Organic Chemistry Homework Tips - How to Do Better Than Youve Ever Thought Possible

Organic Chemistry Homework Tips - How to Do Better Than You've Ever Thought PossibleMany have searched for answers on the many organic chemistry tutorials online, but only a few have managed to master the subject and then find that a lot of their mathematical skills were rusty. It's possible to do well on an organic chemistry homework assignment if you know what to do in the first place. Below are some tips to help you out.Use algebraic step-by-step notation to build formulas. Any parent will tell you that their kid is always asking for help and yet when it comes to mathematics they either have no idea how to spell something or just don't know how to do it. That's not a good enough excuse. All math is logically formulated and you need to do the same.Take multiple choice questions from alphabets, binary representations, and logarithms. Anybody who knows how to do simple calculations can calculate anything you can, if you understand what to do. Even algebraic formulas can be constructe d in multiple choice form.There are no formulas out there as good as algebraic step-by-step formulae and so it is a sure thing that your algebra problems will solve themselves. Sometimes the subject itself is intimidating and it is difficult to learn. But once you get into the swing of things your intuition will take over and your grades will skyrocket.Make it a habit to look at any chemical equation and check for accuracy. If the formula you are looking at does not make sense you will not like it. You need to feel comfortable with it before you start solving problems. The last thing you want is a solution that makes no sense and have to redo it the next time.Research all of the resources available on your chemical equation. Always study as much information as you can and check it out and try to make it better. It is possible to understand the end result of the equation but it is not going to happen unless you understand what you are trying to accomplish. The key is making sure that you understand it.Once you have mastered this organic chemistry tutorial and acquired the ability to read formulas, you should find that you enjoy solving problems more than in years past. It is because you have gained self-confidence and can finally see the accuracy of your solutions.

Using Your Universitys Career Center In Your Internship Search

Using Your University's Career Center In Your Internship Search Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/road-sign-town-sign-success-career-798176/ Most university career centers offer the same services: (1) writing a cover letter, (2) writing/editing your resume, (3) asking for letters of recommendation, (4) interview practice, (5) putting together a portfolio, (6) how to start your job/internship search, and much more. In order for these services to be useful to you (in my opinion), you need to make a few appointments with a couple of different career counselors and student volunteers to make sure you find someone who you connect with. Yes, it’s helpful to just make an appointment in general, but if you continue going to the same person he/she will already know what you are looking for in an internship and there will be no need for introductions that ultimately just take up valuable time that could be spent on finding an internship. Go through all of the steps with your career counselor… by this, I mean use all of the services offered to you. In order for your trips to the career center to be effective, you need to come prepared as well. Your counselor cannot and will not do all of the work for you… this is your internship and your future, you need to remain accountable. If you want to work on your resume and/or cover letter, make sure you have a rough draft. If you are ready to hit “Apply” to an internship, make sure you have your computer charged and ready for your career counselor to check over it. If you are prepping for an interview, come in your potential interview outfit and a list of questions that you researched that are asked by the particular company. Your appointments with the career center will only work if you put in the time and effort. Think of it this way, your career counselor has no stake in whether or not you land an internship, only you do. Therefore, you will need to go the extra mile. I know that may sound harsh, but tough love is the best kind of love when it comes to internship search time. Starting early in the year to search for an internship is step #1 in preparedness. Make appointments ahead of time and begin networking and researching before your very first appointment. Image via. https://pixabay.com/en/bulletin-board-stickies-post-it-3127287/ Last, but certainly not least, remember that the career center is there to help students, like you. If you are afraid of asking a company or friends a silly question about your internship research, then ask your career counselor the question. He/she is there to help and he/she has definitely heard a lot worse. You want to go into this process confident and excited, and that can only happen if all of your questions are answered. If you don’t know what to ask, here are some great questions to ask your career center: Is this a nice format/template for my resume and cover letter? Is it professional? Is this a good outfit for an interview at a company that dresses business-formal? What are some good places to find internship listings? How can I differentiate a real internship from a scam on the internet? How can I personalize a different cover letter for each of the places I apply to? What information should I definitely include? How far back can I go when noting my experiences on my resume? Is it okay if I have an experience from high school on there? What are some major questions that are asked in most interviews? Are websites, like Glass Door, useful? What are the pros and cons of an unpaid internship? Ask your questions, go prepared, and start the process early. Keep organized and stay on top of your internship search. I have no doubt that all of you will land the internship of your dreams. One last piece of advice from me… keep an open mind and apply to a bunch of different types of internships! Good luck!

