Systematic Errors in Chemistry - What Are They?

Systematic Errors in Chemistry - What Are They?Systematic errors in chemistry are the one of the main reasons why most people fail their chemistry tests. They are often due to lack of time, or weak concentration, but some people just lack the discipline to pay attention while taking the test. This is a big problem because it affects the quality of their work and they cannot be promoted unless they pass.There are several different systematic errors in chemistry that will affect every part of the exam. You should avoid these when you are preparing for the exam. These errors can even result in a failure on your part. If you learn to recognize them, you can avoid them so that you have a better chance of passing.One systematic error is getting the experiment wrong. You should write down all of the possible results and then check to see if they match. If you get an experiment wrong, then you should write down the results again. If you do this properly, you can determine the problem and pre vent it from occurring again. In the end you will probably get a passing grade.Another systematic error is not following through with your instructions. You will need to write down all of the instructions in your notebook. Make sure that you go over everything that you did before testing with a pencil. You should also make sure that you do what you are supposed to do on the first try.A third systematic error that many people make is failing to properly analyze the material that they are studying. To make sure that you do this correctly, you should not skip reading the instruction book, as long as you do it properly. If you get confused while reading the materials then you will probably be able to figure out what is wrong when you are done reading.Lastly, another systematic error that you need to avoid is asking questions after the test is over. You should only ask your questions after you have received your answer sheets. If you get to ask questions in the middle of the test then yo u should prepare for them beforehand. After all, a passing grade means that you will be promoted to a new position.When you learn how to recognize the systemic errors in chemistry, you will be able to improve your score and pass the exam more easily. This will make the difference between getting a passing grade and a failing grade. You will also improve your confidence in your own abilities and you will become a better scientist.

Twice Exceptional Kids with ADHD

Twice Exceptional Kids with ADHD Twice exceptional (2e) kids have a learning difficulties or attention problems but are also highly gifted in at least one area. The term twice exceptional is most often used to describe kids with exceptional academic abilities, but many 2e kids also have musical or artistic gifts. While all kids have strengths and weaknesses, twice exceptional kids have these in the extreme. For example, a 2e child may score in the 99th percentile on a test of verbal language abilities but only in the 10th percentile on a measure of processing speed. Or they may have highly advanced conceptual math abilities but struggle to produce written work that is legible and meets basic grade-level requirements. What happens when a 2e child has ADHD? When ADHD is part of the picture, a 2e child may be gifted in his or her ability to grasp complex concepts, engage in critical thinking, and communicate his or her knowledge and understanding verbally, but the childs test scores reflect only average (or even below-average) performance. Without a clear understanding of the impact of ADHD symptoms on factors like motivation, attention to detail, persistence, and organization, parents and teachers become frustrated by what they perceive as willful underperformance. They complain that the child is being lazy or simply doesnt care about the quality of his or her work. In reality, the 2e child may be working very hard to compensate for his or her weaknesses, but without proper support the efforts rarely translate into lasting improvements. Unfortunately, the messages that these kids hear about laziness and carelessness take a toll over time and their self-esteem suffers. To make matters worse, their sub-par academic performance prevents th em from getting one of the things 2e children need the most at school: recognition of their strengths and access to classes and activities that challenge and engage their exceptional intellect. All 2e kids are at risk for being excluded from the advanced classes that they need to reach their full potential. 2e kids with ADHD are also at risk for having their ADHD go undetected and undiagnosed. Why? With their high intelligence, 2e kids can often perform in the average range academically despite their ADHD symptoms. While they are underperforming relative to their true abilities, they are not necessarily underperforming relative to their classmates. As a result, the school doesnt identify them as needing an evaluation or extra support. Parents may be frustrated that their child isnt achieving at the level they believe he or she is capable of, but they also arent seeing some of the typical red flags that would normally trigger an ADHD assessment. What can parents do to help? Obtain an evaluation. Twice exceptional kids are complex, and a full psychoeducational assessment or neuropsychological assessment (which includes cognitive and achievement testing) can help parents, teachers, and the child develop a clear picture of their strengths and weaknesses. In some cases, schools will provide a psychoeducational assessment as part of their special education services. In other cases, parents need to seek out these evaluations privately through a psychologist, neuropsychologist, or learning specialist. Seek out special education services and academic support. Many 2e children qualify for special education services services that address their weaknesses and their gifts. An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) will outline the educational goals, accommodations, and services that your child needs. His or her access to these services and progress toward individual goals will be tracked and reviewed regularly in team meetings that parents (and often the child) attend. If your child has areas of academic weakness, consider supplementing his or her school-based services with individualized academic support from a private learning center or learning specialist. Advocate for your child. 2e kids need access to advanced classes just as much as any other gifted child. With the proper support and accommodations, 2e children can thrive in an accelerated academic environment. Without a high level of intellectual stimulation, 2e kids with ADHD are at high risk of becoming bored at school, which will exacerbate their ADHD symptoms and ultimately lead to even greater academic underachievement (see my previous post on this topic [link to Understanding Boredom and ADHD]). Provide emotional support. Talk to your child about his or her strengths and weakness, and his or her unique gifts. Help your child process feelings about being different from other kids, and frustration over his or her ADHD symptoms getting in the way. Many 2e kids will feel like there is something wrong with them, and unconditional love and support from parents can go a long way in counteracting these feelings. Getting to know other 2e kids can also help. If you dont know of other families of 2e kids in your area, check out one of the many Facebook groups for parents to 2e kids to get connected. Treat the ADHD symptoms. 2e kids can reach their full potential when their ADHD symptoms are well managed. Work with mental health providers to obtain evidence-based treatments for your child and consider including medication in your childs symptom management plan. ABOUT DR.

