How to Understand Organic Chemistry

How to Understand Organic ChemistryThe meaning of the word organic chemistry may sound difficult to some people, but it is not. Organics are material of good quality, that is, material produced by the human body and no other organism. All animals contain organics as well. We all have them in our bodies but those that are already dead, can't be used as organic materials for the human body, but we still have them to help us live.Organic molecules are grouped into the three main groups of organic chemistry. These are the classes of acids, bases and alkalis. There are also atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Every atom has its own position and orbit that indicate the kind of chemical bond it has. So we can talk about the different types of chemical bonds, such as ionic bonds, covalent bonds, chemical bonds and superlative bonds.After learning the basics of organic chemistry, you will get an idea about the many structures that we need to understand. You will know how to figure out the c omposition of the atom and how to create a new chemical bond by using a reaction. You will also be able to identify the parts of the atoms so that you will know how to make them.Good news for those who have been struggling with the science of chemistry, is that there are a lot of excellent textbooks that can teach you the basics of chemistry. Some of them are very good and other are not so good, so you need to select the best one that will teach you everything you need to know about organic chemistry. Before choosing a chemistry textbook, you need to do some research on the internet, so that you can be sure of what type of textbook you are reading. Then you will only have to choose one textbook to read.There are many online chemists who can help you with your homework and can give you guidance about the relationship between atoms and molecules, different types of chemical bonding and their formation. Other online resources that can be helpful are online textbooks, articles and the i nternet. There are many sites on the internet that have many useful information on organic chemistry.Online courses on organic chemistry are also available, so that you can attend these online courses and study your chemistry. Many of the online courses on organic chemistry are supported by textbooks and are very easy to follow. There are a lot of courses available, so you will find something that is convenient for you.If you want to learn about organic chemistry, you have to search for these online resources so that you can get all the necessary information.

5 GMAT Mistakes You Must Avoid

5 GMAT Mistakes You Must Avoid Youve studied long and hard for the GMAT. You know the test in and out. Youve scheduled a GMAT test date. So what could possibly trip you up on test day? Once youve prepared for the exam, most GMAT mistakes come down to timing. Lets examine five blunders to look out for before you take the GMAT. 1. Arriving late to the center The first step to avoiding GMAT mistakes is simply showing up on time. You should be at your GMAT testing center at least 30 minutes ahead of time. In fact, if you arrive more than 15 minutes after your scheduled exam time, you may not be admitted to take the test. Plan your travel route and visit the center beforehand to avoid any day-of transportation issues. Introduce yourself to the receptionist or center manager and let them know you will be taking your exam there. Identify the locations of the lockers and the restrooms. Bring water and snacks for the scheduled breaks. But most importantly, rest the day before so you have the energy necessary to get through the three-and-a-half-hour test. 2. Not taking the optional breaks You may wish to try and save time by working through your breaks, but this isnt always advisable; in fact, it is a common GMAT mistake. It will not necessarily help your performance because you run this risk of burning out before you reach the end of the exam. Take this time to relax, use the restroom, drink your water, and/or eat your snacks. Use your breaks as periods of reinvigoration to help you continue to perform your best on the following sections of the GMAT. 3. Solving questions solely in your head You dont get extra points for your thoughts, so make sure you use the noteboard provided to show your work when applicable. Organize your pages so that you can read your work and strategically eliminate incorrect answers. Even the simplest formulas can become stressful to work out mentally on test day. Jotting down notes, equations, keywords, and phrases can help you concentrate on the question at hand and lead you to the best answer choice. 4. Dwelling on previous or future questions The GMAT is a computer adaptive exam; you can only answer the question in front of you, and you cant continue until you provide an answer to that question. Therefore, you should focus solely on addressing the question currently on the screen. Dont worry about what came before or what will come next. Furthermore, dont try to determine the level of the question. This wont help you solve it. Instead, try to understand what this particular question is asking, select the best answer choice, and then move on to the next question. 5. Taking too long on any one question You should try to spend no more than a couple of minutes on each question. Use your time strategically. This means knowing your strengths and weaknesses on each section and on each question type. Not completing an entire section on time (i.e. leaving questions unanswered) will result in a penalty, so answering every question is a must. However, getting through a section too quickly is not necessarily advisable either. If you are flying through a portion of the exam but not answering all of the questions correctly, then slow down. Take the time to read each question carefully. There is no bonus for finishing the exam with extra minutes left over, so use all the time that you are given to reach your target GMAT score. To avoid these common GMAT mistakes, preparation is key. Take your GMAT practice tests in an environment that closely replicates the test centers environment on exam day, in the same time periodincluding the breaks. Jot down your thoughts as you move through the test. Focus on the question at hand and keep a steady pace in each section. By practicing for the GMAT in this methodical way, you will be able to not only answer the questions on the exam, but also prevent any slip-ups that could stand in the way of performing your best on the GMAT.

