5 Ways to Master High School Physics

5 Ways to Master High School Physics Oftentimes, when the three main science courses that students take in high school Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are ranked in order of favorite to least favorite, Physics winds up at the bottom of the list. There are a plethora of reasons for this, but one of the big ones is that many students find Physics very difficult to grasp. Struggles in a class can easily lead to negative feelings toward it, so it is not difficult to see why many students try to steer clear if they can. Despite its notoriety, Physics can actually be an enjoyable and useful class with tons of real-world applications (from improving your golf swing to launching a rocket), and you can get through it relatively painlessly by following these simple tips. 1. Familiarize yourself with key math lessons first Physics can be taught as both Algebra-based and Calculus-based. No matter which type of Physics you are taking, it is crucial to ensure you have a thorough understanding of the mathematics concepts associated with it. Here are 5 tips for taking better math notesthat may help you. Since Physics is essentially the application of mathematical principles to model the world around you, you will need a solid grasp of Algebra and/or Calculus in order to better comprehend the theoretical math and calculations that pop up in Physics problems. 2. Understand concepts before class There are two parts to Physics: understanding the concepts and applying the concepts to actually solve a problem mathematically. Try to get a conceptual understanding before class, and worry about the math that comes with it once lecture begins. Try to reason your way through the ideas presented in the text. Understand what terms mean, how they relate to each other, and what units are attached to them. Knowing your terms thoroughly will be extremely useful when it comes to actually solving problems, as oftentimes you must substitute formulas into each other to come up with a workable function that includes all the terms you are given. If there are worked examples in the text, look at them, identify all the terms and steps taken to solve, and then rework the examples yourself. This will be the first step in learning to master the problem-solving part of Physics. If you are confused on concepts, terms, or worked examples, make a note and ask in class. 3. Pay attention in class No matter what class you are taking, this tip is crucial to success. The whole point of being in class is to learn something, so pay attention while you are there! Since you have read the material beforehand, you will have a basic understanding of the concepts and will be able to focus on the application to problems during lecture. Normally your teacher will work some example problems, and if you understand the concepts you should be able to follow along. Take good notes, and when you are confused, ask a question! Here are 3 note-taking formats every student should try.The better you can understand concepts and how to solve problems by the time class ends, the easier you will have it when it comes to doing the homework on your own. 4. Work through a variety of problems Just like Calculus, correctly working as many Physics problems as you can will put you on the path to success. Practicing your problem-solving skills repeatedly will help you get the hang of the process that you must go through in order to solve problems in Physics. The more types of problems you see and know how to answer, the more you will hone your problem-solving skills. Here are 4 ways to improve your problem-solving skillsthat you may find useful. 5. Remember the details Even if you are working the same general type of problem, the details may be different. Are you solving for initial or final velocity? Are your units in cm, m, or km or do you have to convert from inches? Making sure that you identify all necessary terms, know what term you are going to find from solving the problem, and use correct and compatible units when solving will help you greatly!

