Review of Tsoh Organic Chemistry

Review of Tsoh Organic ChemistryTsoh Organic Chemistry is a book by James Wallace Crawford, which provides a sound introduction to the theories of organic chemistry, especially that of molecular structures. The book starts from simple and elegant formulations like those given in Maxwell's equations to the more complicated ideas such as the electronic, dipole and ligand properties of chemicals. It talks about the chemical bonding of molecules, the bonds between molecules, etc.The basic principles of organic chemistry are explained in a very clear manner and the topics are grouped in three main areas - thermodynamics, spectroscopy and molecular mechanics. These three topics are taught separately and are related to one another only through their relationship with chemistry. The textbook is a very good overview and introduction to organic chemistry. The topics are presented in a very general way to make the material easier to understand.The book is primarily dedicated to introducing the student to the main topics of organic chemistry. It also contains the first chapters of several other good books, but its title is chosen so that it will always be an attractive addition to the shelf.The main problem with many textbooks is that they do not focus on the fundamentals of organic chemistry enough. These topics are not given enough emphasis because they don't have enough depth. So in order to keep readers interested in this subject, the authors had to put a lot of depth into the topics.Most of the examples used in the Tsoh Organic Chemistry are drawn from cases, either theoretical or experimental, where the properties of the molecule are of great interest. Thus they will give the student a good feel for the fundamentals of organic chemistry. Thus, the student will know what is the importance of the fundamental concepts in this subject and this will help him get back to the fundamentals, which is the main objective of the book.This particular book makes use of diagrams wh ich show how each concept should be thought about, and it also shows how to bring these concepts to a better understanding and avoid misunderstandings. All the chapters of the book have been divided into sections of five, which means that the book will definitely keep one busy for the whole duration of the reading.I have found the best approach in studying any textbook for organic chemistry would be the online option. This option allows you to study any topic at any time of the day and at any place, without having to spend much time to travel and get an appointment with the teacher.

Year Round School Pros and Cons - What Would Aliens Say if They Visited Earth - Private Tutoring

Year Round School Pros and Cons - What Would Aliens Say if They Visited Earth BobbiM Aug 28, 2013 Year Round Schooling Pros and Cons The Alien Perspective The other day while driving to work, I was listening to the radio. On the radio, the commentator interviewed a professor from Duke University about the Year Round School Pros and Cons. The Duke University professor was very pro year round school and he began his argument with the following question: If aliens visited the earth, what would they say about our school buildings that are empty 3 months out of year? I laughed at the question I thought it was funny. But then, I realized how right he was. For as much as we claim education as a priority, it doesnt really show in our actions by choosing to wholesale close our schools down during the summer. So, from a public policy perspective and, more importantly, what is best for our children? Year Round School or the traditional 3 months off type of school year? Pros of Year Round School As a parent, I can think of several reasons why year round schooling might make sense. Here are a few: Consistency: As with most things, learning comes in small bite sized pieces. That usually means learning a little bit everyday for a long period of time. Having a year round school supports that idea. For parents, this is a good thing. It allows parents to plan for the year and prevents issues around finding child care during the summer, as for some households, both parents work. Mental Dullness: When taking breaks from learning for long periods of time, such as 3 months, it takes longer to get back into the groove when school does start again. Moreover, our memory is weakened and we remember less from the last 90 days. And, because of all of this, we likely learn at a rate slower than if we had continued to learn throughout the year. For the teachers, this is a good thing. It ensures more consistent pay and earnings. This creates stability and also allows the teachers to plan more effectively by having a year round schedule. Cons of Year Round Schooling The concept of year round school isnt perfect or is it a panacea for learning or education. It has some weaknesses and heres some I could come up with: Kids need breaks. And, some kids actually need 90 days of breaks. Parents plan for vacations during the year and really rely on the 3 months summer vacation. One way to get around the lull of not learning for 3 months is to hire a private tutor. Doing that however is an added cost that could be avoided if we had year round schooling. Teachers often have a second job during the summer to supplement their income. Taking that away would impact some teachers pay. Im not sure where I fall in the debate exactly. I do feel that year round schooling has significant advantages and cant help but think its better for students. I think the public policy debate often ignores the recipients of the change. In this case, its the kids. What do most kids think? Find the Best Private Tutors At Reasonable Rates - Get Real Results Fast!

