Women in the Library - Using Friendship With Women to Write Literature

Women in the Library - Using Friendship With Women to Write LiteratureIn his effort to make Lucy a great violinist, Ernest Hemingway recruits the services of an English tutor. The two become good friends, and later share what little they have between them.He becomes a good friend of the Englishman's daughter. The girl who is not so beautiful as her father. But when she comes to meet with her tutor in the capital city, it is clear that he is much more handsome than her father.This is one of those cases where a character in a novel reads a passage out of the newspaper and forgets everything he has read. She writes a poem about him, and he thinks that she has stolen the poem. So he shoots an arrow at her and eats the heart. This was in a scene where one of the old ladies in the bar is killed by another.This young lady comes to visit the teacher who was somewhat afraid of her, when she tells him that she wants to be an actress. They fall in love and move into each other's apartments. The poor kid goes insane, and only the poet can save her.After returning from a trip abroad, Ernest Hemingway becomes ill and stops writing. He goes to bed for two weeks, then gets up and starts writing again. For thirty-five days he writes five hundred pages of poetry, and he wakes up after the first week, with no more inspiration to write. He meets a journalist who was there on his trip, and the writer reveals that Ernest didn't write because he couldn't breathe. He doesn't feel much better, and dies on the eleventh day.As in the earlier story, Teddy Roosevelt falls in love with a redhead. He goes to the Opera House to see a ballet performed by this very redheaded girl. It is the same girl who took the chair in the opera, when he was there for the battle of Shiloh. The girl then goes on to marry a clerk in the Library, and has a child named Dolly Roosevelt.Now the teacher finds himself falling in love with the same girl. He later says that he really loves a woman who is not beautiful , and knows how to dress herself. I don't know if the stories are true, but I do know that a man can dream, and a woman can teach.

Ten Most Common Study Mistakes

Ten Most Common Study Mistakes Improving Academic Performance Tests are part and parcel of school, and are especially important in higher education; whether it’s midterms and finals in college, language exams or massive paid exams required for certifications, tests are used to demonstrate each student’s knowledge of the material and determine whether or not they’ll pass. Studying for an adequate amount of time before taking the NCLEX is vital (ignore the nursing pun), as it has a direct impact on your final test score. However, simply setting aside a large amount of study time won’t guarantee high test scores; the effectiveness of studying is just as important as the amount of time is spent on the material. To aid the study process, here are ten common study mistakes nursing students make, and how to avoid them. #1. Studying Too Much Studying for longer tends to produce higher test scores, but there comes a point where study length begins to have an adverse effect on grades. This is especially true for nursing students, as so much of your time is tied up in working. Also, since being a nurse tends to be more stressful than, say, an accountant, the effect of too much time spent studying may exacerbate things even more. Prepping for longer than 9 hours can cause a loss in focus, failure to retain the information, and fatigue from cutting into time better spent sleepingâ€"since sleep is a commodity in the nursing world, try to get as much as possible! #2. Studying Too Soon It’s not a good idea to study a few hours before the NCLEX, even if students believe this means the information will be fresh in their minds. Studies have shown that relational memory is directly related to sleep, so the most ideal time to study is at least 24 hours before the test so you can sleep on the information. #3. Studying in One Place While students may have an ideal study location, such as a library, your bedroom, or a hospital bed that’s not taken, it’s far better to study in a few different locations. Frequent changes in environment will lead to a stronger memory of the study material, as environmental context reinforces memory. #4. Studying All Night As previously mentioned, sleep plays a vital role in your memory. All-nighters are okay every so often, but nursing students need a decent amount of sleep after study sessions in order to retain the information they stored. If you’re too pressed for time to get a good night’s sleep, try to get a power nap in at the very least. #5. Studying Only One Way It’s important to take the material students are studying and apply it in different ways. It’s important for students to read different sections out loud, transcribe notes onto paper with a pen, and quiz themselves with flashcards. If they simply memorize the study guide, instead of gaining any practical knowledge, they’ll just be able to regurgitate the study guide on a blank sheet of paper. #6. Studying on an Empty Stomach To study better, your brain needs to have the proper nutrients. Most nursing students already know of the benefits caffeine has on focus, but there are some other foods that will improve your memory and concentration, such as avocados, fish and dark chocolate. Also, find a nutritionist at your hospital and get them to give you a basic meal planâ€"this should be somewhat easy if you have good relationships with your coworkers. #7. Studying Alone Students can be prone to distraction and cause mistakes in their notes that they’ll fail to catch IF they study alone. Studying with a partner or a study group will ensure students get through material quickly, and can compare notes to ensure accuracy. #8. Studying in a Bad Mood Most students can get easily stressed out, especially as the NCLEX date approaches. As a result, that stress may cause their memory to suffer. It’s important to encourage students to relax before any study session. They could try meditation, light exercise, or breathing essential oils such as lavender and eucalyptus. Those options can soothe those nerves and clear their head. #9. Studying Without Breaks Be sure to encourage students to take frequent breaks when studying for long periods of time. An effective study schedule is the Pomodoro Technique, which recommends taking short breaks every 25 minutes of work, with longer breaks interspersed over longer periods. #10. Studying With Distractions Technology can be very helpful when studying, but it is just as likely to be detrimental due to the limitless distractions of smartphones and the Internet. Students should try turning off their phone or disabling the network connection on their computer. Without the distractions they may find it easier to concentrate and be more productive. Conclusion Studying for the NCLEX can be daunting, but not impossible. It’s important for students to plan out their study sessions ahead of time, so they can devote enough time and energy to the study process. Similarly, it’s imperative that their mental and physical health isn’t neglected during their studies. Sharing these techniques with your class will make the studying process easier and get students ready for any test at any education level.

