is an investment that can’t go wrong. Image via Pixabay 2. Avoid accepting a job offer too fast if you know you want to negotiate the salary. The interview process can be weeks, even months long, for some companies. This is especially true for major companies such as Google, Apple, and many others, with thousands of employees. You might be tempted to accept a job offer as soon as you get it just for the sake that you waited so long to get it. However, it could be a mistake not to weigh all the possibilities in negotiating a salary before accepting the offer. Even the best offers from the brightest companies should be reviewed after a day or two of receipt. This allows you to have a clear head when making the decisions. Most employers will give you anywhere from several days to up to two weeks to review and accept their job offer. This is the time where you want to leverage the power you have to be certain you make the right decision. Be mindful of the time limits that you have been given as employers typically want to fill positions quickly. If you know you want to negotiate the salary, start planning how you will do it as soon as you get the offer. 3. Be professional and maintain composure. Of course, you want to get a better salary, but one sure way not to get it is by coming across as rude, demanding, unprofessional, or entitled. Remember, the way in which you negotiate your salary package is equally as important as what you are negotiating. A great compensation with a sorry attitude doesn’t make for a very good employee. Hiring managers will quickly see through this and make you work extra hard to get what you are asking, or simply rescind the offer if you step out of bounds. Your bank account is never more important than your personal demeanor. Maintain a professional composure at all times. Use professional language through the negotiating talks. In fact, you may want to take some time to practice what you are going to say and how you are going to say it with a friend, colleague, or someone whom you trust to give you honest feedback before you step through the doors to negotiate. Just as an employer can rescind an offer letter, you can also turn down an offer letter. No one really loses. Negotiating your salary takes time, effort, and patience. Take your time to think about the offer, consider what you would like to make, and use the magic words when asking the right questions and giving the right answers. Remember, while discussing your salary, also discuss the value and benefits you will bring to the company. Make small concessions if necessary, and always stay polite and professional. In the end, you may just get what you asked for and the company will gain added value.

