Lab Reports for Biology Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace

Lab Reports for Biology Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace Of all the branches of science, biology is perhaps the most unique as it tries to unravel the mysteries of life. It is universal and knows noboundaries. If it is to be learnt effectively it must be experienced and if it is to be experienced it must be learnt individually by observation and experimentation. This is possible only one does things by himself. And the only place where the things can be experienced under controlled condition is the laboratory. Thus laboratory work becomes one of the most important, integral and inalienable part of the study of biology. Biology is a science which deals with the structure of living things and tells us how they function. In short we can say it is a science of life. Like all other sciences the study of biology remains incomplete unless the various facts studied, are not tested or confirmed practically. In past much scientific works was done outdoors in Nature Laboratory, indeed much biological work must still be done outdoors to get first-hand information about nature and its various living forms. For the students of life science, biology laboratory becomes a most important place where they learn things practically. While doing the physiological experiments, device the experiment as per the instructions carefully. Record the correct observations .Keeping records is the most important aspects of biological work. Record your observations immediately as soon as you make them, in clear simple and precise language in the prescribed practical note book. Do not do rough work. Make your own records even if you are working in a group.

5 Steps to Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning

5 Steps to Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning LSAT Law School Blog There are three basic parts to the LSAT Logical Reasoning question: argument question (what the test writers want you to figure out about the argument) answer choices Mastering the LSAT Logical Reasoning questions requires becoming comfortable with each of the three parts of the Logical Reasoning question. The best way to do this is to break up the question and address each part separately. 1. Read the question. Starting with the question helps you get in the right frame of mind for what you will need to do answer this question. It helps to focus on what you should be focusing on when reading the argument. Note: Does the question have the word “EXCEPT” in it? Don’t forget that! Underline, highlight, or circle it. Do whatever works best for you to draw your attention back to this word after you are done reading the argument. It is a common mistake to miss questions with “EXCEPT.” Students get tunnel vision when reading the argument and forget that the question wants them to find the answer that does not fit with the argument. So, reminding yourself of what you are really being asked to do will help you avoid making this mistake and help you get valuable points. 2. Read the argument. Read the argument carefully. Underline or highlight key words. Pay special attention to anything related to the question. For example, did the question ask about the conclusion? If so, pay extra attention to what the conclusion of the argument is. 3. Put the argument in your own words. What is the writer really trying to say? Put in plain English. Write a 1-2 line summary for yourself next to the question. This way you have a quick reference that makes sense to you, and you do not have to waste time rereading the argument. Also, the majority of questions focus on the conclusion or main point, so having a good handle on this part of the argument will always benefit you. 4. Put the answer the question in your own words. Before looking at the answer choices, answer the question yourself. A lot of the answer choices are lengthy or complicated. Putting the answer in your own words first helps you stay on the right track and not get confused. It can be difficult to put answers in your own words at first, especially for questions that ask you to weaken or strengthen the argument. The temptation is to think: “How could I possibly come up with everything that could weaken/strengthen this argument?” But don’t get overwhelmed. The point is not to come up with every possible answer. The point is to just get you thinking about the right things, so all you need to do is come up with one plausible answer. 5. Find the answer choice closest to your own answer. It is unlikely that your exact answer is in the choices, but chances are, something similar is. Use your own answer to help eliminate answer choices and help you select the right answer. The key to the LSAT Logical Reasoning questions is PRACTICE! The more you do, the more comfortable you will become with these questions. If possible, designate some time on a regular basis to do practice problems. It is better to do 5-10 problems every day than 50 problems in one sitting once a week. Your brain needs time to process what it is learning. You will get more out of your studying if you practice in small amounts on a regular basis than if you have cram sessions on weekends. Jayeeta is a private LSAT tutor in Chicago and Boston.