What You Need to Know About SAT Subject Tests

What You Need to Know About SAT Subject Tests Youve obviously heard about the SAT, but what about the SAT Subject Tests? These exams are college admission tests on specific subjects. Students can choose the tests that best showcase their strengths and weaknesses. The SAT Subject Tests measure students knowledge at the high school level. Here are a few things you and your teen need to know about these exams: There are 20 SAT Subject Tests available in five subject areas. Those areas are Mathematics (2), Science (3), English (1), History (2) and Languages (12). Each test is one hour long, multiple choice and scored on a 200-800-point scale. Exams are offered on the same days as the regular SAT. Thats six times a year, although not all 20 tests are offered on every date. The Language and Listening tests are only offered in November. Students cannot take the SAT on the same day they take an SAT Subject Test. However, students can take up to three SAT Subject Tests on a single test date. Students can use the SAT Subject Tests to prove they are ready for certain majors or programs. Colleges and universities sometimes require or recommend one or more SAT Subject Tests when they want to get a sense of students readiness for a particular subject or program. A student interested in majoring in math, for example, might choose to take both Mathematics Subject Tests as a way of highlighting this subject strength and interest on their application. The SAT Subject Tests offer the chance to highlight several subjects not tested on the SAT. There are Math and English Subject Tests (subjects covered on the SAT), but there are also Subject Tests on science, history and 12 different languages. For students interested in pursuing majors related to these subjects, SAT Subject Tests might be a good idea, especially if students already possess a high level of knowledge in those subjects. Preparation is different than it is for the SAT. Like the SAT, the SAT Subject Tests are based on what students learn in high school. However, these tests go deeper into a subject. Thus, it can be helpful to prepare individually for these tests, even though the best method (as with all standardized exams) is to work hard in high school classes. Want to find out if a school requires, recommends or considers SAT Subject Test scores? Call their admissions office or visit their website. Very few colleges/universities in the U.S. require SAT Subject Tests (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, certain colleges/schools within Cornell University and Harvey Mudd College are among them) but some schools recommend submitting such scores (e.g. Harvard, Georgetown, Brown). The best and most current source on this, of course, is the college/university itself. Huntington helps students perform their best on the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests. We know how to help students prepare effectively for these exams. Questions? Call us to learn more about our test prep programs. 1-800 CAN LEARN.

English Conditionals Second Conditional with Beyoncé

English Conditionals Second Conditional with Beyoncé When learning English you need to eventually practice the conditionals. In English there are three conditionals. We call these the Frist Conditional (for general truths and real situations in present and future), the Second Conditional (For unreal or imaginary situations in present or future) and the Third Conditional (for unreal or imaginary situations in past, these are usually the opposite of the truth).Today this English lesson is about the second conditional for unreal or imaginary situations. There are two clauses (parts) to a conditional phrase.If ClauseThis is the IF clause or part of the sentence. We form this clause with IF + subject (I, you, we) + past simple/past continuous. If I won the lottery. (remember the verb is in the past but doesnt signify the past, we put the verb in past to indicate the tone of an imaginary situation.)Would Clause-This is the would clause or part of the sentence. We form this clause with Subject + would + verb present simple (infinitive). I wou ld buy a new car.Examples: If I won the lottery I would buy a new car.If I had a dog I would take it for a walk every day.If I were you I wouldnt wake Paul up, he is really grumpy in the mornings.If I smelled fire I would leave the building.These are all imaginary situations that are in the present or future. Notice in number three we use were, instead of was; this indicates advice being given.Now watch the video! Listen for the second conditionals. How many can you write down? If I were a boy Id _______out of bed in the morning and go.If I were a boy _______ drink beer with the boys.If I were a boy Id ______I could understand. (Note: could is the participle hear.)If I were a boy, I swear to you, I would ______ a better man.______ listen to her.If I were a boy Id ______off my phone.____put myself first.They say five words at the beginning of the video. Are these English Nouns, Adjectives, Adverbs, or Verbs? What are their suffixes?Writing Exercise:There are many movies about switchi ng places and being able to experience being the opposite gender for a day or two. What would you do if you were the opposite sex?Got questions? Email us or ask them in comments below. Sign up for our English classes.

