7 Smart Tips to Know When Taking an Online Course

7 Smart Tips to Know When Taking an Online Course via Pixabay Set Up Your Technology A week or two before you start your online course, make sure you have the technological support that you will need. This could be a computer program, webcam, microphone, or a certain computer in general. It may take some time to get these devices if you don’t already have them. If you do have everything you need, run a quick diagnostics and check to make sure everything is in working order. Nobody likes showing up to the first class unprepared! Hold Yourself Accountable When taking an online course, you need to hold yourself accountable for completing assignments and learning the material provided. It’s easy to forget about an assignment because you aren’t in a classroom talking to your classmates about the course. It’s also easy to decide not to pay attention to your online course. Whether the set up of the course is through readings, videos, or live online classes, it’s important to dedicate your full attention to your instructor. Find a Designated Study Space Claim a designated study space when you take your online course. Treat it as if you are going to a classroom for every class meeting, but you get to choose the spot. Maybe it’s a couch in your living room. It could be your favorite coffee shop on campus. Or it could be right from your desk in your room. Choose a space where you can concentrate on your online course and where you won’t be distracted. You may feel tempted to lay in bed and take your online course because it’s super comfortable. That could cause you to pay less attention to the material, though. It’s best to find a productive space where you know all of your attention will be on your online course. Take It With a Friend Stay motivated when taking an online course by taking it with a friend. When you know someone else who is learning the same thing and going through the same experience, you can help each other stay motivated and answer any questions that may come up. Since there isn’t face-to-face interaction with other people taking the class, it’s nice to have a friend to study with before a big exam or work on a project together. Make a Schedule Every online course is different. Some may require you to “meet” with the professor at a designated time each week while others can be taken at your own pace. When an online course can be taken at your own pace, it’s important to make a schedule and dedicate specific times to learning and studying. Set a goal for when you would like to finish the course and plan out how many chapters or modules you will have to complete each week and how long they should take you. Write it down on your calendar and make sure to stick to it! via Pixabay Connect with the Instructor Students taking an online course may be under the impression that because they are not seeing their instructor face-to-face means that they are not as dedicated to their students’ success. It’s important to communicate with your instructor, especially if you have a question or concern with the online course. Some courses may offer instant chat features to contact your instructor quickly. If not, just send an email! It’s as easy as that! Know That Online Classes Aren’t Easier People are under the impression that an online course is easier than taking an in-person class. This isn’t always the case. It may be much harder due to the content material or the set up of the course. So, don’t go into the online course assuming that it is going to be easier and think that you can just coast your way through. Be prepared to work hard and dedicate a lot of time to studying and completing assignments. Succeed in an Online Course When you go into an online course knowing that it may be harder than an in-person class, dedicate time and a study space, and hold yourself accountable for all of the work, you’ll definitely pass! Don’t be afraid to reach out to the instructor with any questions too!

Avoiding Student Loan Repayment Traps

Avoiding Student Loan Repayment Traps Image via pexels.com 1) Be as knowledgeable as you can regarding loans   One of the biggest issues that arise from student loans is students lack of general knowledge when it comes to student loans and how to repay them. When you first accepted your student loans, you should have gone through loan counseling that offered a quick lesson on student loans and how to repay them. Unfortunately, many college students breezed through it without much thought or took it so long ago that they forget the majority of what they had learned through loan counseling. There are plenty credible articles and pages dedicated to shedding light on student loans and their repayment process take advantage. Once you have general knowledge of student loans, get more specific information on your own loans: the total cost, interest rates, payment deadlines, etc. If you need more information specific to your student loans, enlist the direct help of your lender to receive statements holding all the information you will need. Keep any and all statements handy so they are easy to find when future questions come up. 2) Be sure about your   interest rates  and how they can vary depending on the loan Interest rates on your student loans will vary depending on the loan type and the first disbursement date of the loan. Make sure you are fully aware of what student loans you have accepted and the interest rate associated with each one When repaying your student loans, some of your payment will be applying to your principal balance. To be sure about the exact amount going toward your principal balance, contact your loan servicer to confirm your payment. Your loan servicer will be the company that collects your student loan payments, responds to any of your questions, and performs miscellaneous administrative tasks associated with federal student loans on your behalf. 3) Keep up with deadlines and dont rely on reminders from others   Another big issue that students often encounter when it comes to student loan repayment is failing to repay their student loans on time. Its easy  to forget one small deadline when there are countless other things going on in your life, especially when loan servicers will not be sending you constant reminders to keep up with your student loan payments. Likewise, you dont want to just rely on yourself to remember deadlines mentally as it will be easy for payment deadlines to slip your mind when a friend is getting married the same week or when you are rushing to pay rent. Write your deadlines everywhere you would plan your other priorities out your personal planner, a wall calendar in your office, your Google Calendar, or Post-it notes on your fridge. 4) Remember that putting off paying loans will ultimately mean more interest in the long run It may seem simple enough interest rates add on to your principal balance as time passes. The more time that passes, the higher amount you will have to repay on your student loans. Unfortunately, many college students and graduates forget about this when they actually have their own student loans to pay. When you are repaying your student loans, you may hear the terms forbearance or deferment, which will allow you to temporarily reduce monthly payments or temporarily stop paying payments. Understand the difference between the two before agreeing to commit to either one. Deferment will mean that you may not be responsible for paying the interest that will accumulate during your deferment period, depending on the type of loan you are deferring the payments on. With forbearance, you will be responsible for paying the interest that accumulates on all federal student loans. The eligibility for both varies, but if you are enrolled in college or career school at least half-time, you will most likely be placed into a deferment period automatically for the duration of your enrollment. Take caution into when your deferment period ends (along with post-graduation grace periods) so that you can avoid missing payments once they are expected to be paid once again.