Simple Academic Strategies Part One

Simple Academic Strategies Part One Improving Academic Performance Acting strategically is a key to success in education, business, and, really life in general. Before starting MyGuru I was a business strategy consultant, so I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the process of developing strategies. For a business, a typical strategy development process consists of something like: Agree on a specific goal, for example, to double profit Gather a bunch of facts on your company, your competitors, your markets, and your customers Summarize your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, etc. Create some alternative courses of action which take all of the above into consideration Evaluate those courses of action using agreed upon criteria, such as: what would it cost, how risky is it, how long would it take, etc. Choose the best alternative course of action Develop a specific plan with a timeline and clear understanding of who’s accountable for performing each item in the plan Students, like businesses, need to employ strategies to be successful. It may seem obvious, but if you don’t set specific goals, understand exactly what is required to reach them, and develop clear plans for what you will and will not do to achieve the goal, you’ll be much less successful than people that do these things. Setting goals, researching what is required to reach those goals, and developing specific plans that lay out what you will or will not do, is the essence of developing a strategy. As we’ve discussed before on this blog in articles on the growth mindset and on deliberate practice, research shows that successful people aren’t smarter, or even harder workers. They tend to focus on the ability to improve (growth mindset), which makes them grittier, and when they practice, they do so deliberately. However, what they also tend to do is think more strategically about what they’re doing and how it will help them accomplish their goals. Let’s look at what this could mean for a typical college student on two different levels: #1 choosing your classes and #2 performing well in any given class. In this post, we’ll focus on choosing classes. In our next post, we’ll dive into acting strategically within the context of doing well in a specific class. #1 Choosing What Classes to Take Many high school and college students pick classes based on the requirements of their current major, even though they may not be 100% sure they really want to major in that area. They assume they have to choose a path, and then follow it. The decision to change paths later, which perhaps they could see coming had they really laid out their options, comes with a lot of stress and inefficiencies (i.e., another semester or year in college, etc.). They probably also tend to care a little too much about things like timing of the classes, how interesting the class seems to them, and what they’ve heard about it from friends. These seem like natural, and common, criteria. But, they aren’t that strategic or fact-based. A more strategic approach might be to recognize that you have a few goals you’re trying to meet when choosing classes: meeting the requirements of your major, meeting the requirements of another major you might decide to pursue, communicating that you have certain skills to potential future employers so you are an attractive candidate, and perhaps getting exposed to new ideas across multiple disciplines (after all, you only go to college once), as well as graduating in four years. And, perhaps timing of the classes, general interest, and recommendations also play a role. If you know you need to meet the requirements for your major, but also aren’t sure if you’re even going to keep your current major, then that presents an additional, special challenge. As you lay out your class options, you may notice, having thought fully about the goals you have in mind when choosing classes, that there are some classes which meet many of these goals: they fulfill requirements for multiple majors that interest you, they seem interesting, they make your resume more interesting to future employers, the timing isn’t too bad, etc. The way to notice this is to, like a business might, layout your goals, and perhaps prioritize them. Then, gather all the relevant facts. In this case, the facts that most students sometimes don’t gather are hidden in the course descriptions and literature about major requirements. By digging into these documents, you often find courses that fulfill requirements across multiple majors. You could imagine that a classed called “The Economic Role of Individual Governments in the European Union” might meet a requirement for a major or minor in History, Political Science, and Economics. But, you won’t know this without dong some research and gathering facts. Some simple online research about what types of classes impress certain types of employers is another area in which to gather some facts. If you have a hunch you might be interested in a career in consulting or finance, taking some math or statistics classes, at the margin, will demonstrate analytical ability. If you are considering a career in Marketing, psychology classes will demonstrate an interest in an area of knowledge that’s highly relevant for that career. Of course, there will always be tradeoffs. You could image there being a class which seems like a perfect fit for several majors, actually seems interesting to you, and is taught be a well-like professor. But, it’s only available at 8AM on Fridays. All things considered, you might want to take that class. Ultimately, you can just write down on a piece of paper a long list of potential classes, and then across the top of the piece of paper, write out a list of goals you’re trying to accomplish. If the class helps meet that goal, give it a check. To be able to do this, you will need to gather and reflect on the right facts. By simply thinking strategically about your goals and all of the reasons you might choose one set of classes over another, you can create options for yourself around choosing a different major in the future without needing to stay in school an extra year, or perhaps even earning an extra minor or major degree, while also positioning yourself to look good in front of future employers with specific class experiences that they value. hbspt.cta._relativeUrls=true;hbspt.cta.load(215486, '6baac2ae-05a3-4610-9d1f-265c8cbd809f', {});

Central European teaching program in Hungary (CETP) Teaching English in Hungary might not be the first adventure that crosses your mind when you think about teaching in Europe. But that doesn’t mean you should discount it.

The CETP program is open to native English speakers from any European country, the US and Canada. There are positions in the countryside for teachers who don’t have a four-year degree, but if you want to be placed somewhere like Budapest, then you’ll need an undergrad degree in any subject, a TEFL certificate and 20 hours of teaching experience. Teachers are paid a stipend of about $500 per month, which will go a long way as there is a very cheap cost of living.