BPU Holdings Make Big Changes With ZimGo

BPU Holdings Make Big Changes With ZimGo pexels.com ZimGo has looked into one of the more prominent beneficiaries, such as Politics/Government. The company looked into the social media sentiment for the current election and saw that candidates were neck in neck when it came to positive or negative feelings towards them by the people. In lieu of the recent debates the level of sentiment has become minuscule, showcasing the fact that follower commitment is quite low. Crag Burton, technologist, advisor and BPU technical strategy leader stated that “This kind of social analytics empowers people to make more informed decisions as they seek to deal with the flood of social interactivity and manage their tribe while protecting privacy.” While other competitors are trying to become much better and seek to be more advanced than ZimGo, it has shown that it cannot be matched. BPU Holdings has shown that ZimGo is a complete Sentiment Analysis application and they have more recently added support for emoticons, while also having typical slang being analyzed; other companies are simply using an updated standard dictionary. ZimGo also provides Entity Recognition for certain people and organizations. English and Japanese versions of ZimGo will be available soon in limited beta release. Those of you that are interested in the beta release can enroll here.

Teacher talks Kathleens online teaching story

Teacher talks Kathleen’s online teaching story Meet the awesome Kathleen Primeau, a painting enthusiast, novice ukulele player and avid traveler. Kathleen has a multitude of teaching (and life) experience. She holds a Bachelor ofEducation from Nipissing University and over the past five years has taught in the UK as well as one of the most remote parts of Canada - the Northwest Territories. A quick snap in front of some iconic London telephone boxes, taken during Kathleen’s time teaching in the UK. This summer, Kathleen decided to make a return to her home province of Ontario. While she’s on the lookout for a permanent teaching position, Kathleen’s been supply teaching on the side and teaching ESL students, based in China, online. At Teach Away, we’ve been seeing an explosion in the popularity of online English teaching jobs as more and more students - especially in China - gravitate towards learning English online. While we’ve already talked about what you need to get ready to teach online as well as the many benefits of teaching English online in some of our earlier blogs, we were super excited to sit down with Kathleen to find out all about her experience teaching English online with VIPKID over the past year! What first attracted you to teaching English online? There are two things that initially attracted me to teaching English online. The first was that I could work from home, which would eliminate the cost and stress of a commute. The second was that I really wanted to be able to set my own schedule, seeing as I was supply teaching and looking for a full-time teaching job all at the same time. Overall, it looked like a great way for me to supplement my income while I was finding my feet after moving back home. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. How did you hear about the opportunity to teach English online with VIPKID? I actually saw an ad for VIPKID on Facebook one day. It popped up and my first reaction was “is teaching online really a thing I can do?!” This led me to a Google search, where I discovered some really informative Youtube videos from other teachers working with VIPKID. Those videos gave me the push I needed to apply! What was the application and hiring process with VIPKID like? For me, the application and hiring process was fairly quick. The process consisted of two interviews. All of the interviews are conducted online, through their online portal which is very similar to using FaceTime or Skype. In each interview, I had to perform a teaching task, using the materials VIPKID provided. In my first interview, I taught a mini-lesson to my interviewer, who pretended to be a five-year-old English language learner. The lesson lasted around ten minutes total, so not too tricky. In my second interview, I was asked to teach a full, 25-minute class. This second interview was conducted by a VIPKID teacher mentor - someone with extensive experience teaching online who now mentors new VIPKID teachers. Overall, I think the way the interviews are conducted really does help you figure out if teaching online is something you will enjoy or not. I found it very helpful and I really connected with the VIPKID team. What I really enjoyed was that they give you lots of information, tips and support throughout the entire hiring process. How does the schedule teaching online with VIPKID work? Once you’re hired and you’ve set up your online profile, you’ll be able to access the online scheduler. It’s really simple and intuitive to use. VIPKID also makes it super easy to understand time differences to narrow down the best times to make your teaching schedule open. One thing to keep in mind is that it can take up to a month before you get your first class scheduled. In my case, it took around three weeks before I got my first student, but from that point on, it really picked up and I was getting at least eight (or more) classes booked on a weekly basis. What did you need to get all set up with a virtual classroom of your own? In order to teach with VIPKID you need a computer or laptop, headset and access to a good internet connection. These are the bare necessities you need to start teaching online. VIPKID will also give you a bunch of great tips and advice on how to be an effective online