English Classes for Children Raising A Bilingual Child

English Classes for Children Raising A Bilingual Child More and more people are opting to give their children a bilingual upbringing, often by supplementing their learning with English classes for children. In our series on raising children bilingually, let’s look at some of the advantages that this approach offers them.1. If you give children a multilingual environment you are increasing their opportunities and potential in terms of travel, study and work on an international level.2. Research has shown that bilingual children learn languages more easily than children who are raised in a single language environment. They learn to separate languages early and are also adept at picking up new vocabulary.3. This ability to look at language more objectively and from different perspectives allows children to develop their abstract and cognitive thinking tools. These enable them to solve problems in more creative ways, something which is valuable not only in academic and work environments, but in day-to-day life also.4. You are giving childr en a rich cultural experience in exposing them to the music, movies, literature, art and traditions of at least two countries.5. You are raising a more open-minded child. Studies have shown that children raised in a bilingual environment are more likely to be welcoming of other peoples and customs and diversity and are less likely to be prejudiced towards those of different backgrounds.Here is an example of an example of a bilingual song (English/Spanish) which young children find not only educational but fun.Did you find this  article helpful?

3 Quick and Easy Vegetarian Recipes

3 Quick and Easy Vegetarian Recipes Image via Isorepublic.com Quinoa, Egg, and Avocado Bowl If you need to whip up a quick, yet yummy and filling breakfast, this meal is for you! This meal is quick, with only about 15 minutes prep time and serves 2. It’s full of protein and of good calories, which will help sustain you throughout your day of being a busy, productive college student. Make the dressing: combine 1 ½ teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoon of red wine vinegar, and a dash of salt. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of already cooked quinoa, 1 cup of halved grape tomatoes, ½ cup canned unsalted black beans, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. In a pan, crack 2 eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to coat the pan with extra virgin olive oil to make sure the egg doesn’t stick to it! Top the quinoa mixture with the dressing, the eggs, and a sliced avocado. See the full recipe here. Personal Pizza If you have a little more time and need something heartier (like for lunch or dinner rather than for breakfast), try making a personal pizza! It takes 25 minutes to make, including the 15 minutes of baking time. Pizza is a great option that’ll satisfy your craving and is allowed by your vegetarian diet, since it is vegetable based. This recipe makes six slices. Preheat the oven to 500 °F with a rectangular pizza stone inside it. (If you don’t have a pizza stone, a heavy baking sheet will work). Microwave 1 pound of refrigerated fresh pizza dough in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap before putting it in the microwave. Lightly flour a surface and roll out the dough there into a 1512 inch rectangle. On a piece of parchment paper, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of plain yellow cornmeal. Let it stand for 5 minutes before baking. The cornmeal keeps the dough from sticking to the pan, and it also makes the crust extra crispy! Place the parchment paper and dough on a flat baking sheet. Bake at 500 °F for 3 minutes. Once it’s done, spread marinara sauce on the crust and top with 1 thinly sliced tomato, corn, 3 ½ ounces (about 1 cup) of fresh mozzarella cheese, and garlic. Slide it onto the hot pizza stone and leave it baking for 12 minutes (or until the edges are crispy). Garnish with salt, pepper, basil, red pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic glaze. Cut it into 6 slices. See the full recipe here. Black Bean Burgers People usually think of meat when they think of burgers, but it doesn’t have to be this way! Black bean burgers are yummy, easy to make, and vegetarian-friendly. This recipe will take you 20 minutes, and it serves 4 people. You’ll need to whip out your food processor if you decide to make this meal, but it’s so worth it. Place 1 slice of toasted and torn up whole grain bread into a food processor (pulse 5 times). Then, transfer it to a bowl. Combine the following ingredients and place them into a food processor: ¼ cup grated onion, 1 tablespoon chopped garlic, 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lime juice, ¾ teaspoon ground cumin, ¾ tablespoon ground cumin, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon grated lime rind. Pulse the food processor 4-5 times. Add a whole 15 ounce can of unsalted black beans, 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, ½ teaspoon hot sauce, 1 lightly beaten egg, and the toast to the mixture. Stir the mixture well. Divide it into 4 equal parts and shape each of them into a patty. Lightly grease a skillet and cook the patties on it for 4 minutes on each side, or until they are brown. See the full recipe here. Managing a dietary restriction as a college student can be tough. Unfortunately, the food you can eat might be more expensive or harder to find. But that doesn’t mean you can’t create something delicious that will meet your vegetarian diet! The recipes I suggested are quick, easy, yummy, and don’t require any meat, perfect for a busy college student vegetarian! I hope you enjoy them, and of course, always handle kitchen utensils and appliances safely.