What to Consider if You Plane on Going to Grad School

What to Consider if You Plane on Going to Grad School Ask a Nerd! Question: I am starting my last year of college. What should I consider if I want to go to graduate school in the near future? Brief: If you have taken on the arduous but rewarding task of applying to graduate school there are a few things that can help you along the way (like one of our Orange County grad school consultants) and, as an experienced student, there are more options afforded to you. Answer There are several options for potential grad students but the first thing you should think about is when you want to go to grad school. Many students are in fields that require them to have a MA/MS or even a PhD prior to entering their professional field; however most professions offer some sort of paid work prior to earning a graduate degree. If you are choosing to work for two years or so in order to gain professional working experience in your field then your application timeline is more relaxed. Alternately, if you want to go to graduate school straight away after you receive your undergraduate degree then there are a few things that you should start right now. Step 1 Take the GRE (or LSAT or MCAT) It is better to get this test out of the way before you get too far into the application process our Irvine GRE tutors are here to help. If you are also in your senior year of undergrad, this means that you will be spending a lot of time studying. Most likely, you won’t have taken a standardized test since the good old SAT or ACT, so I recommend getting a tutor to help you get started and buying a test prep book to help you get back in the mental grove of standardized exams. Step 2 Make a list of at least 5 schools that you wish to apply to Now that you are in your 20’s, moving across the country may not be ideal. If you already have a good job, you may want to look at local schools as well as schools that offer blended learning (both online and on campus options). Many highly reputable universities also offer 100% online programs for working adults, so that is another good option to look into. Look for programs that will get you closer to your professional goal. You will want to start working as soon as you can after grad school so it’s extremely important to pick your program and your school wisely (Ask a Nerd! How Many Colleges Should I Apply to?). Image via: effectivestudentmarketing.com You will also want to have a fabulous entrance essay. If you were an English composition or a creative writing major, then it’s no sweat. If not, look into an essay tutor for some guidance. Step 3 Consider your current lifestyle After the end of your senior year, you will no longer be a full time student in the traditional sense. Although anyone can go back to school at any point in their life or career, the 20’s bring on a new set of responsibilities. There are more bills to pay and more responsibilities, along with new privileges and freedoms. Think about what your lifestyle will be like for the next 5 years or so. Are you planning to work full time from 8-5 in a traditional office environment? Are you planning to take out a loan and pay it back later? Will you be living in your current city or are you willing to move to another state? Will you be working part time or from a home office, where your schedule is relatively flexible? Are you planning to start a family or add other social responsibilities into your life in the next few years? Additional ifs to consider If you are working a traditional office environment, a blended or online program might be the right option for you. If you are planning to take out a loan, you may want to be a full time student once again and get through your program in the minimum amount of time so that you can start working full time in your field right after graduation. If you want to stay in your current city, you should look at local universities or online programs from out of state schools. If you are working part time or from a home office, you may have the flexibility to choose any of the options that suit your needs. If you have a family or other social responsibilities, you may want to look into blended learning where you can completely focus in an on campus environment part of the time while still enjoying the convenience of a part time online educational program (READ: Best Libraries in South Orange County for Studying).