Learn to Play Guitar 4 Common Myths Debunked

Learn to Play Guitar 4 Common Myths Debunked Suzy S. Always wanted to learn to play guitar? Sometimes the first step is the hardest one just simply getting started! Here,  Philip R.  shares the top myths and realities when it comes to playing Not me, I cant, but you dont understand. How many times have these phrases held us back? How many plans were scrapped by us over the years, as negativity held its death grip around our throats? Answer: too many. As you learn to play guitar for the first time, most students are susceptible to such doubtful thinking. We marvel at musicians as doing something magical. But it is imperative that you remember they ALL started somewhere. That being said, there are several nagging myths the newcomer to guitar struggles with before even holding the instrument. I am here to debunk some of the most common myths I usually hear as students learn to play guitar. I believe overcoming these persistent myths is the first step to learning the guitar. So, without further adieu, here they are: Myth #1: “My hands and fingers are too small.” Simply NOT true. I personally have small hands and fingers and it hasn’t held me back or been a detriment to my playing guitar. In full disclosure, it does help to have long fingers but mostly for very technical tricks you will learn much later on in your development. Please remember, it is not VITAL to playing the guitar and you can play thousands of songs with short fingers and hands. Don’t let this common myth hold you back from as you learn to play guitar. My fingers aren’t much bigger than my nine-year-old nephew’s fingers. Myth #2: “I am tone deaf.” This one can be overcome easily, if you find the right guitar teacher who knows how to  train your ears to hear and distinguish tones and more importantly changes in tones. This is a skill that can be learned, like riding a bike or tying your shoelaces. It is best achieved through tuning exercises, practiced again and again, as well as comprehensive ear-training drills. It is necessary of course to be able to tune your guitar. I have personally helped my students overcome, in nearly every case, their perception of being tone deaf in a few short months. These students even went on to listening to a song and recognizing the chords and notes BY EAR, without the aid of tabs, sight reading or YouTube videos. Myth #3: “I don’t have the time to practice.” Well, I have to admit it; in our busy world this is a big one. However, I have always recommended to my students, at all levels, that they put aside only 20 minutes to a half-hour of time. Two to three times a week of slow, deliberate practice is all you need to grasp the concepts and techniques required for playing the guitar. Now granted, practice is repetitious. There is really no way around this. Guitar is learned through repetition but the rewards are so great. Imagine being able to put a CD into your stereo, listening to a song for 15-20 minutes, writing down the chords you hear as you go along, and then PLAYING that song you love. It can happen. I’ve seen it with my own students, mostly within the first five months, if they met me halfway and practiced regularly. It is always a two-way street. Myth #4: “Guitars are really expensive.” These days a new, decent quality guitar can be had for $99. I don’t recommend spending a ton of money up front until you see if you like playing the guitar first.  Of course, you get what you pay for, but remember you can learn on cheaper  guitars just as well as on expensive ones. My first guitar was $40 and was purchased out of a catalog. I had it for years and that was the guitar I learned on.  Besides, you can always get a better guitar as you progress on the instrument.  Just be patient. You have to start somewhere, but you can do it. Well, there you have it. Four guitar myths debunked and up in flames. Please don’t let these or any guitar myths hold you back from taking guitar lessons. You can do it! Make the  most of your life and have fun. You deserve to play your favorite songs on guitar. It will be a skill that lasts a lifetime. Philip R. teaches online guitar lessons. In beginner lessons, students will learn how to tune a guitar, change strings, strum, scales, finger exercises and 28 chords used in today’s most popular music. Book lessons with Philip here!