The Origin of Language Development A Brief Overview of Language Development Theories

The Origin of Language Development A Brief Overview of Language Development Theories A Brief Overview of Language Development Theories Youre remarkable.Without prompting, you spent your first years making sense of the sounds around you.You turned gibberish into meaning.If you really stop to ponder it, its actually quite amazing.Think about it, how is it youre speaking the language or languages you do?Its a worthwhile question and one the linguistic and psychological communities have been exploring for decades.Theres good reason to look into that if youre currently trying to master a second,  third or even fourth language (if youre feeling really ambitious).Language development is a seriously complex topic, and its not easy finding a place to start studying it. But thats why were hereâ€"to get you started on the basics.This post will start you on the road to uncovering the important figures, theories and facts youll most likely hear over and over again in your language learning journey.Deep breaths everyone, as we delve into the fascinatingly complicated world of language development. Why Study Language Development Theories?Our ability to acquire and continue to learn a language is something we often take for granted. Most of us dont give much thought to the physical and mental processes our brains undergo to pick up and utilize language.Have you thought much about how were able to use simple symbols and sounds to communicate complex ideas? Have you really considered how and why this all came about? Of course you have! Youre a dedicated language learner.You might find that studying the theories surrounding this topic might help with your own learning experience. Its difficult for some to find a learning method that works for them, especially when it comes to language. Nowadays were surrounded by an abundance of learning resources playing on different language theories and known learning styles.Thats why its important to look at the process of learning itself, so you can more easily find and/or develop a method that works for you.A Brief Overview of Language Development TheoriesThe most promin ent figure in language development is Noam Chomsky, whos been studying this ever since his days at MIT. Then there are those who have offered their take on language development from a psychological perspective. This includes psychologists such as B.F Skinner, Jean Piaget and Vygotsky.Well be giving you a brief overview of their theories and perspectives. Fair warning to all: Theres a lot of psychology here, so be prepared for a bunch of fancy new terms (well explain them briefly as we go, of course).Chomskys TheoriesNoam Chomsky has been studying and developing his theories since the 1950s. In his book  Aspects of the Theory of Syntax published in 1965, he has pushed forward the fundamental observation that there are deep structures and surface structures in every sentence, no matter what language. This is the reason why you can form sentences with similar meaning using a theoretically infinite combination of words.Essentially, deep structures are the thoughts and meanings we want t o express and surface structures are the words, sounds and symbols we use to try and express them.Lets look at some examples. Take a look at the following sentence:Language development seems really complicated to me. I think language development is really complicated.Both express exactly the same thing using different words and a different word order. The deep structure is the same (the notion that language development is obviously not the simplest thing in the world), though the words used (surface structure) are different.The use of these words and their structures are refined over the course of time. It changes and evolves on the surface, but the deeper structures remain. This is a part of Chomskys transformational-generative grammar theory.Another important contribution Chomsky made to linguistic studies is the theory of universal grammar. He asserted that the human brain contains a mechanism for language acquisition, meaning that our languages share the same deeper structures d espite the largely superficial surface structures.This is why its possible for anyone to learn a foreign language, regardless of the complexity of its grammatical structure or script.B.F Skinners Behaviorist PerspectiveTackling the issue of language from a different perspective was B.F Skinner, the behavioral psychologist. Simply put, the behavioral perspective postulates that everything we do is dictated by our environment and that our behavior is a response to external stimuli through operant conditioning, the process through which behavior changes with positive and negative reinforcement.B.F Skinner theorized that language acquisition  is dictated by our environment and the positive or negative reinforcement we receive from it. Parents, for example, enforce correct usage of a word in children with positive facial or verbal reactions. They play larger roles in our verbal behavior,  a concept Skinner describes in his book. Verbal behavior introduces the concept of functions to word s, as well as meanings.For example, a child may know what to call a toilet, but they must also learn what the use of that word will allow them to acquire or express. Theyve heard their parents say this word, but what happens when they say it? Most likely, their parents take them to it.So in this case, the most basic function of the word is to express a need to use the bathroom. A pretty important thing to be able to express, wouldnt you say?Piagets Cognitive Development TheoryJean Piaget was another prominent psychologist who offered yet another take on language acquisition and development. His focus was on child development and