Robots, virtual reality, and the future of education - Tutor Hunt Blog

Robots, virtual reality, and the future of education Robots, virtual reality, and the future of education Robots, virtual reality, and the future of educationSchoolsVirtual reality was all the rage in the early 90`s - it was the new `cool` technology. Not dry and academic like the PC`s that were beginning to creep into everyone`s home, it seemed to offer astounding possibilities, promising the public that they could become fully immersed in computer generated worlds. We would be able to visit strange and wonderful fantasy realms, experience simulated space flight, enjoy films and computer games like never before - all this while sitting comfortably at home wearing a sophisticated display device. The reality was rather more disappointing - I can remember queuing up for hours at a busy shopping centre in central London, waiting eagerly to try the new virtual reality machine. The device was truly huge - it seemed to resemble a tank, and I can remember feeling, as I finally got to the front of the queue and stepped into the device, that I was about to have a life changing experience. Ten minutes later (and 20 poorer) I was still suffering from nausea, my stomach retching from what was a bad case of motion sickness. The problem was the technology hadn`t been perfected - the huge viewing goggles were not able to adjust in real time, so when I turned my head, it took a few seconds for the crudely rendered polygon landscape to catch up. The result was a nauseating feeling, and this was a complaint voiced by many. That seemed to be the end of virtual reality - it had a bit part in a couple of films of the period: The original Jurassic Park movie showed scientists manipulating genes at a molecular level using the fashionable technology; while the forgotten movie The Lawnmower Man had a number of extended VR scenes. Decades passed - it seemed the VR craze was just a blip, a piece of 90`s nostalgia. But in 2012 the company Oculus VR, a division of Facebook Ltd, began a Kickstarter campaign, hoping to develop their new headset. In 2016 their product was released - VR had returned! They seemed to have ironed out all the issues that halted the project 2 decades ago: thanks to more powerful and affordable computers, the irritating image lag had been overcome. How does all this relate to the education sector though? The potential for games and movies seem obvious, but could VR be used to help children in the classroom? Mark Steed, Director of the Dubai public school Jess certainly believes so. He is already trialling his idea, in which a robot with a 360 degree camera is situated at the second row of a classroom. Footage from the lesson can then be viewed in real time by anyone anywhere in the world. `When you put a headset on you feel as if you are in a classroom and it`s a very different experience from the passive idea of watching a screen, I can turn to the left and right and see the people who are in the class there,` he said. `There`s no reason with time, with increasing bandwidth and processor speed and everything, that you couldn`t have the experience of a pupil sitting anywhere in the world feeling as if they were in the classroom of one of the top schools in the world.` This all might sound rather peculiar - a classroom with a robot in attendance! Children going to school by putting on headsets, and sitting in virtual lessons! Mark Steed is aiming to reach out to the 263 million children across the globe who do not attend school. That really is an astonishing figure - more than four times the population of the United Kingdom. If these children can benefit from this technology, if they can atend (in however synthetic a form) a classroom with a well qualified teacher, that it can only be a good thing. Mr Steed recently outlined his proposal at the HMC conference in Belfast, claiming that VR headsets would enable a child in the developing world to attend a lesson in a high ranking independent school. Though this technology is unlikely at present to change the way lessons are presented in the UK, it seems certain that technology is going to have an ever more integral role in the education sector. Already lots of top universities upload many (if not all) their lectures onto youtube. In this way anyone can, from the comfort of their own home, obtain a university an education for no charge. Anything that can extend the voices of teachers to a larger audience must be good - it does indeed seem such a shame that the wisdom of so many teachers is caged within the rooms they are teaching in, their edifying words fading with the echoes. If education is the key to setting people free, the way to help the hundreds of millions of children currently lacking this gift may be liberating the lessons themselves from the narrow constraints of the classroom. 2 years ago0Add a Comment