Growing Up In The Steroid Era Testimonies From Youth Athletes On PEDs

Growing Up In The Steroid Era Testimonies From Youth Athletes On PEDs Some Orioles fans show what they think about A-Rod and his steroid use at a game against the Yankees (image courtesy of Flickr) He picked up the vial and nonchalantly placed it back in his locker and that was that. As far as I know, he was never approached about his sudden improvement on the field or his physical transformation from a chubby freshman to a gargantuan senior. Today, the picture of what it was to grow up as an athlete in the steroid era is becoming clear. The “steroid era” is the name given to the period from the early 1990s to the mid-2000s when steroids and other PEDs were widely used in Major League Baseball (MLB).PEDs include steroids as well as any other substance that increases performance, including but not limited to human-growth hormone (HGH) and creatine. Although baseball led the way in usage, other sports were far from innocent bystanders. Younger and younger athletes began taking these substances to gain an advantage on the field and to keep up with others that were doing the same. “PEDs have been popping up in almost every sport, even ones you wouldn’t expect: golf, tennis, you name it,” said Tufts University Director of Sports Medicine Nick Mitropolous. Although Mitropolous recalled that Tufts hasn’t had an illegal substance case in quite a while, he insists it’s because users are getting smarter about which, when, and how much they use, not because they have stopped. Even though college and high school athletes are not currently making “a lot of money,” taking illegal substances is “a risk they’re willing to take” because it gives them an edge over their competitors, makes them better players, and gains the attention of scouts at the next level. This “risk,” however, may not be all that risky. According to many prior and current sports administration personnel (including Mitropolous himself), testing for illegal substances is not a serious threat to users. “Have you ever heard of someone getting caught using steroids in high school sports?” said Kevin*, a 25-year-old former high school and college baseball pitcher who used PEDs in college. “College sports even? Neither had I. Its an easy and naive rationalization but apparently a good enough one for some kids.” Most colleges are required to test their players only if they qualify for NCAA tournaments and when collegiate athletes are tested, they are often told well in advance the date it will happen. This gives them ample time to “flush” their body by drinking large amounts of water or by using  other methods of cleansing. “As soon as I started practices and workouts [at college] the older guys on the team were asking us new guys if they needed steroids,” recalled Chris*, a 22-year-old former college infielder. “I was pretty shocked at how easily they could be acquired. I knew seven guys on my team who used for sure, but being an NAIA [National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics] school, the drug testing consisted of two not-so-random drugs tests per year. The date of the test was always announced and not once was a known user tested.” At his college, 21-year-old offensive lineman Patrick* learned that budget cuts would prevent his school from running any more drug tests for that semester, so he said “Why not?” Various steroids (image courtesy of Wikipedia) Patrick is no longer a user, however. “I stopped during the summer between my sophomore and junior year because I started to feel intense pain in my abdomen and it was obviously from the stuff I was taking,” Patrick said. “If it weren’t for the pain, I would probably still be doing them.” At Tufts, Mitropolous made it clear that tests are only run if there is ample suspicion of use. Unless there is a telling injury or a witness comes forward, testing on the athletes is not done regularly. It seems, then, that the only real deterrent is the negative side-effects on health and the unfair advantage over non-users. And let’s face it: if you are considering PEDs, the latter is not going to stop you. As a matter of fact, that is the main reason to do them in the first place. But for a young athlete, the former should give pause. Shouldn’t it? “Perhaps the only area where there is no doubt or controversy is when it comes to young people: these drugs, especially anabolic steroids, are unanimously considered harmful to the young,”  wrote Caroline K. Hatton, Ph. D, the former Associate Director of the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory, in her 2008 book  Night Team. Sadly, statements such as Dr. Hatton’s fall on the deaf ears of thousands of young athletes who have seen their heroes ascend to legends with PEDs as their catalyst. 2012 MLB All-Star Game Most Valuable Player  Melky Cabrera was suspended  for the remainder of the San Francisco Giants’ World Series-winning year when he tested positive halfway through the season.  Cyclist Lance Armstrong  was implicated in leading a PED ring and was consequently stripped of his seven Tour de France wins. And it was no surprise to haters and fans alike when New York Yankees’ third baseman  Alex Rodriguez’s name came up on a known supplier’s clientele list. There is no hiding that stardom has a profound effect on the decisions of young people, especially when those decisions have to be made in the environment of anticipated success. “I was considering PEDs because I couldve easily gotten away with it,” Kevin said. “It wouldve helped my lifelong dream of playing professionally.” For all of us growing up in the height of the “steroid era,” it was a decision we had to make: to dabble or not to dabble. The choice was always within arm’s reach, but the hand it was reaching for comes in many shapes and sizes. While Kevin approached one of his high school coaches during his senior year of high