Elementary School Math Tutor - ALOHA Mind Math

Elementary School Math Tutor Elementary school is the foundation for a child’s educational progress and it is important to have a logical approach to teaching at this level. At the elementary school level, the instructors interact with students and work along with them through the exercises. The tutors help students to get comfortable with numbers. The role of an elementary school math tutor is to give children a firm foundation in mathematics. Students who are good at math are given challenges that tease their talent. Such challenges at the elementary level help build a strong foundation for sustained growth at higher levels. A good tutor should assess each and every child through observation or an assessment program and based on the results devise a suitable method to address shortcomings in their math knowledge. For young children, computation and problem solving start with whole numbers which move on later to decimals, fractions, integers etc. This foundation is essential for tackling algebra at middle and high school level. One way of looking at a child’s proficiency in math is the grade obtained by them. For children with poor grades, the elementary school math tutor should look for signs of lack of interest or enthusiasm in math learning. Generally young children love to learn math. Being a fascinating subject children love math related activities such as counting numbers, money and telling time by looking at the clock. Lack of interest can happen even to children who are otherwise capable. Children like challenges and if the math is not challenging enough, they tend to lose interest. To be successful, the tutor should provide lessons specific to the age of the child. Math class for kids is not the place show the tutor’s math proficiency. The tutor should also have a proper assessment of each child and for this purpose communicate with the students, their parents and teachers alike. The parents on their part should explain to their tutors about their children and the turnaround expected as a result of the coaching. Such a target oriented approach makes tutors to work towards the goal. Children should be convinced about the need for such tutoring in math, which is not a punishment but just a supplement.