Why introverts are (really) better networkers - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Why introverts are (really) better networkers - Introvert Whisperer Why introverts are (really) better networkers Most advice articles about building a network start out with overused advice like “take lots of business cards!” and “go to as many events as possible!” and “try emailing strangers out of the blue to see if they’d like to get coffee!”   This is not one of those articles. I’m an introvert.   I’m not interested in talking to a lot of people.   I hate big events, and meetings with strangers make me nervous. I also understand that building authentic relationships is one of the most important things I can do for my career.   As a young professional, I know it’s important to start networking. But how can I do it in an authentic way, avoiding events and coffee with strangers? Through a ton of research and some uncomfortable experimentation, I’ve figured out a system that works for me to meet new people, have interesting conversations, and keep in touch with the people I like. If you’re ready to build a better network, I’ll walk you step-by-step through some of the challenges of introvert networkers and how to overcome them 3 Introvert Advantages to Use While Networking We’ve been led to believe that networking is an extrovert’s game.   The conventional wisdom says if you want to be good at networking, you’ll have to act like an extrovert. I simply don’t buy that. Introverts have been told that they’re inferior networkers.   I call this the Introvert Networker Myth, and there are 3 main reasons why I think it’s a myth: Introverts are better connectorsWe’re better at creating deep relationships. When we connect with someone, it’s powerful and we’re loyal. We’re selective about who we give our attention to, and we’re more skeptical of smooth talkers. We’d rather have one deep conversation than 20 instances of small talk. We love to help, and we only ask for things when we really need the help.All of these things aren’t true for every introvert, but as a whole, introverts have a real advantage at creating loyalty and connection. It’s time we recognized that advantage. The size of your network matters less than the quality of your relationshipsAlmost everyone agrees with this in principle. How many of us actually practice it? If you measure your networking success by the number of business cards you got or the amount of email introductions you’ve received, then you’re doing it wrong. I would rather (and I have) leave a convention center to buy one person a beer than spend all night drinking free beers at the evening event.As an introvert, find people you genuinely like or admire, and invest heavily in them. Jettison the acquaintances who don’t interest you. Events and happy hours are among the worst places to meet peopleThere’s a reason why so much of “networking” is based around events. Extroverts love events because they’re energetic, and you can talk to a lot of people at once.     The problem is at events everyone has rehearsed answers and asks the same questions over and over. You don’t create real connection until you get behind that facade.This morning, I met a guy in the locker room at the gym. It was the third day in a row I saw him in there, so we started talking about P90X. His name is Rich. I have no idea where he works, but I know his arms are sore as hell today. We know something personal about one another.   Because of that, Rich and I are already more connected than I will ever be with the people behind the business cards on my desk.   I’ll probably see Rich tomorrow, too, and we’ll get to know each other a little better.You can skip events and still build a great network. 3 limiting beliefs that stalled my career Okay, so if introverts really have all these networking advantages, why is networking still so hard? For me and for my readers I’ve found 3 main limiting beliefs (there are many others) that hold introverts back from meeting and connecting with new people: Belief: “Some people are born extroverts. I’m just not wired to be good at talking to people.” Reality: When I tested this belief, I found people actually prefer talking to introverts because of one trick up our sleeves: We LISTEN. My active listening made people feel comfortable and valued.   I realized what I thought was a weakness (not being able to think of a lot to say) was actually an asset (thoughtfulness, and good questions).My rule of thumb is to only talk 20% of the time in a conversation and to ask questions to get the other person talking as much as possible.   My conversations stopped being the trite “where do you work,” “what do you do,” etc as soon as I brought curiosity and generosity to the conversation. Belief: “If I try to start a conversation I’ll get embarrassed, or worse, ignored.”Reality: I did an experiment where I spoke to 5 random strangers every day. It was terrifying for me, but my fears were unfounded.   We talked about the weather, or where a stranger got his cool shoes.   I realized the stakes of starting a conversation were never as high as I was making them in my head.   Pro tip: people love to get compliments. Belief: “I just have to be myself, and eventually I’ll get noticed for x (a new job, a raise, a promotion, an award, etc)”Reality: I could write a whole article about this limiting belief alone. I wish we lived/worked in a society that spontaneously recognized great work and automatically gave promotions to those who deserve it most.   Unfortunately, we don’t.   I found I have to communicate to my boss and others what I’m doing well.   It’s not shameless self-promotion but making sure I’m valued at work.   For me, the best way to do this was in our weekly meeting, presenting metrics for the things I’ve accomplished. If you hate events, where do you meet new people? I meet new people in two main places. I suggest you try these, though your results may vary from mine: Ask the people you currently know who you should meet - Explain a project to a friend then ask who they know that could help. This has the benefit of getting a warm introduction and not needing a topic for conversation. Instead, you get to talk with someone about a project. The hard part? You need to be working on something interesting and worthy of talking about. Go volunteer on a committee, nonprofit board, etc This is great because you get to show off your expertise. Tons of organizations need volunteers to offer skills and/or time. You may be able to get to know organizers of events, work with high-profile speakers, or meet regularly with colleagues in your industry. The main benefit of this approach is that your hard work will earn you respect, and you’ll develop relationships around a common cause. These aren’t the only places to develop your network as an introvert. At your job, do your best to stay in touch with clients you’ve liked and former coworkers. Calling people on their birthdays is a great way to keep in touch. Networking as an introvert (for everyone, really) should be a long game. Of course, everyone’s network will be built on a combination of these and other tactics. Be genuine. Ask lots of questions. Stay interested in other people. Keep in touch with people you’ve liked, and with time you will build a great network. Over to You Today, I don’t have a huge network, and I don’t need one.   But I do have a small group of people I like and respect who I stay in touch with.   I know if I need their help, they’ll be willing to help me at a moment’s notice.   That’s my definition of a great network for an introvert. Maybe you see your own limiting beliefs above.   Or maybe you’ve thought of a different psychological barrier for introverts not on my list.   Share your #1 barrier in the comments below.