school about PEDs, Rogers was being approached by upperclassmen at his college. Patrick, however, told me he got all the information he needed to start, as well as the drugs themselves, online. “I literally just went on the internet and Googled ‘legal steroids’ and sure enough there was  a website called legalsteroids.com  run by a company out of Lake Worth, Florida called SDI-Labs,” Patrick said. “They had discrete shipping so I just told my mom I was ordering some protein powder. They’re not hard to come by.” The PED phenomenon is not new by any means, but the movement toward synthetic performance-enhancers is a generational concern. Because there is such immense pressure on these young athletes and the substances are easily attainable, their widespread use should not come as a surprise. Creatine supplement (image courtesy of Flickr) Just a couple years ago, a Wisconsin high school reported that ten players on its football team had ingested a banned substance and were subsequently suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season. The substance, called Synephrine, was contained in an over-the-counter  Creatine Nitrate product called  C4 Extreme. The athletes claimed ignorance, but Eric Holden, a contributor for Yahoo! Sports, hit the nail on the head: “Any athlete who grew up in the 1990s and early-2000s knows the word creatine is synonymous with former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGuire, who used a combo of creatine and andro to bulk up into a home run slugger. That may be the first tip-off that C4 Extreme was a performance-enhancer.” Granted, a certain amount of hard work still has to go into day-to-day activities and getting big in the weight room does not guarantee success on the playing field, but as Patrick pointed out, “If nothing else, I certainly  felt  like I had an advantage over the other guys out there.” The problem of PEDs is a many-faceted issue. Some talk of legalizing PEDs in sports and such a proposal raises many controversial questions about competition, health, and even morals.  Such a world leaves the door open to change sport  from a competitive event between athletes into a pharmaceutical rat race. Who can produce the cheapest drug with the most potent effect? The health consequences alone would shorten the lives of any athlete who submerged themselves wholeheartedly. It would spell the end of sport as we know it. If the “steroid era” has taught us anything, it is that penalties must be enforced and potential consumers need as much incentive as possible not to partake in the craze. I call it a craze because we live in a world obsessed with immediate gratification and excess. If there is a quicker way to elevate your performance, youll take that opportunity head on. “If you take anyone who has a talent and you tell them you can enhance that talent to make a lot of money, more often than not, that’s a risk they’re willing to take, Mitropolous said.  â€œIt’s never going away. This is not to say every athlete, and especially those who are successful, have taken PEDs. There are a number of  players from the steroid era who managed to stay clean and perform well. There is even more hope in our youth than statistics or writers like myself may have you believe. I never took steroids. Thats not to say I was never around it as early as that moment my freshman year in the locker room and as late as when I conducted interviews for this piece. Patrick gave me the rest of his pills after we talked. The two bottles (D-bol and Winni-V) were still about half-full when he handed them to me. According to their website, the 60-capsule bottle of D-bol is the “most powerful mass building oral on the market!” and the Winni-V pills will “add quality muscle mass and increase stamina!” Together they will set you back $159.90 plus shipping. I wasnt expecting to ever hold steroids. Yes, they are perfectly legal for the common man, but for those of us who saw nothing but their tainted image on SportsCenter and the sports pages of newspapers, they might as well have been heroin capsules. Roger Clemens pitching for the Houston Astros in 2005 (image courtesy of Wikipedia) I took them home and curiously opened the bottle. I made a joke to my dad that we should take them, and, within the same breath, threw them in the garbage can. My generation was on the cusp, just when the shit was hitting the fan in Major League Baseball. We saw McGuire and Sammy Sosa go at it, Roger Clemens pitch into his 40s and  acts of sheer strength. We also witnessed the downfall of these moments: when it came out that our favorite players, those we looked up to, were cheaters. Our sources have shown that it was common for PEDs to be introduced at the high school level, but our sources are now graduating college. There is a new wave of youth athletes who are faced with this question. This generation plays in the wake of it all. My cousin Anthony is part of this generation. He is in high school. He tells me there are really no talks circling around his baseball teams locker room regarding steroids. Maybe we are seeing a change in the winds. After all, at this point we are beyond the period where athletes can take them innocently. They know the history and know they cannot live outside of it. I feel confident the youth of today understand not only the moral implications of using, but also the very real health concerns at stake. Where we have taken sports is not a good direction. The pressure is unrelenting on the youth athletes. The multimillion dollar salaries we throw at players only furthers to keep this problem alive. Steroids were a shortcut for players to improve faster and perform better, but it was also a way to ensure they were not kicked to the curb. Its the fear of failure. This is why Mitropolous believes they will never go away. Because we have seen they are so easy to get, it is truly up to the individual which road to take