teacher. They offer lots of suggestions on everything from your clothing and teaching props to your lighting and workspace setup. Kathleen’s online teaching backdrop! Although their suggestions aren’t mandatory by any means, they certainly do help you become a more successful teacher - which is a must when you’re looking to build up a substantial student base at the beginning! How often do you work and what’s the pay like with VIPKID? When I first got started teaching English online with VIPKID, I opened up most of my morning schedule (between 5:30 - 10:00 am). At the beginning, I was only getting one to two classes a week. Happily, the number of classes started to pick up fairly quickly around the one month mark. VIPKID’s online scheduler uses a color code system to indicate peak demand times for online teachers, so you can easily open up your timetable during those times if you really want to maximize your earnings. In terms of pay, this is usually established in your first interview. In general, (based on your job performance and past experience) you can expect a base rate of around $14 - 22 USD for one hour of teaching. Most teachers are at the higher end of this range since the pay includes items such as showing up to classes on time. Additionally, VIPKID is constantly offering incentives and bonuses, so a teacher’s actual earning potential is much higher! Any favorite online teaching props, tools or resources you’d like to recommend to aspiring online teachers? Absolutely! I keep a teddy bear and some cheap (and goofy) dollar store props close at hand! These are really great to use at the beginning of lessons to grab your student’s attention and to help any shy students warm up to you a little more. Kathleen’s trusty teddy bear prop. The aforementioned goofy teaching props :) Do you have to do much lesson prep with VIPKID? Lesson prep is super simple and it’s another thing I love about teaching online with VIPKID. They use a specific curriculum they have developed and you teach by following along with a PowerPoint lesson while video chatting with your student. All you have to do is review the lesson beforehand. I typically make a few notes and sometimes I’ll write things out on a whiteboard or piece of paper beforehand. I also try to find real objects to use in my class, instead of pictures. These are easy things that only take a couple of minutes, especially once you become familiar with the lesson styles and formats. What’s your favorite thing about teaching online? For me, the very best thing about teaching online is the students - and getting to work from home! While working one on one with a student and seeing them improve their English skills is really rewarding, being able to do it while still in my pajama pants (which they can’t see, of course!) makes it all the better! What are the top 3 things about working with VIPKID? 1. Being able to work from home. Or wherever I might be on a given day! 2. The flexible schedule. I could get my teaching out of the way before noon and free up the rest of the day to do whatever I wanted. Pretty awesome, right? 3. The students. Not only are they adorable, they’re also very self-motivated. How have you found the experience of teaching students online vs. a physical classroom? Teaching online one on one is definitely different to being in front of a classroom full of kids. If you have some classroom experience though, it will certainly help you in the online teaching environment! One great thing about online teaching is that you work one on one with a student and at their appropriate level (which is already determined for you by VIPKID). One slight con you might encounter is a student that has no interest in the lesson. In instances like these, it can definitely be a bit of a challenge to keep them engaged and learning. On the flipside, this is a great opportunity for you to really hone your classroom management skills. Luckily, that doesn’t happen too often anyway. Overall, I found that VIPKID students tend to be quite enthusiastic! What’s the ONE thing you wish you’d known before becoming an online teacher? Remember that you are teaching students who are across the world! You need to research their holidays and time zones as these will impact the number of bookings you can get at certain times. What advice would you give someone just starting out with teaching online? Give it a good month before you decide whether you like it or not. And don’t fret if you feel like you royally screwed up a lesson! It probably wasn’t as bad as you thought and at least you learned something from it that you can apply to do better in a future lesson. My advice is to practice, practice, practice! The best way to get better delivering your lessons is to practice saying them out loud. Teach to the mirror, teach to your old stuffed toys, teach to your pet - whatever you need to do to get more comfortable! I also recommend you record yourself teaching on your phone. Doing this will boost your confidence AND your teaching skills, which will make your online teaching experience so much smoother and more enjoyable. Finally, don’t forget to laugh! A VIPKID lesson, although it’s packed with plenty of learning, shouldn't feel like a slog for you or for your student. VIPKID wants you to project energy, excitement and happiness - which is contagious for your students. And don’t be afraid to get silly, your students will love you for it! We want to give massive props to Kathleen for sharing her perspective on teaching online with VIPKID. We hope you found it insightful - let us know your thoughts in the comments below! Pumped to apply to teach online with VIPKID? We thought so! Check out the VIPKID job posting here.