What Interning In A Big City Will Do For You

What Interning In A Big City Will Do For You Image via www1.dromihh.top When you first move into the city, the most important places you should map out ought to be where you work and the nearest grocery store. It would not hurt to memorize your address either. Nothing is worse than showing up to work late on your first day. If you take the time out of your day to become familiar with your new home, it will show your boss that you are always prepared and eager to learn new things. Small Talk A bigger environment means many, many more new faces. If you are shy and tongue-tied, then you might as well pack your bags and head home. Cities are loud and filled with rude, fast-paced people who do not have time for stuttering and awkward silence. According to forbes.com: “A recent study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that friendly, social interaction can boost our ability to solve problems as, say, working a crossword puzzle might. That’s because, as Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the university explained: ‘Some social interactions induce people to try to read others’ minds and take their perspective on things.’” In each and every field of work, communication is a major part. The more people you interact with, the easier it becomes to deal with different types of characters. With communication comes networking the most powerful marketing tactic in business. Personal relationships allow prospective workers to rise above others competing for the job. If you can build trust through just a short couple of conversations, you are in. Appreciation Perhaps the place you move to ends up being a flop. You were always late catching a train, everyone was rude, and the stores were too crowded. After interning in a big city, you will most likely have the chance to return home or stay there. Whether you are looking for a permanent job, or just interning for the summer, the city may not be for you. A taste of hectic city life will make you appreciate home and its calm atmosphere. On the other hand, you will appreciate the city over your hometown. Either way, you will experience a different style of living, further educating yourself. With more education of different settings, it will be easier for you to choose a permanent place to live when you settle down. pexels.com Looking for a top internship in an exciting city?

No hair grows on Dad’s head. Is this rickets? For me carrot puree, and for herself chocolate. Where is the justice? Wheres the nose? Wheres the eyes? As if they   themselves do not know that?? My mother has a very inflated stomach. Is it critical? A cry from the heart: Cat is given more tasty food! And all attempts to establish the justice are severely suppressed, why?! The survey for infants: What would you like your mother to eat at New Years Eve Im tired of my mom’s breast, I want to try out Daddys. Has anyone tried? How to get rid of hair on my fathers chest? Tearing out makes him cry. Advise painless way! I had enough food already!!!!! How to explain this to the parents? “Need your financial support: we do not have salt and sugar.

Whole truth about this horror.