Taking Chemistry Tutors

Taking Chemistry TutorsEven if you are interested in pursuing a career in chemistry and have already mastered the basic introductory classes in this subject, you may want to consider taking a chemistry tutor at the college or university level. One of the most important reasons to consider these tutors is the fact that they will improve your overall understanding of the subject and your proficiency in using the lab equipment. While one can actually take up organic chemistry on their own, there are many benefits of pursuing a chemistry tutor.Bohr is famous for his initial experiments in chemistry, which were done using lead. Today he would still be considered as an explorer and his experiences would serve as a great resource to learn about organic chemistry. What is so remarkable about the Bohr experiments is that he was able to discover what was already known by the likes of Newton, Boyle, Bachelard, and Burnet - that is that by using lead to test substances, he discovered something n ew about chemistry. After discovering the chemical properties of lead, he was able to publish his results and this enabled others to learn more about chemistry and how it works. This is essentially what the chemistry tutor provides for an individual.He is able to help you develop a relationship with the professor, in a way that you can work together to come up with your own ideas, and not have to worry about the professor always dictating your research. You can discuss the different discoveries and ideas as well as present your own observations and findings to the professor. If he is able to help you in the ways that the professor would want, you can almost guarantee that he will also be able to teach you the same way.Some colleges and universities now require their students to take part in a program called 'College Chemistry', to help them get a head start on the actual physical requirements for a college chemistry class. This is a great benefit of working with a college chemistry tutor. The tutor would be able to explain the theory to you and would show you the various laboratory methods and materials that you need to use. This means that when you enter the lab, you will know what to expect, as well as what materials you will need to use, and he can also make sure that the lab is both safe and clean.Inorganic chemistry is about materials in and of themselves, and will continue to move forward as we continue to explore ever more novel materials. Working with a chemistry tutor means that you will be able to hone your skills and knowledge in the areas of syntheses, compositions, and models. Being able to explain your ideas to him will enable you to be able to work on them independently. This could also help you to learn more about these areas, enabling you to move on to organic chemistry on your own.Once you get past the basics of undergraduate organic chemistry and realize how advanced research has been done in the field, you will be able to look back and reca ll the lessons learned from Bohr's lead experiments and know where you stand in regards to understanding chemistry. It is with this in mind that he is still highly recommended by those who do chemistry, as he helped provide a foundation for many others to study chemistry.Just as you must attend college and continue your education in the various subjects of chemistry, you must also seek out a tutor when you decide to get into organic chemistry.