Teacher talks What its really like teaching English in China

Teacher talks What it’s really like teaching English in China If you haven’t read it, here’s the first part of our Teacher Talks series with Dave on the differences between teaching ESL to kids vs. adults. And if you don’t have time for that, let me catch you up. Dave Stewart is a placement coordinator for the Explore Program in China. He spent several years teaching abroad in both China and South Korea. This blog will specifically look at his experience teaching in China. So, let’s jump right in! Why did you decide teaching in China was the best fit for you? If I’m really honest, I’d say to add to my travel-cred. South Korea felt like something a lot of people almost expected to hear when I said I taught English abroad. China had a bit more mystery to it, and I wanted an experience that was different from most. I was actually curious about teaching in China for a while. I first visited on vacation and there was just so much to see. It’s a much bigger country than South Korea, so I felt like there was a lot more for me to explore. The cities were bigger, there were larger and more diverse expat communities. In Korea, the expat community was mainly ESL teachers but in China there were all sorts of expats working in different industries. It was also the novelty of it too, there are things you just never forget - like these goat skewers that you could get from street vendors in Beijing. They were delicious, but it’s the only time in my life I’ve eaten food that has been heated by a hairdryer! Aside from all that, when I actually sat down and did my research, I felt that China had the most opportunities when it came to teaching adults. Read this: 5 reasons why you should teach in China What are some of the main challenges you’ve experienced teaching adults in China? I suppose one of the main things teachers have to adjust to is mostly cultural. There’s a real fear of losing face. Getting students to speak up is probably 80% of the work in the classroom. I used loads of different techniques. Bigger groups weren’t the best for the shy-natured students, so I divided them into smaller groups, focusing on roleplay and pair work. With adults, they need to know the value of what you’re teaching them. So a lot of the roleplay has to be quite specific, business situations and real-life scenarios played out better than more imaginative stuff. At first, it can be a bit stressful because there is that feeling of talking to a wall, it’s a catch-22 with teaching ESL. Adults are silent, so you’d give anything to get them to speak up, and kids won’t shut up, so you’d do anything to get them to be quiet and focus for a few minutes. I’ve heard that English pronunciation is especially tricky for Chinese (Mandarin) speakers...is that true? Definitely, there are quite a few problems with intonations and phonology. One of the big issues that Chinese English learners have is with vowel sounds. What happens when someone mispronounces a consonant is that you can still figure out the meaning. Like “Coppee” as a pronunciation for “Coffee” in Korea. But if a learner messes up the vowels it becomes much harder to understand what they want to say. Check out the University of Toronto OISE TEFL course’s specialization in teaching English to Mandarin speakers How did you give students feedback? Was there a grading system in place? For private lessons and conversation classes we were given feedback reports to fill out after every class. These could be more candid and in depth than anything you might give a child. I would still always try to be encouraging so give them any negatives in a compliment sandwich. Any horror stories you care to share? I had a student that called himself “Death”, and it wasn’t an accident. He knew what it meant and it was written on all his business cards. He was an odd guy, but part of teaching is accepting people as they are, so you just have to roll with it. Was anything about living in China ever frustrating? Using Bing instead of Google. Maybe the biggest thing for a Westerner teaching in China is the frustration with access to news sources. Many of the sites I would usually go to for current events were blocked or censored. Also anyone that’s taught abroad appreciates the treasure trove of Realia that YouTube represents. In Korea, I would often incorporate videos into classes, but that wasn’t possible in China. They use a network called Weebo to host videos instead and it just doesn’t have the same number of native English speakers creating content. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. A lot of teachers worry that living in China will be restrictive and they won’t have as much freedom. How would you respond to that? That’s one of those false assumptions, there are a lot of rules in China, certainly a lot more than in Vancouver - but for some reason I felt freer there. Perhaps because in Vancouver we enforce the rules that do exist, in China I found them quite lax as long as you weren’t disturbing anyone. It felt safer to go for a walk at night, the culture didn’t have any aggressive masculine undertones like in the West and you could grab a beer and go for a walk without worrying. I loved wandering there, which isn’t something I’d do in Vancouver. In China, I would just stumble across historical monuments or vendors selling weird foods. China gave me a different perspective on things I thought I already knew. In the west there’s this idea that communism is a bad thing, but they were so proud of their rich history and saw Mao as a liberator of the people. Just witnessing that first hand was fascinating and something I could never have imagined sitting at home reading about China. It’s not a place that can be described, I’d recommend spending time there to anyone who is curious about the country. Professional development is a big part of Chinese culture and work. Did you get a chance to develop your teaching skills? Definitely, they encourage all teachers to take courses and even pay for them. While I was there I did a distance learning course in phonology that was so useful in the classroom. It allowed me to hone in on specific issues with the student’s pronunciation and figure out where they were straying. It was amazing to get a chance to really understand the mechanics of ESL for Chinese students and get a bit more context about how to help them with their specific issues. If teachers are looking to take a TEFL course and know they want to teach in China or Korea, it might be wise to take one with a country specific specialization tagged on. Some of that information will be gold in the classroom. What was the most interesting thing about teaching in China? How focused they were on my strengths and the way they helped me grow my skills. I’m a stickler for interesting lessons and they saw that strength and gave me room to research and develop new classes for the school. I loved having that sense of creative ownership and being able to come up with ways to tweak and improve classes other teachers had designed.

