What To Look For In Business Schools

What To Look For In Business SchoolsIf you're in the market for a new degree or are looking to go back to school for an online degree, a major reason to consider the major in business schools would be the financial aid available through the industry. Money can be provided by all of the top businesses, even ones that specialize in home school study. You can easily earn thousands of dollars a year if you look into the offer offered by Cisco, Microsoft, Apple, Motorola, Nokia, and many more.When it comes to being accepted for scholarships and grants, then going to a business school at the University of Connecticut, as they are known, will give you all the resources you could ever need. Many of these scholarships are provided by the companies or the individuals who are doing business with the company. There are some who work for the government and actually accept your scholarship as well. This is a great way to be able to get a business degree without having to put up collateral.Another option to consider is the Undergraduate School of Business (MCCOY) program offered by the University of Connecticut. These two majors have a combined program that helps you excel in both of them. The MBA program gives you the tools to be a successful and well-respected individual, while the CIS (College of Computing) program can help you get hired by companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Apple, Nokia, and others.In addition to the main offers and scholarships available through MBA programs, you can take part in mentoring programs, paid internships, and plenty of other opportunities to help you develop a real career. It's a lot easier to find out what's out there if you look into the offers you're eligible for.If you're looking for a better job after getting your MBA, then considering the degree offered by MACCOY would be a good option. They are one of the leading, best-known business schools in the country, and have several business management programs. These programs are geared towar ds the students who want to work for a multinational company that provides training to managers and executives.If you want to go back to school for your CIS degree, as this is called, then a major benefit is that CIS students are not required to pay for an exam. What this means is that you can keep your entire degree to work on in order to become more skilled in a particular field.The way these majors are structured is different between the two programs offered by MACCOY. The CIS program has the option of enrolling in one course per semester, while the MBA program can opt for 12-month courses in order to fully work on your education. If you're currently studying at a community college, then it's important to ask for the information you need in order to make sure you're taking a course at the right place.

Help Your Child Strengthen His or Her Weaker Learning Styles

Help Your Child Strengthen His or Her Weaker Learning Styles When it comes to learning, no two children process information exactly the same. Like adults, children have their own learning preferences and styles and it can take a little trial and error to determine exactly how they learn effectively and retain information.Eileen Huntington, Co-founder and CEO ofHuntington Learning Center says that while knowing a childs preferred learning style or styles is valuable information, parents should still help their children improve their lesser-refined styles too. Not every classroom or subject will fit a childs tendencies, so even though it is natural for children to gravitate toward certain subjects because the typical class activity fits their learning style best, they shouldnt just ignore subjects that are a bit more out of their comfort zone. How can you help your child strengthen any weaker learning styles? Here are a few tips: To become a stronger visual learner, have your child try the following: Use mnemonic techniques for memorizing information. Organize notes logically so that main concepts and ideas are highlighted and it is easy to skim supporting information. Try a variety of visual aids to learn new material, such as graphs and chartsand combine these tools with reading aloud. Pair any of these techniques with his or her stronger learning preferences. For example, if your child generally enjoys reading and talking aloud, he or she could do so while writing things on a whiteboard or in a notebook. To become a stronger kinesthetic learner, have your child try the following: Study in small groups to talk through ideas. Use flashcards and other active tools. Have your child share material with you or a study partner to reinforce learning. Take notes while reading, draw out concepts on a whiteboard or piece of paper, or act things out with you or someone else. Pair any of these techniques with his or her stronger learning preferences. For example, if your child generally needs a quiet place to focus, he or she can still improve those tactile learning strategies by active studying (e.g. highlighting while reading). To become a stronger auditory learner, have your child try the following: Record information (such as vocabulary words) on a tape recorder and play back while on the go or in the car. Use the Read Aloud tool in his or her word processing software to review drafts of what he or she writes. Purchase both the audio and regular version of textbooks and listen to chapters while following along in the text. Read aloud to him or herself. When learning new information, make associationswith music, for exampleto remember what he or she learns. Pair any of these techniques with his or her stronger learning preferences. For example, if your child benefits from the use of memory devices and flash cards, he or she could also have a partner read those tools aloud to strengthen the auditory learning aptitudes. Lastly, Huntington reminds parents that students who are versatile in their learning preferences will be better prepared for the real world. When children spend time developing their less comfortable learning styles, theyre essentially helping transform themselves into stronger, more agile students, she says. The world is fast-moving and children who are able to adapt as the situation requires will be well equipped for lifelong success.