The Value Of A Masters Degree

The Value Of A Masters Degree A Masters degree traditionally carries an honorable, intelligent and prestigious clout; however, the value of this clout is a moot point. To some, a Masters degree is a sign of intellectual superiority, but to others it could simply be a framed piece of paper that needs to be dusted regularly. There are many pros and cons to pursuing a Masters degree, and it would be wise for students to make the decision of whether they will pursue one early. As the economy plummets, the interest in graduate programs increases. Mark Taylor, chairman of the religion department at Columbia University, wrote a testimonial published online through The New York Times. Taylor claimed that only 19 percent of students from the 2009 graduating class found jobs immediately out of college. He wrote that many young people in the professional workforce are fired early into their careers. These people, along with the graduating students unable to find jobs, will consider earning a Masters degree. Taylor warned students of the excessive costs of pursuing a sometimes worthless Masters degree. As a lifelong educator, I believe more education is always a good thing, but buyers must beware, wrote Taylor, who is the author of Field Notes From Elsewhere: Reflections on Dying and Living. Far too many students come out of college with substantial debts that plague them for years. He also noted that the situation is different for every student. Some graduate degree programs can be very helpful for certain careers but many are not, wrote Taylor. And, remember, what is most interesting is not always most practical. Be sure you consider your motives and goals carefully. Do not simply assume that another degree after your name is going to open doors. Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus and professor of public services at George Washington University, also wrote a testimonial to The New York Times. He wrote that a Masters Degree is an upgrade. If you originally matriculated at a college you are vaguely uneasy about, taking an M.A. at a more elite institution allows you to kick down and kiss up, henceforth letting you tell people you went to school in New Haven, wrote Trachtenberg. And it does, of course, ornament a resume indicating academic sitzfleisch the ability to keep your behind in a chair in a diligent manner. He also argued that a Masters Degree allows one to alter directions in ones career. Trachtenberg wrote that it is absolutely makes sense for a student to pursue a Masters Degree in a bad job market only if the programs cost is not too steep for that particular student. Liz Pulliam Weston, personal finance columnist for MSN Money, agreed with Trachtenberg arguing that Graduate school has traditionally been a great place to wait out recessions while honing your skills for a better job. But sometimes, the payoff doesnt justify the cost. She outlined the benefits of certain degrees. She found that people with associate degrees earned more than those with a high school degree. She noted that a Bachelors degree at an inexpensive college is well worth it, and she discovered that professional degrees in law or medicine lead to a big payoff. She wrote that a Masters degree in business or engineering fields enhances ones income. However, in the liberal arts and social sciences fields do not augment ones income. She also warned that students must be able to pay off their debt from graduate school. Otherwise, you could quite literally spend the rest of your life scraping to pay off your debt, wrote Weston in her testimonial. I hear from too many readers who have six-figure student loan debts and $40,000 incomes. They cant save for retirement or buy a home; some cant even pay the minimums they owe on their debt. She also noted that students should take advantage of federal, student loans and not private loans because federal loans offer more protection. I recommend students borrow no more for their educations, in total, than they expect to make the first year out of school, wrote Weston. Weston is the author of Easy Money, Your Credit Score and Deal with Your Debt. Richard Vedder, director of the Center of College Affordability and Productivity and teaches economics at Ohio University, defended the Masters degree. He noted that young adults with Masters degrees earned about 15 percent more than those with a bachelors diploma. The lifetime earnings gains for the second degree should reach into the low six digits, wrote Vedder in his testimonial to The New York Times. For many, the rate of return on the added college investment therefore should be reasonably high and it beats unemployment or working in a low-skilled, low-wage retail trade job. However, Vedder noted that the earnings will depend on the field of study. He raised the opportunity cost point that a student would face. The student could potentially forego two years in the workforce making money while pursuing a Masters degree. He wrote that attaining a Masters degree could cost a student up to $100,000. Ultimately, there are many reasons why students may choose to pursue a Masters degree. Students should know their Master degrees potential worth, and if they can afford its cost. In 2008, 65.6 percent of undergraduate students gaining a 4-year Bachelors degree accumulated some debt. The average debt for these students was $23,186, according to FinAid.com. 86.3 percent took out federal loans, and the average debt for students with federal loans was $24,651. The average, accumulated debt rose by $1,139 at a 5.6 percent increase since 2004, according to FinAid.com. FinAid also reported that graduate and professional students face larger debt, ranging from $30,000 to $120,000 for a graduate degree. The median debt for a Masters degree is $25,000. A doctoral degrees debt is $52,000 and professional degrees debt is $79,836.
