Organic Chemistry

Organic ChemistryOAC organic chemistry is very easy to learn, and a wonderful way to test your skills. There are no labs at all, and all of the lectures are based on real life examples that are laid out in a step by step fashion. They will give you a good foundation in chemistry, and this will lead to much better and more enjoyable chemistry lessons when you take your first real chemistry class.These courses are based on real life examples from situations that most people have faced. For example, suppose you do a bit of an experiment with a fruit you've bought from the supermarket. You add it to water and find that the taste is somewhat disagreeable. The idea here is that we'd all like our food to taste as good as possible, and if that does not happen, then we're in some trouble.What would happen if you started substituting table salt for the fresh juice? You could use table salt with many fruits and vegetables, and the result would be better than some juices. So we begin to see how our favorite foods work together in a chemical reaction.The ability to make these mistakes is part of the fun of pure organic chemistry. It's like taking a ride in a car. If you drive carefully, then you could make those careful turns, without getting into any accidents.However, when you get involved in pure organic chemistry, the focus of the work is on exploring the properties of the molecules involved. It is, to a very large extent, like riding a bike in a physical sense.The most important thing is that you must be able to differentiate the things that seem very similar to each other. This requires both observation and experiment. So, even though it can be very challenging, you must understand that you must be able to do experiments that involve various combinations of chemicals and also follow the rules for labeling them. One example of this is giving a mixture of a name and taking measurements about its properties.The best part of OAC organic chemistry is that it is available t o you online for free. All of the lectures and a selection of the labs are accessible, and it is possible to learn the material using the internet.

The Perception of Math Venus vs. Mars

The Perception of Math Venus vs. Mars The Perception of Math: Venus vs. Mars Mathematics Anxiety” a Cause for Underrepresentation of Women in STEM Fields Performance, social acceptance, preference. There have been many debates on why women are often underrepresented in the male-dominated science, technology, engineering and math fields (STEM). According to one recent study, girls across the globe are experiencing more “math anxiety” than boys, resulting in negative emotions and overall avoidance of math topics. What’s even more concerning? It’s affecting all girls. Even in countries with higher gender equality. You must be wondering, why? Scientists aren’t sure, but signs are pointing towards social conditioning. Parents appear to play a huge role, with the study finding that girls weren’t as likely as boys to say that their parents taught them the value of math. In fact, these findings aren’t totally newâ€"a 2007 study  found that stereotypes could impact academic performance. They tested “stereotype threat” in a classroom setting, with two sets of female students each receiving the same math education, but with one set being taught by an instructor that would mention the stereotype that women aren’t as good at math as men. The result? The class exposed to the stereotype performed noticeably worse on math tests than the controlled class. Whether it be in school or in society, girls may hear gender stereotyped messages about math skills. However, with Kumon, all students, regardless of age, grade or gender, have the opportunity to prove to themselves how capable they are in math on a regular basis because the program allows students to work up to their ability level.

AP Exams and the DBQ How to Improve - by TutorNerds

AP Exams and the DBQ How to Improve - by TutorNerds Tips From an Irvine Test Prep Tutor: AP Exams and the DBQ: How to Improve Many students have started studying for their DBQ essays that will appear on their AP exams in mid May. Many students struggle with the DBQ (document based question) essay because they have to combine both reading comprehension and writing skills while under a tight timeframe. Most students can write a high quality DBQ essay if they are given any amount of time to finish (assuming they had an adequate amount of practice). However, when the clock is ticking on the actual exam day, many students simply dont finish on time or they write a poor quality essay because they rushed. Its critical that students dont waste months of study because they needed more practice on one section of the exam (READ: Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam). 1. Practice makes perfect Students should never attempt to do their DBQ essay for the very first time on the day of the test. Some AP classroom teachers will have focused heavily on the DBQ while others will not. Regardless of the amount of time spent in the classroom, students absolutely have to practice on their own to make sure they can write an essay in the amount of time given. The first thing students should do is buy a reputable test prep book that has multiple practice tests. Students can also rely on their tutor to provide additional questions or even create a mock DBQ essay. Students can start by writing a high quality essay without worrying about time constraints and then learn ways to cut down on time with their tutor. Without having mastered the skill of writing a quality essay, cutting down on time is fruitless. 2. Learn about yourself Each writer is different. No student will automatically fall into a category; it’s important that each AP student has an individualized study plan to put them on the right track. Some students will rush through an intro and conclusion thus making the entire essay of poor quality, while others will suffer from writer’s block and won’t even be able to get started. Its critical for students to know about themselves as writers so they can talk with their tutor about an individualized academic plan. 3. Content over style Before working on the style of the essay students need to master content. Part of mastering the content on a DBQ essay is learning how to find particular supports from each document. Students should highlight and underline as they go so they don’t have to search for this information a second time. Students who are practicing are encouraged to color code or use an organizational system that will help them separate one document from another (READ: Last Minute AP Style Guide). 4. Reading comprehension and speed reading Theres a fine line between effective speed reading and simply scanning a paragraph without picking up the information. This is another situation where practice makes perfect; students taking AP exams this May should work on this technique for several weeks prior to the exam date. Its crucial that students read the documents as quickly as they can while still maintaining a full comprehension of the information given. This is another example of the importance of individualized education and something students should work on with their Irvine test prep tutor. Organization and mental presence are the keys to success on this particular portion of the AP exam. 5. The visual DBQ Many DBQ essays have a photograph or painting in addition to written documents. Unfortunately, its one of the most overlooked documents in the DBQ portion and many students are not able to adequately interpret the visual document or write about it. Students should learn the difference between making a reasonable inference and an assumption that goes too far. They will also need to be able to understand the time period of a photograph or painting and put it in context. For example, a photograph from 1910 will have a different connotation than a painting from 1730. This is another thing that students should discuss with their tutor. If need be, students can write a short summary about each visual document explaining what they were able to comprehend. Students can then show this to their tutor to see how accurate their interpretation was (READ: AP Exams without the class?). In short Although many students find the DBQ essays to be difficult and have trouble cutting down on their time, it’s possible to do so with enough practice and guidance. However, students tend to get into trouble if they leave their test preparation to the last minute. Start early and keep practicing. Dont wait too late to book your Orange County AP tutor!

Hockey Shooter Tutor

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