?? Conquering the Gender Bias Trap

?? Conquering the Gender Bias Trap Conquering the Gender Bias Trap Written by Kerrine BryanI have worked as an electrical engineer for eleven years, and on the multiple projects that I haveworked, with teams of up to 200 engineers, you could probably count the female engineers onone hand.At the same time, the UK has been struggling to meet the demand for skilled STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Maths) professionals, and one of the causes is plain and clear. Weare missing out on nearly 50% of the population; women.Why aren’t more women opting for what I find to be an enjoyable and rewarding career?I would like to say that I always wanted to be an engineer, but the reality is that as a child Ididn’t know what engineering was. I had an idea in my head of what it involved and it just didn’tseem like something I would want to do. I thought of it as a job only for men, working in agarage wearing overalls and a hard-hat â€" no thank you.Luckily for me at 17, my maths teacher suggested I take part in a university taster course to learnabout t he different types of engineering after which I pursued an engineering career ending up ina job that I thoroughly enjoy and is the complete opposite of what I initially thought. It’s not ajob only for men, I work in an office and I like to wear a dress (and sometimes heels). It’s acreative and challenging job that I thoroughly enjoy and find rewarding.STEM professions are struggling with image perceptions. Ask someone to draw a scientist andthey will most likely draw a white man with long frizzy white hair, spectacles and a white labcoat.If young boys believe that engineering is a job for men, who work in a garage wearing overallsand a hard-hat, then they might not think that it’s a job for them, but at least they would think itwas an option. Many young girls may not even think that it’s an option if that is the case.As a young girl I had never met an engineer, so these ideas of what an engineer was, had formedin my mind from my social environment, including media and the ma in influencers in my life(e.g. parents and teachers). This social influence formed my unconsciousbias and is one of thereasons why not many women are opting for STEM careers.What is the gender bias trap?I spent a full day at a primary school doing workshops and talking about different professionsthat both men and women can do, including my own profession, electrical engineering. At theend of the day I opened the floor for questions when a young boy asked me “What made youthink that you could do a man’s job?”He had spent the day learning all about the things that both boys and girls can do, but he hadalready fallen into the gender bias trap. His unconscious bias about what men and women can dohad already formed; probably from influences outside of the school environment. It was going totake more than a full day workshop to help him out of the gender bias trap.How do we conquer the gender bias trap?Some steps are gradually being made in the formal learning environment to reduce gender bias,however the only way to stop children falling into the trap is to ensure that these steps are beingreinforced in the home environment as well.Parents and tutors are key influencers. They may have already formed their own unconsciousbiases, which are tricky to tackle, but they can address their conscious bias when communicatingwith children.Here are my top 4 ways to beat the gender bias trap:1. Buy the right booksExpose children to diverse literature showing female engineers, male nurses or female pilots, forexample. If you notice gender bias in books be sure to address it or adapt the story as necessary.2. Choose teaching resources wiselyTutors can also try to pick books and teaching resources with minimum gender bias. If it’s hardto find such literature or examples, then adapt them by changing names or create your own.Instead of Tom having 4 toy cars and giving 2 to Peter, maybe he can give 2 to Sarah.3. Watch your languageTry to use gender neutral language when speak ing with children in general terms, for exampleuse police officer instead of policeman or flight attendant instead of stewardess.4. Maintain balanced communicationI asked my nephew what job his dad did and he replied “He’s an engineer”, when I asked himwhat his mum did he paused then said “She’s mummy”.Both of his parents are engineers. UntilI asked him this question his parents hadn’t realised how their communication with him hadalready formed a bias. A simple exercise, such as both parents talking to a child about what theydo inside and outside of the home can even make a difference.-You may be asking yourself, isthis all a bit too much? I don't think so.All children should be aware of all of the opportunities and options that areavailable to them when they are older. By avoiding the trap, the world is their oyster.About the author Kerrine is an award winning chartered electrical engineer, who was most recently listed as one ofthe Telegraph’s Top 50 Women in Engineering 2017.She is the founder and author of Butterfly Books, publishing career themed children’spicture books, including ‘My Mummy is an Engineer’, ‘My Mummy is a Plumber’ and ‘MyMummy is a Scientist’.