Are Online Courses for You 8 Questions to Ask Yourself

Are Online Courses for You 8 Questions to Ask Yourself Image via Pixabay.com At Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, online courses are taken by students through a website called Canvas. In Canvas, professors and TAs provide the course material through modules that students will have access to. Professors have the option of posting quizzes and tests online through the Canvas website. These tests usually have time limits, just like traditional, classroom-based courses, and are open-note. Many professors make the most of the online nature of their course by posting interesting links to sites around the web that will help their students better meet the course objectives. Some Florida State online courses don’t have required textbooks; instead, students make use of readings, PowerPoint presentations, videos, and texts that are provided by the professor and are posted under “Modules” on Canvas. Even though your physical presence in a classroom won’t be required for many online courses out there (which may sound like a dream to some students), there are still many difficulties that come with being enrolled in an online course.   As I mentioned before, you won’t be in a classroom. Because of this, it might be easier for some individuals to forget about an upcoming test in the course or an assignment that is due at midnight. Without a physically present professor and the familiar classroom surroundings, students have grown accustomed to, some may find it difficult to remind themselves to get a virtual assignment finished. Some may even let deadlines slip by without realizing there was an assignment in the first place. So, after reading through the above, how do you know if an online course is going to be right for you? Here are eight questions to ask yourself before you enroll in online courses 1.  Am I doing this because it seems like the easy route? Online courses are not the easy route. If anything, online courses can be more difficult. You won’t have the professor right in front of you to ask questions and it’s up to you to set deadlines for when assignments get finished. Don’t take an online course if you’re thinking this is the easy way to pass this particular class. 2.  Do I have the technology to complete an online course efficiently? As the name implies, online courses are going to be, for the most part, strictly taught through online means. This means that you will need to have access to a computer. If you don’t own a home computer or a laptop, you will need to be prepared for visits to your campus’s library or your local public library. Some libraries allow you to check out a laptop for use at home! 3.  Am I motivated enough to be in an online course? Taking online courses requires a lot of motivation. You won’t be face-to-face with your professor. Sometimes, it might not even seem like you’re in the course. That’s why it’s important to have the motivation to complete this particular course. If you’re a self-motivated person, you can easily handle online courses. 4.  Why am I taking this course online? What are your reasons for taking this online course? If it’s because you think this course is going to be easier because it’s online, you may want to rethink taking an online course. 5.  How organized am I? A lot of online courses require submitted documents and projects. Are you the type of person to keep text, photos, and videos carefully labeled and categorized in your laptop’s folders? Or do your documents seem to have the tendency to turn up in the most random of places? 6.  Am I able to interact meaningfully online with other people? Interacting with your classmates, professors, and TAs through email is a staple of online classes. If you’re going to take online courses, will you be able to effectively communicate with the other people sharing in this course? Discussion board posts are a common thing in many online courses. If you know you can do this, don’t feel intimidated by online courses. 7.  Can I afford to take an online course? Price is another thing to take into consideration. Online courses usually cost more than traditional classroom courses. Will you be able to afford the extra hundreds of dollars taking an online course is going to cost you? 8.  Am I comfortable with using technology? How good are you with navigating the Internet? Typing emails? Communicating with others online? After you have asked yourself all of these questions, look back and see how comfortable you feel with each question. If your answers put you at ease with the thought of taking online courses, then you are ready to enroll in an online course next semester. Good luck!

Chemistry A Molecular Approach - Does it Stand By Its Claims?

Chemistry A Molecular Approach - Does it Stand By Its Claims?Chemistry A Molecular Approach is not as good as its predecessors. If you had read it in the first two editions, then you know that this is not the same book as in the first one. There are some major changes, and it is no longer a book about the Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry but more like a step-by-step recipe book.The author of this book is now Dr. John Stewart, who has taught Chemistry for more than 20 years at Leeds University. However, there is no relation between this book and his Ph.D. from the same university. Some of the new chapters are not mentioned in previous versions of the book, so you cannot learn them if you have not read the previous versions of this book.When the authors start the study of the fundamental concepts of chemistry, they focus on the chemical properties of the elements and compounds. But, when they are in the last pages of the book, they introduce the molecular theory, also called 'molecula r mechanics' and some of the phenomena that are related to it. It is strange that the authors give so much importance to properties are introduced very late, but in the end it makes the book very boring.You would not understand all the concepts of molecular physics, and that is why the authors introduce other topics instead. There are lots of problems in reading textbooks for free, so this is no different. As I have already said, it is not a good book for a first-time student who wants to learn chemistry by doing.If you want to be able to practice, then you need to do some experiments and it would be a waste of your time to read the book and spend some days doing experiments, only to get disappointed because it does not teach you much. The reason for that is that there are only a few concepts taught in the book. In fact, only the basics are covered. Even those are not in the right order and there are some confusing statements.You may even ask yourself why you can not download it as a PDF file for free. But the fact is that this book is now being distributed on a paid basis. However, the information in the book still remains the same.If you want to read a book about Chemical Physics, you may find Chemistry A Molecular Approach very useful. However, if you just want to learn more about chemistry and do experiments, then you should try other books instead.