English Conversation Class Immigration and Emigration

English Conversation Class Immigration and Emigration Last weeks topic for our group English conversation class about travel naturally led us to a conversation about immigration and emigration. They are complicated topics, with potentially different meanings to different people.For some, immigration immediately brings to mind illegal immigration. This isnt just an issue between the U.S. and its neighbors to the south. When Teauna and I lived in Argentina, people were concerned about the illegal immigration of people from neighboring countries, such as Bolivia and Paraguay. While we lived in Argentina, we overstayed our visa by a few months, technically making us illegal immigrants for a short time.Both legal and illegal immigration bring a lot of issues. Whether youre from the U.S., Argentina, or almost any other country, I suspect that there are people who blame illegal and legal immigrants for economic and social problems. There are others who argue that immigration has positive benefits, such as bringing in more workers, and new idea s and culture.Emigration is also   interesting. In some countries, people talk about brain drains, i.e., when the most intelligent people from a developing country flee for more developed countries at the first opportunity. In the Americas most people have a history of emigration in their background.If you have already taken a group conversation class with us, you will receive your invitation to the class via email on Wednesday morning. If you havent taken a conversation class with us yet, click here to register.A few questions to think about for the class:How have immigration and emigration affected you personally?How have they affected your familys history?How does it affect your country? Your city?Are immigrants treated fairly where you live?Do you think immigration is good or bad for your country?Would you ever emigrate to another country?Here is a humorous look at the illegal immigration issue from the U.S. satiric news show, The Colbert Report:The Colbert ReportMon Thurs 11:3 0pm / 10:30cImmigration Protestswww.colbertnation.comColbert Report Full EpisodesPolitical Humor Satire BlogVideo Archive Euzeli Santos Jr. Interesting text and discussion about immigration and emigration. I just believe that people who are against the immigration forgot who they are, they are also decedents of immigrants. For instance, in US, whats the percentage of the real american people, maybe just the Indians could be considered as americans (real native people) Think about that!

Bedtime Nightmares 5 tips to reduce the stress

Bedtime Nightmares 5 tips to reduce the stress Its a typical night for a family with an ADHD child. You plan to have your child in bed by 8:00, but when 8:00 comes around so soon, you wonder where the evening has gone. Your child is bouncing off the walls, or zoned out in front of the TV, and you have a million things to do before bedtime. You call out to them from the other room, telling them to stop what theyre doing and get ready for bed. But when you go to check on her 15 minutes later, she hasnt made any progress! Feeling frustrated, you hover, you nag, and you do things for her that you think she should be able to do on her own. When shes finally in bed, shes complaining that shes not tired and cant sleep, and youre both irritated. Yet again, youre ending the day on a sour note. Sound familiar? Bedtime can be challenging, especially when your child has ADHD. Try these tips to break the bad bedtime cycle: Have a set time each night for when your child starts getting ready for bed, and stick to it. Leave enough time to get everything done (teeth brushed, tomorrows clothes picked out, etc.) that they will be done in time for bedtime. Turn off all of the screens at least 1 hour before bedtime. The blue-light that emits from LED screens disrupts sleep. Especially for kids! When you tell your child to get ready for bed, get their attention first, then tell them to get ready for bed. That way, you know theyve heard you. Then stay with them until theyve started to get ready for bed. (Dont walk away when you tell a child to go to bed. Youll come back in 15 minutes to find nothing has happened.) Staying focused and staying with them lets them know that you mean business. Create a list with the steps of your childs bedtime routine, and post it up in a place where your child can check it every night. They may need you to supervise them, or provide a couple of reminders when they are first starting to use their new checklist. Provide a lot of specific praise when your child follows through, I really like how you looked at the checklist and then started to brush your teeth right away! If they need some extra motivation, provide a reward when they complete all of their bedtime routine steps. For example, if they finish their steps by 8:20, then youll read a book together for 10 minutes. ABOUT DR.