the stages children go through to develop and learn.He asserted that children would only be able to fully grasp some concepts within specific  developmental stages, due to the fact that certain sections of the brain would only further develop at certain ages.For example, since the sensorimotor area develops first during the first two years of a childs life, children focus on their immediate surroundings, experimenting with the things around them by playing with them, biting them or throwing them.Throughout this stage, theyll take things apart, put things back together and explore the concept of things existing in and out of sight. By the end of it all, theyll be able to visualize things that arent there in front of them, which is arguably the most crucial part of this stage when it comes to language and communication.Next comes the preoperational stage in which children are able to develop their imagination and think in slightly more abstract ways. They begin to toy with symbols. Theyll use words in ways that arent generally accepted or understood. For example, they may use the word pillow to mean cloth purely because of the few shared characteristics between the two objects.They do this for egocentric communication. Anyone whos ever tried to communicate with a two-year-old will know that they arent all that interested in other perspec tives. Theyre too busy trying to explore their own mind, so dont take it personally.You may have noticed already that these concepts focus less on language and more on cognitive development during childhood and youd be right. That being said, its still important to know because Piaget did establish that language plays a huge role in cognitive development, chiefly in the way children use language throughout each stage.During the sensorimotor stage, children experiment with sounds, and language is mostly about the auditory aspects. They dont care about the meaning, they just like to create sounds. During the pre-operational stage, children use language to express themselves, but they cant really distinguish conversation from pure expression.During the concrete operational stage, children state facts and observations. Finally, during the formal operational stage, children are able to use language to express, discuss and debate abstract concepts.Vygotskys Constructivist Learning TheoryN ot completely unrelated was Vygotskys theory of social development. Its referred to as the constructivist perspective  and describes the concept of development through construction of thought and meaning.  To understand it completely, you first have to understand his perspective.It challenges the more widely-held concept of knowledge and proposes that knowledge is a construction of meaning unique to the individual. How a person grew up (their culture) will affect how they think.  He emphasizes the importance of others in our development (i.e., social interaction and guided learning).Vygotsky postulated that language develops similarly, but focused on the development of social speech, private speech and inner speech.Social speech is the language we use with others while private speech (talking to ourselves) is not meant to communicate with others (this happens around the age of three). Inner speech only really begins to appear around the age of six or seven with private speech being internalized.Its a complex idea that goes beyond the scope of this post, but children at this stage begin to internalize language and meaning and, as Vygotsky says, begin thinking in pure meaning.Suffice it to say that our relationship with language becomes increasingly more sophisticated and goes beyond the meaning of the words and into the feelings or ideas the words elicit.What These Language Development Theories Mean for YouTo be honest, weve only scratched the surface of these theories. Considering the impact theyve made on education, parenting and the academic world at large, we invite you to dive deeper by reading the many papers on each one.But what can you do with this newfound knowledge right now?In the same way that these theories have aided children and teachers in refining their learning and teaching techniques, you can use this knowledge to fine-tune your language-learning methods.With a better understanding of these theories and their roots, you can understand the met hod behind the madness of some learning programs. Is the approach youre using right now working for you?If we consider Chomskys ideas of universal grammar, we can say that all languages adhere to certain grammatical parameters (like word order). Our job is then to figure out those parameters by hearing example sentences and formulating the rules of the second language. With this approach, your study session would include analyses such as,In English, word order is subject + verb + object, but in (target language) itsOr should you try tackling grammar from another angle? For example, you might do that by spending time in a different environment where that foreign language is abundant as the constructivist perspective might suggest?Of course, if you cant go to another country, try immersing yourself in the language at home with a program like FluentU. FluentU is an online immersion platform that takes real-world videosâ€"like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.What about those of you who are trying to find ways to teach your children a second language? Perhaps taking a look at Piagets developmental stages could help you figure out where your childs mind is focused and how best to introduce a new language to them.With so many theories out there concerning language development, see what works for you and which theories or perspectives youd like to explore.Itll make you a better language learner and, perhaps later on if you so choose, a better language teacher.