The Vice Presidential Debate Is Tonight And Yes, You Need to Watch

The Vice Presidential Debate Is Tonight And Yes, You Need to Watch Photo Via: https://localtvwtkr.files.wordpress.com We all know way too much about both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Way more than we want to know. Way more than we probably need to know. But does anyone really know anything about their VPs? Can you even name them off the top of your head? This election year, perhaps more than ever, the VP choices actually matter, especially since the two candidates in the running for president are pretty universally disliked. So college students, this is your year to pay attention, and it starts tonight. So get your homework done, grab yourself a bottle of wine (or several, honestly) and take a seat on the couch, because tonight could just determine your future. (At least, it’ll help determine your future vote). Here is everything you need to know about tonight’s Vice Presidential Debate. 1. Where can you watch? The debate will take place tonight, October 4, at 9 p.m. EST and will air across all major television networks. It will be a 90-minute debate with zero commercial interruptions (because apparently even politicians hate commercials). The debate will be coming to you live from Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. And much like the first debate, this one will be split up into nine, 10-minute segments, during which each candidate has two minutes to respond to a question posed by the moderator and conversation (or, likely, argument) continues from there. 2. Who’s going to be there? Your moderator (the person that attempts to maintain control of the debate) is CBS’s Elaine Quijano, a correspondent for the news and the first Asian American moderator for such a debate. There will of course be the two VP candidates as well: Mike Pence and Tim Kaine (the VP to candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, respectively). Mike Pence: Team Trump and the Governor of Indiana, Pence was previously of no relation to Trump. He has also spent six terms in the House of Representatives in Congress, so he’s definitely Republican eye candy, especially considering the nature of this election. Tim Kaine: Team Hillary and a senator from Virginia, Kaine and Hillary have a friendship that predated their current partnership. Virginia happens to be a swing state, and given Kaine’s popularity, this choice was not made solely based on a friendship. 3. What are the issues? For one, the candidates themselves. Don’t be surprised when much of tonight’s debate consists of the nominees either defending their partner or attacking the other’s. Hillary and Trump and their histories are going to come up a lot, possibly even more than either of Kaine or Pence’s. The real issues? You can expect to hear about something that was not discussed during the presidential debate: abortion, gay rights and religious liberty. Both men stand on very opposite sides of this issue, so this one is going to be a big ticket conversation tonight. And don’t be surprised when the topic of religion becomes a major factor (especially since Pence previously passed anti-gay legislation in the name of religious freedom). Definitely going to be something to watch for tonight. You can also expect to hear quite a bit about immigration, the economy, ISIS and Russia, Gun Control (or a lack thereof), racism, education and potentially even the environmental issues plaguing the world. But again, you’re probably going to hear about Trump and Hillary more than anything else including the email scandal and body shaming. Also probably up for debate, taxes. 4. What’s next? This is going to be the second in a string of debates (the first presidential debate took place on September 26), and we aren’t quite at the end yet (unfortunately). While this is going to be the first and only vice presidential debate, there will be two more presidential debates, one this coming Sunday and another in about two weeks. For more detail on the upcoming debates, take a look below: Presidential Debate #2: Sunday, October 9  at 9 p.m. EST at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri this will be moderated by Anderson Cooper (anchor at CNN). Presidential Debate #3: Wednesday, October 19  at 9 p.m. EST at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada this will be moderated by Chris Wallace (anchor at FOX news) Basically, this is going to be a very boring night of argument, but at the very least, it’s going to give us a break from hearing the same arguments coming from Clinton and Trump. It’s hard to think of it that way, but tonight’s an important one, especially for millennial voters that are perhaps voting for the first time. So watch, learn about the issues, learn about the candidates and make a judgment call. Because the truth is, the VP candidates matter just as much, and so it’s important that we take their candidacy seriously. (Did you miss the debate? See what you missed here!)