Should You Get a Degree in Business

Should You Get a Degree in Business stocksnap.io If you like the fashion world, you could become a buyer for a high-end clothing company and help shape the fashion of the future. Business can help you with that. Or maybe you want to be a financial advisor for small business owners and individuals who will go to you for investing help and even just basic finance help. Many business ventures only require a bachelor’s when you start so you’ll be working right when you graduate. Businesses also like promoting from the inside, so once you get your in in the specific field of business that appeals to you the most, there will always be room for growth. If the company wants you for a position that will require a master’s, they might even help you pay for it, which is actually pretty common in the business realm (I’m jealous!). Studying business also gives many opportunities for traveling, since businesses are always trying to branch out and reach new partners across the world. If you love traveling, a business degree might be the perfect way to do it and get paid for it. My dad has been a sales manager for quite some time, which has allowed him to work in and visit many locations around the world, contributing to his resume and job capabilities. Business is so versatile that there will always be some sort of job opening that will appeal to you, and this will cause you to have an open mind because you might start working for a company that you did not previously know existed. Maybe you’ll be helping a tutoring company expand their services so they can help more students and still get more revenue, or maybe you’ll be a sales manager for a pharmaceutical company who has a new invention for how to make taking medication through syringes more effective. Bottom line, majoring in business allows you to go in multiple directions throughout your career, so there will always be something new and exciting in store for you. Business offers variety, so it’s a good bet, even if someone isn’t fully sure where they want their career to go. Studying business means you won’t be tied down to one thing for the rest of your life, and with the help of experience through jobs and more direction in grad school, you’ll be able to hone in on the aspects of business that you are good at and enjoy. The verdict: Should you study business? Yes, yes you should. Learn more about Kaplan’s test prep options and start building the confidence you need for Test Day.

5 Resources to Organize as a High School Freshman

5 Resources to Organize as a High School Freshman Tips from an Irvine Back-to-School Tutor: 5 Resources to Organize as a High School Freshman Organization is one of the keys to being successful during the first year of high school. During middle school, students are organized by their classroom teacher and parent but, in high school, they will be expected to take on a more independent approach. A 9th-grade teacher will encourage students to ask questions if they are confused or need clarification as opposed to asking each student if they understand the assignment. Students will be expected to do more homework and study for more challenging exams during the 9th grade as well. Once students get off track, it can get very difficult to reorganize, and they may feel overwhelmed and behind for the remainder of the year. As a result, prevention is the best cure when it comes to high school level organization. 1. A Weekly Schedule It’s important for high school freshmen to take a look at their weekly schedule and make sure they have enough free time to complete all of their self-studies. They will have classes from around 7:30 in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon and should expect to spend at least a couple hours at home completing assignments. Students are not yet old enough to work, but they may be participating in sports or other after school activities that take up a lot of their time. Students should also leave time to schedule in working with a tutor if they need help in a particular subject (READ: 4 Ways to Adjust to Back to School). 2. A Reasonable Number of Extracurricular Activities Elementary and middle school children often have a large number of extracurricular activities to keep them busy in the afternoon. After students start high school, they will need quite a bit of time to manage their homework assignments. As a result, its a good idea to set a reasonable number of extracurricular activities that still allow students time to work on the self study. Some sports leagues meet a couple of times a week while others meet every day after school. Students may be in art, music, and ballet classes in middle school but should pick their favorite as they adjust to their first year of high school. Each student is an individual, so its important they think about what works for them and their goals. 3. Reorganizing During Break Holiday breaks are a great time for students to sit down and reorganize. Backpacks and study desks can overflow with out-of-date assignments and crumpled up pieces of paper. It’s a good idea for students to sit down with their parents or with an Irvine private tutor during a break and make sure they have only what they need. Old assignments should not be thrown away but rather filed into a drawer where they can access it later if they need to study for the final exam. Basic reorganization a few times a year is essential to maintaining a successful high school career. 4. Academic Support Many students will need academic support during their first year of high school due to the increased amount of difficulty. Basic science is now chemistry and English, and language arts is now 18th-century poetry. These more complicated subtopics can be confusing and difficult to a new student. Thus, the organization often falls by the wayside and students need help both with their assignments and staying on top of things. 5. Breaking up Assignments Into Smaller Parts Another way students can stay organized is to break larger assignments into smaller parts. For instance, perhaps a research paper is due two weeks from today. That means it will probably take students a week and a half to two weeks to complete it. Its important to break up the assignment into smaller parts such as writing an outline tomorrow, conducting initial research on Saturday afternoon, and writing the final draft three days before the due date. Students who can organize the timeframe of their assignments are more likely to be successful because they will have extra time to fix mistakes when necessary (READ: 4 Reasons to Multitask While Studying).