American International School of Monrovia

American International School of Monrovia American International School of Monrovia The American International School of Monrovia Liberia Over 40 years ago -- with the arrival of a large expatriate community involved in everything from missionary work to mineral excavation -- a need arose to provide an education for expatriate children. Thus, American Cooperative School came into being. Starting out with just a handful of students, ACS evolved into a school of over 600 students and was known as one of the top American-International schools in Africa. Shareholders of the school were, and continue to be; multi-national companies, members of the diplomatic community, and qualified local Liberians in search of a quality U.S. Education. A change in the economic and political climate during the late 1980s and 1990s discouraged many of the multi-national companies and diplomatic community from remaining in Liberia. When they left the country, the school population declined, and with the onset of Liberian Civil War, the school closed in 1988. On October 8, 2007, after five years of peace in Liberia, the school reopened under a new name: The American International School of Monrovia. For the 2014-2015 school year, AISM anticipated over 150 students. However, the Ebola Crisis of 2014 led to a virtual shut down of essential services in the city of Monrovia, which led most international missions and embassies to issue an ordered departure. As a result, the Board of Trustees took the difficult, but prudent, decision to close AISMs doors (under Government Decree that all schools in Liberia be closed until further notice) to ensure the safety of its teachers and pupils. It was with great excitement that the Government of Liberia allowed all schools to open once again in early February of 2015, for AISMs eight continual year of operation, signaling the containment of the Ebola virus, and the resumption of normal life, in the country of Liberia. The crisis, however, did take a toll as the American International School of Monrovia looks to open its doors for the 2015 School Year with between 70-80 students in our Early Childhood Education program (ECE) through Upper School. Recently, as the economic, political and health situation in Liberia have turned the corner and business conditions have improved, there has been a direct increase in enrollment due to the fact that companies and the diplomatic community brought in more expatriate workers and their families. The American International School of Monrovia is a modern air-conditioned facility that, in the future, could once again enroll well over 600 students. Presently, there is ample classroom space for all of our students. In addition to the main school building, our facilities include a basketball court, gymnasium and weight room, and a soccer/baseball field. The curriculum is North American, the medium of instruction is English, and the student/teacher ratio is 6.7/1. AISM is in the pre-accredited stage by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. We have completed our 5-year strategic improvement plan, which will culminate in a visit from educational experts from around the world, in April of 2016, and result in a renewed U.S. certification for the next five years. Monrovia is Liberias largest city with a population of just under a million. Although we are a capital city, Monrovia has a rustic urban feel. There are modest swim and tennis clubs; there are several nice restaurants, adequate shopping close at hand, two fitness gyms, and high-quality housing with central air conditioning. On long weekends and vacations there is a diversity of environments to explore. Picturesque African beaches, the highlands of the dense jungle interior, and rain forests are all within driving distance.

4 Ways to Beat the IELTS Exam - TutorNerds

4 Ways to Beat the IELTS Exam - TutorNerds Orange County Test Prep: 4 Ways to Beat the IELTS Exam Although the majority of students who wish to study in the US will take the TOEFL exam, some US colleges and universities will accept the IELTS exam, (most often used in Great Britain). Students studying for the IELTS can follow the same general study habits as students studying for the TOEFL. The majority of students, even those who are fluent or near fluent, will need to focus on a number of factors including speaking, listening, reading comprehension, and writing (READ: ESL Study Tips for Taking the SAT). 1. Speaking Speaking is one of the most difficult aspects of the IELTS exam because many students who speak English as a second language will feel a little bit nervous, especially on test day. Although many fluent and conversational speakers will have no issue speaking English to other ESL students or to native English speakers whom they know in their personal life, the fear of failing an exam often causes the mind to forget important aspects of a second language. Students are highly advised to practice speaking in a structured, test-like environment starting several months before they take the exam. Students should practice with a tutor or classmate until they become comfortable speaking English in an interview situation. When it comes to speaking any language, practice makes perfect. 2. Listening Listening is also a challenge when it comes to taking the IELTS exam because people who are listening in their second language will need additional time to comprehend what is being said due to the fact that their brain is translating their second language into their first language throughout the conversation. Its often harder to get practice listening if a student lives in a country where there arent a lot of native English speakers. The IELTS exam will have a person speaking in a British or American accent, depending upon the situation, and so being able to hear a native English speaker on a regular basis is important. Students who need practice are advised to listen to recordings given to them by their tutor or to utilize English language podcasts, TV, or radio broadcasts. Students can practice their listening by dictating the information given and then replay the podcast or TV show to see how close their translation was (READ: 5 Steps for Surviving Literature Class). 3. Reading comprehension Although this is certainly not an easy topic, it’s often one that IELTS students struggle with less because there is more study material available. Although tutors and classmates are helpful, students can practice reading comprehension during self study and underline or highlight unfamiliar vocabulary words and look them up in a dictionary later on. Reading comprehension students are also encouraged to utilize websites like Thesaurus.com in order to understand how different words are used and how they can substitute similar terms. They can also practice reading the great books list as well as more user-friendly publications such as American magazines or novels that are generally read for fun. Students should practice reading comprehension about 30 minutes per day in order to solidify their skills for exam day (READ: More Standardized Testing: What is the SBAC?). 4. Writing Writing is also something that IELTS students can practice by themselves. However, it’s very important that a tutor or teacher read through the various passages that the student writes in order to determine if the student is on the right track. Some of the most common issues when it comes to ESL and English language test prep are subject-verb agreement and words in context; understanding vocabulary in context can be very difficult for a non-native speaker. In short? IELTS students are encouraged to work with their Orange County test prep tutor to discuss their individual strengths and weaknesses. Studying for the IELTS can become overwhelming but it’s important that a student’s study is targeted to improve the issues they struggle with the most and also reviews the subjects they are doing well in.