Your Complete Guide to Visual Dictionaries in Foreign Languages

Your Complete Guide to Visual Dictionaries in Foreign Languages Your Complete Guide to Visual Dictionaries in Foreign LanguagesA foreign language visual dictionary will not give you a definition of “ball.” Why? Because you already know what it means! You need to know what the word is in your target language in order to look that word up. While that may sound tricky, there are some clear benefits to working with this kind of dictionary when learning a foreign language.You just need to see the picture and pair it with the translation so your brain can save it more efficiently.The visual dictionary goes an extra step to give you more context for memory-boosting power. Unlike ordinary dictionaries, a visual dictionary is usually not arranged alphabetically. They are rather grouped thematically. So, for example, a spread in a visual dictionary might deal with “Fruits” and show you memorable pictures of fruits of all kinds. For a foreign language edition, the labels would be in the target language.Consider again the language learning opportunit ies. A single picture neednt have just one label. You can find multilingual visual dictionaries with multiple words for  the same picture. For “Ball” you would see “Balle” (French), “Bola” (Spanish) and “Palla” (Italian) on the page, so you’re not just learning French, youre also  learning Spanish and Italian at the same time.Another thing that’s special with a visual dictionary is that, with one picture, it can teach you a whole lot. One picture of a person can teach you all of the parts of the face in German, for example. You look at one image and you see where the kopf,  (head) augen  (eye) and mund  (mouth) are all located.A picture of a table setting could tell you where the French assiette  (plate), fourchette  (fork) and couteau  (knife) are. A picture of a house can point you to where the Spanish cocina  (kitchen), comedor  (dining room) and  cuarto  (bedroom) are.That’s how elegant a visual dictionary is.  This tool works in perfect consonance with how the human brain works. Here’s why.The Virtues of the Visual DictionaryPictures! Period.When you hear the word apple, you don’t see the word or imagine the letters one by one. Nope, you see a glistening red fruit you can almost bite into. You imagine the taste, smell, texture and color.That’s because our minds think in pictures. In our minds, we see  cows, cars and cats, not four-letter words. We visualize and see the big picture.The images we see become so real we can almost touch them with bare hands. We even dream in pictures, and the visual cortex comprises a significant part of the human brain.This is why a dry list of vocabulary  words, translating  foreign vocabulary words right into  English words, is often hard to work with. Void of any visual stimulation, the brain finds it hard to embed anything into the long-term memory.On the other hand, visual dictionaries exploit how the mind works, serving it just what it needs: Pictures that the brain can work with. Pictures t hat the brain can file into the long-term memory. Pictures that the brain can remember.Visual dictionaries make it easier for us to memorize foreign vocabulary. They’re like flashcards, but in book form. And if I were you, I’d be hunting for foreign language visual dictionaries, like, right now.Thematic Approach to LearningOur brain links information with other information. The thing is, we don’t remember things in a vacuum or out of thin air. We remember things in relation to other things. We remember new information by connecting it to old, established information. And the more links there are for a certain piece of information, the stronger our memory is for that information.Visual dictionaries, because theyre thematically arranged, help the brain to easily make the said connections.Ordinary dictionaries, aside from being textually focused, are arranged in an alphabetical order. So theres little rhyme or reason for the arrangement except that they come in alphabetical order . So you might find words like “banish,” “banal” and “banana” on the same page. The purpose of this order is clear: theyre arranged like this so that you can find them easily. But what relations do these have with each other?Practically nada. The brain will have to get very creative to make anchor these words and make them stick in memory.With a visual dictionary, in addition to visual stimulation, the entries are thematically/topically presented so you have sets of information instead of individualized entries. For example, a page might deal with “Fruits,” another might be about “Modes of Transportation” and another may be about “Different Parts of a Classroom.”The presented images have an intuitive and natural relationship so that the brain will readily be able to make those connections.And with those two reasons, the visually stunning images and the thematic presentation, the foreign language learner is that closer to mastering the vocabulary  of his or he r target language.So, can’t wait to get your hands on those visual dictionaries? Here are some of the best resources.The Best Sources of Foreign  Language Visual Dictionaries A visual dictionary is a dictionary with a twist.The twist? Youd never guess, but it actually provides the most natural way to learn vocabulary.Think of a baby learning their native languageâ€"they point at an apple and mom or dad says, Thats an  apple!  While your usual reference tools are full of words, words and more words, a visual dictionary is full of pictures (and words). For example, looking up for the word “ball” in an ordinary dictionary, you’ll be greeted with a definition that goes something along the lines of: a spherical object often used in sports.A visual dictionary on the other hand will present you with just a pictureâ€"no phonetic symbols, no parts of speech, classifications, etc. It’s just a picture of a baseball, soccer ball  or maybe a basketball, plus the word “ball” underneath the image.Simple, huh?Now, consider the language learning possibilities.

Teamwork is the secret that make common people achieve uncommon result

Teamwork is the secret that make common people achieve uncommon result Teamwork is the secret that make common people achieve uncommon result. Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha The concept of teamwork is extremely important to the success of any team. The benefits of teamwork include increased efficiency, the ability to focus different minds on the same problem and mutual support. When a team works well together as a unit they are able to accomplish more than its individual members can do alone. When members apply different skills they are often able to come up with a more effective solution than one person working on the same  problem. In our company TutorZ teamwork is also very important.

Chemistry Test Results - Did You Beat Out Your High School Entrance Grades?

Chemistry Test Results - Did You Beat Out Your High School Entrance Grades?I was getting pretty tired of being tested out by the stupid questions that my chemistry test was giving me. Every single question is totally unfair, and each one of them makes me feel like I'm going to fail. This is no way to a good score on a test that has so much weight to it.My friends were always telling me that I'd have a hard time with it and that I'd probably fail. But here I am now, and I've failed every single one of them and have to say I was very surprised to see how high my score was.This is a brand new subject, a whole new field of science, and I've spent thousands of dollars studying this new information. The only question now is whether or not I'm going to take the placement test next year and pass or fail.Now, since I have an entire new set of chemistry questions I can't remember, I decided to try and do what I did the last time, which was to get some help. This time though, I know I want to d o well, and that is why I'll be doing a review of my notes for this test to make sure I'm doing the right thing.I'm going to make sure I follow the right things in order to do well on this test, and I'm going to work my best. After all, the more confident I am the easier it is to score high.Taking the test again this year isn't the problem. There are hundreds of ways to beat the test, but you have to take the time to learn how to ace it this time. It's the same when taking the SATs, but when I go into this test it's different because I know this information.So if you're up for a challenge, then take your knowledge to the next level. If you're just worried about high school entrance, then learn to ace the test, but if you're going to score high on a higher level of test, then it's going to take some time and hard work to do it.