Teachers are required to have at least a degree (and preference will be shown to those with a background in education) as well as a TEFL certification and some teaching experience. The salary is in line with the cost of living and teachers will be paid about $1,200 per month. Accommodation will either be provided for free or a very small fee. It’s organized by the school, either way, to save you having to negotiate! To find out more about the Teachers of English Program, visit the Czech Republic Embassy website. 4. TAPIF program in France France is beckoning! Freshly-baked baguettes from the boulangerie first thing in the morning, cycling through winding vineyards and sipping coffee on cobbled streets ?.

From the street artists speckling the streets of Barcelona to the dram of the flamenco , and the action-packed ski seasons in the Pyrenees - there will never be a shortage of things to do...or eat. Tapas Rioja, anyone? Becoming an Auxiliares de conversación (aka a language assistant) is one of the best ways to teach English in Spain. English teachers will be asked to work anywhere between 12 - 16 hours a week. Residents from any of the following countries are welcomed: any EU country, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia or China. The salary can be anything from $790 - 1,100 which is plenty to get by in a country with a fairly low cost of living. To qualify, you will need to have a TEFL certificate and at least be enrolled in a four-year degree program! Other than that, it’s not overly strict and teachers with relatively little or no experience can land a spot on the program. For more information on becoming a language and cultural assistant in Spain - check out the program’s official website. 2. SITE program in Italy It’s hard to imagine living in Italy without an entire list of food running through your mind…. So, let’s get that over with first…??…. Needless to say, if you opt to teach English in Italy you’ll be fed well. From its quaint cafes to seaside towns and picturesque cities, Italy is a place that lives in the hearts and minds of people all over the world. If you want to teach English here, it’s worth looking into the SITE program.

The Switzerland Language Assistant Program Nestled in the heart of Europe, there’s no doubt that Switzerland is a wonderful place to teach English and indulge in the odd adventure.

It’s a country teachers tend to enjoy teaching as teachers are valued. You will only be expected to teach about 12 hours a week, with the most a school can ask for maxing out at 20 hours. Leaving you plenty of time to plan classes...and weekend adventures! ?? With both German and French-speaking regions, you’re most likely to find yourself in a Swiss-German school with this program. That’s not to say there aren’t French positions available; there are just more German ones. Perhaps one of the highest-paid English teaching gigs in Europe, this program offers the equivalent of $3,200 per month and hires assistants for a September start date. The one thing to note is that teachers should at least have a TEFL and two years of a degree completed to qualify. There is an age restriction for this program of 25 - 35 years old, so there’s only a 10-year window in which to take advantage of the program! It’s also a one year post, with those who want to stay having to reapply for a second year. For more information about this program, read the British Council’s Program notes. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Before you go! Here are the typical hiring seasons for schools in Europe? Although there is never any hard-and-fast rule for hiring seasons, it’s worth noting that European schools tend to recruit the bulk of their teachers for the start of term (September). So there’s generally more jobs available around August/September, with last-dash applicants still being hired in October. There’s a subsequent hiring period in January for open positions after the winter break. But we wouldn’t let this guideline limit you. It’s possible to land a job teaching English in Europe at any time of the year. Read this: The best time of year to look for a teaching job abroad revealed How do I land a job in Europe though? There are two main ways to go about this! The first is the more traditional method of scouring teach abroad job boards and trying to find a job that suits you, applying to programs and waiting. But there’s another way. It might take a little bit more bravery and we know it’s not for everyone…. Just jump on a plane Wait, what? I hear you asking. And that’s a perfectly natural response. But the truth is a lot of European schools don’t bother advertising online, particularly in countries like Spain…one of the best ways to actually teach there is to be there. The schools will usually be open to teachers knocking on the door and handing in a resume. There are so many ESL schools in Europe (even in the English-speaking countries like the UK and Ireland) because the continent is a melting pot of cultures, and whether you’re living in London or on a Greek island…there is going to be a need for ESL teachers. If you fancy a job in an English speaking country, you may want to invest in a TESOL or CELTA certificate, as these jobs are a bit more competitive. And if you’ve got a TEFL cert then make sure you land in a country where English is not the primary language! Which is pretty much most countries in Europe. So whip out the world map and get plotting, your European teaching adventure awaits! ?? What are the requirements to teach English in Europe? There are opportunities for those with and without degrees. But if you’re looking for more than just a voluntary or summer position, we recommend having at least a BA to your name before landing. That, coupled with a TEFL certification and fluency in English should be enough to land you an ESL job in most European countries. Although, be warned! If English is the native language (Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales), you may want to consider having a CELTA/TESOL certificate to help get you in the door. The last word on teaching English in Europe (we promise!) The programs we’ve listed are far from the only opportunties to teach in European countries. We recommend downloading our country comparison chart if you’d like to find out more about the sheer wealth of ESL opportunities that span the continent.