2014 Feminism Are We Done With the Bra-Burning Perception

2014 Feminism Are We Done With the Bra-Burning Perception If this is what you considered as feminism in 2013, you may need to rethink what you consider feminism.Photo via okmagazine.com I was a first semester freshman at Radford University when I signed up for a Women in the World: Introduction to Women Studies class, a class typically devoted to the upperclassman due to its allegedly mature and difficult-to-comprehend material (a ridiculous concept Ill later dissect). My male friend smirked when I told him I was taking it, and of course the shameful phrase, where is the mens studies class? was actually uttered from the mouth of a middle-aged man. Because yes, men like this have managed to surpass Darwins theory of survival of the fittest without swallowing their own foot. Its 2014its time for the men, and most certainly the women, to accurately understand the fundamentals of feminism and not the cartoonish lies spread by bromantic comedies and decrepit white men with cheap dentures. 1. Its 2014, the bra-burning thing never happened. As much as youd like it to, it didnt. This lie points back to a 1968 radical feminist rally picketing a Miss America beauty pageant. In an attempt to objectify the absurdity of beauty pageants, the crowd dumped various cosmetics, high heels, girdles, and of course, bras, into a freedom trash can to exhibit a physical rejection of Hollywood-ized beauty and submissiveness. While the event was fueled by outrage and revulsion, it was not by gasoline and a match. 2. Its called feminism and not equalism for a reason. Because, did you know, feminism is about women? Thats right, men. Feminism is about empowering the female voice and experience, men excluded. Although many issues pertain to ones that victimize men (rape, pedophilia, gender roles) these issues are defined by patriarchal values and traditional mindsets, all of which stem from a male-dominated society that stresses emotionless men trained to think with their phallic regions and not their brains. 3. Some women shave, others dont. Get over it. If youre so concerned with whether or not a woman shaves, try dragging a blade across your ape-like legs for a change and count the days it takes for you not keep up with the practice. Feminism praises body positivity, and for some reason that elicits a negative response from the men that demand shaven armpits but leave their own looking like Tarzans. That is a double standard, my friend.  Some feminists shave, some dont. Some people like broccoli, others dont. Shocking how people have their own personal perspectives and values, huh? In 2013, Rush Limbaugh stated The purpose of a kid is to occupy a woman so that the husband can run around and do whatever he wants, a phrase ancient enough to live in Beaver Cleavers household.Photo via Queerty.com 4. Sexism doesnt exist in America though, right? Only in underprivileged countries where the dominate race is non-white and female mutilations are prominent? Wrong. In a country where men control the uteruses of women and complain about how they cant beat their wives to a bloody pulp I would venture to say that theres something very wrong with the perception of females in this society. Continuously marketed as pieces of meat for the male gaze, women are degraded to objects in fast food commercials and PETA campaigns and then are harassed and raped on streets and in their own homes. Boys will be boys is an excuse, not a cute phrase to excuse misbehavior and violence. The 2013 popularity of Tatyana Fazlalizadehs street art addressed gender harassment issues by speaking directly to male offenders.Photo via ihollaback.org 5. Feminists do not ignore the cries of male abuse victims. Domestic violence is an issue that does not discriminate based on gender, but there is an overwhelmingly large number of women subjected to violence more so than men with over 84% of spouse abuse victims being female. While that leaves a chunk of men being abused  by their  wives, this poses another  important issue in feminism that raises the question of what this society is teaching males regarding dominance and subservience. Because females are more apt to report domestic abuse as opposed to men, this points toward another issue in which men are taught to  be the dominant gender; thus, when a woman abuses them they are either too afraid or embarrassed to report the crime. So no, feminism does not exclude men from domestic abuse, but it does shine a light on the patriarchal values it teaches men and how it impacts the way they view their egos and emotions. And heres the thing: feminism is not too mature of a subject for ANY age level and its concepts are far from difficult to comprehend. To the conservative and bigoted mind, feminism is an intricate web of misandrist  ideals and unshaven armpits. In reality, it is female empowerment in a patriarchal world defined by aesthetics and traditional gender roles. If your college happens to offer a women studies or feminism class, I suggest taking it and producing your own opinions based off of factual ideas and events. In a society glazed with subtle misogyny and blatant sexism, its important to explore the vast ideologies of liberal and radical feminism and how they apply to your life as a college student and human being.  After being force-fed the same wrong material for years and years, its hard to shove away the hand thats feeding you and question the beliefs youre eating up, and thats why 2014 is a turning point in correctly understanding feminism and its differentiation from Rush Limbaugh-esque remarks and Robin Thickes rape-justifying lyrics to the heroism of  Malala Yousafzai and the morality of Wendy Davis. So, to bring in the new year thats sure to come with misogynist movies and ridiculous remarks, know what the word feminism means before you crack another hilarious kitchen joke. But since youre already telling jokes as old as your 1960s-style kitchen, why dont you go ahead and make me a sandwich while youre at it.

Tips on Extra Tutoring

Tips on Extra TutoringThere are many reasons why there is an increasing demand for extra tutoring for students. Students tend to take less classes with a tutor than they do when doing the assignments themselves. It's true that getting someone else to supervise your projects and teach you how to get past a problem is much easier than trying to write a project on your own. While it may be true that some students are better at taking things in a slightly different direction, it's also important to recognize that it's all about getting through the process.The only problem is that many students will take more courses than they need. Students are in a hurry these days and they're often too worried about missing out on an assignment, or just want to beat the deadline to make their grades look a little better. This can really slow down your progress as you wait for your grade. As long as you're still good at finishing all your assignments, you won't have too much trouble finding an extra tut or. There are a few different options.Another option is to join the credits online courses that have come into being. Some students are well versed in English and other subjects but don't really understand what it means to learn it online. These courses are available online and offer many different types of courses for students to take, from history, to health, to computer science, to humanities.An even better alternative would be to take up a job in the classroom to get a student's attention. By signing up to volunteer or become a volunteer to help at the school, you can get your student's attention and get him involved in the classwork. This is great as long as the student actually understands what you're doing and you give him a variety of different projects. You should always tell your student what your real goal is and give him some freedom.Many students don't realize that they are forgetting to do something and that they are forgetting important pieces of information. Teaching them in a one on one setting is the best way to get them in the right frame of mind and get them up to speed quickly. Once again, teaching should be focused on getting your student to get everything done.In the end, it's all about who is doing the teaching and who is helping the student. If the student is doing the teaching, then it's worth paying for a private tutor and teaching alone.Extra tutoring is not only good for students, but it's also an excellent way to promote learning. It's also a great way to make your life easier. Start looking for more tutoring opportunities and see how much it can really help you.