Solving Solvable Solving Problems Through Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry Practice

Solving Solvable Solving Problems Through Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry PracticeWhen you first become acquainted with the subject of organic chemistry, you may wonder what the purpose of getting involved in stereochemistry practice problems is. Well, if you are at that stage, you will have to get the right attitude and mindset about stereochemistry and this can be done through working out some solvable stereochemistry practice problems.There are a few rules for practicing chemistry. For example, you should never try to solve these problems before you have understood the basics of the subject. In other words, if you try to do this on your own you will never understand how stereochemistry is actually conducted and at best you will end up trying to outsmart your instructor.You should always try to learn the basic concept first before trying to tackle some hard-core problems. This will help you grasp the exact process of working with the molecules in a scientific manner. If you fail to do this, you will end up with wrong conclusions and may end up being wrong with the results. To put it another way, by taking some organic chemistry stereochemistry practice problems, you will be able to prepare yourself for the actual test.When you are practicing the stereochemistry problems, you should try to get a better understanding of the lab procedure. For this, you must ensure that you are well prepared in terms of chemical equipments. Before you try to solve these problems, you should also look up all the available resources to help you understand the process. But before you get the necessary information, it is important that you remember that you should be proficient in the procedures before taking on any stereochemistry practice problems.Once you are confident that you are equipped and ready, you may proceed to attempt to solve the solvable problems. As a guideline, you should try to solve the problem on the right side and you should also keep in mind that your task is not to understand the entire theory behind the structure of the molecule but instead to solve the stereochemistry practice problems. You should be familiar with the theory on the molecular structure and that is the least complicated part of the process. So, you can try to solve the problems on a given side and focus on solving it on the correct side.You should also make a note of the results as you proceed through the procedure and start putting your solutions on the relevant problems. As far as the solvable problems are concerned, it is also important that you take them one at a time. This will help you focus on the solution and eventually you will understand the process better and will get the right solution that you want.Of course, before you embark on this new line of studies, you must first have some basic understanding of chemistry and the basics of the field. Studying this field can be a challenging process but once you have a handle on the concepts, you will be able to work your way to success. So, ensure that you get all the help that you need so that you can tackle the challenges of the field of organic chemistry.

Geometry Whizz - The Cheesiest Geometry Discovered

Geometry Whizz - The Cheesiest Geometry DiscoveredIf you have been studying geometry with the use of a geometry wedge and the written geometry text then you may have developed your own form of geometry - or what I have dubbed the 'Geometry Whizz. What you are doing is developing a new geometry and you are able to follow the directions as they were laid out without problems. However, what you might not realize is that geometry is not the only geometry. Instead, geometry is a branch of science that deals with specific shapes.When you study the geometry with the use of the geometry wedge, you may discover that there are other types of geometry that you are not even aware of. One type of geometry you may never have even considered is called the Geometry Whizz.You may have also come across this geometrical form of study which looks nothing like the rest of the word. It looks like nothing else. It is called a Geometry Whizz. The main characteristic of the Geometry Whizz is that it is forme d by a 'cheese-like' appearance.You would not necessarily think of a Geometry Whizz as cheese-like. The Geometry Whizz actually looks more like a 'cheese-like' odd shape. When you take a closer look at the Geometry Whizz, you will see that it is actually a crack or fissure in the surface of the slice of cheese.You can also see the Geometry Whizz is a cheese-like appearance. You can start to understand this when you actually slice it. This crack is actually formed by the geometry wedge. The geometry wedge of the Geometry Whizz comes into contact with the natural graphite of the cube that the Geometry Whizz is formed by.The geometry wedge forms what is called a 'shark tooth' which is formed of the roughness of the design and also the trace elements which allow the natural graphite to be forced into the material. This is the result of the natural graphite being forced into the sand, which has been pulled out and rounded to form the shape of the Geometry Whizz.The Geometry Whizz has a r elatively low self-circular shape. However, it is still somewhat cylindrical. The Geometry Whizz is also a lower part of the cube.
