Start the Semester Organized with These 5 Tips

Start the Semester Organized with These 5 Tips The beginning of a new semester can be overwhelming: the whirlwind of classes, new classmates and professors, and the start of assignments and long-term projects. You can help minimize the stress by organizing yourself, your materials, and space before classes begin. Start the semester organized with these five tips: 1. Create a daily/weekly schedule Once youve finalized your class schedule, create a timesheet either on your computer or by hand that shows when and where your classes are. It can be helpful to have a visual representation showing the blocks of time you must set aside, so you can easily see which days will be your busiest and how to plan ahead. If you like, block out periods of study time, as well as extracurricular and personal activities like working out or attending a club meeting. Print this sheet or have it easily accessible on your computer. When you need to schedule an appointment with a professor or hang out with a friend, youll be able to easily see what times work best for you, helping you to manage your time as a whole. 2. Decide on a planner There are so many different ways tostart the semester organized, but it helps many visual students to use a planner. Think about what youve used in the past, and decide what organizational system you want to use this semester. Consider the calendar app on your phone or computer, a wall calendar, an assignment notebook, or planner. Take advantage of alarms and alerts you can set on your phone, as well as stickynotes or little notebooks in which you can write down to-do lists. Make sure you have a place to list important dates, events, and meetings, in addition to email addresses, phone numbers, and assignments to complete. 3. Buy supplies and books One of the more fun beginning-of-the-year activities from childhood is buying school supplies. Make sure you do that as an older student as well. Go to the store and purchase notebooks, binders, folders, writing utensils, and organizational tools for your desk. You might be able to repurpose old notebooks or folders from previous years. Additionally, be sure to purchase or rent all of the books and texts required for the semester. The campus bookstore shouldhave the books you need, but if you like, you can sometimes find cheaper copies online. 4. Organize your room and desk space At the beginning of the year, take time to organize your room and desk space. This includes designating places for supplies like notebook paper, handouts you receive from class, writing utensils, staplers, tape, etc. Youll want to look into desktop storage options, like bookends, mini drawer sets, letter trays, file shelves, or cup organizers. If you know where your materialsare, you shouldhave more time for actual studying. 5. Make a list of important contacts Be sure to keep a list of contact information close at hand. This can be of individual people, but also of important places on campus, like the career center, the health center, the writing center, tech support, and your department of study. Before your semester starts, decide how you want to organize both your physical space and your mind. This way, you should be more mentally preparedfor busier and more stressful weeks. Dont forget that you can reevaluate what has been working for you along the way and tweak as needed.

English Classes with TED How to Hold Your Breath, in English

Blaine held his breath for 17 minutes.David Blaine, according to TED:Called a modern-day Houdini by The New York Times, David Blaine made himself a household name with TV special David Blaine: Street Magic shedding the sweeping glitz and drama of other TV magic programs in favor of a simple premise: illusions done right on the street, in front of handheld cameras and speechless passersby.With Buried Alive, Blaine was entombed underground for seven days in a transparent plastic coffin, visible to gawking pedestrians above, setting off a new trend in his performance career: the endurance stunt. The pursuit led to other spectacles featuring cramped spaces and extreme conditions: Frozen in Time, which saw him encased in a block of ice for almost three days, and Vertigo, where he stood atop a 100-foot pillar for 35 hours.Blaines stunts continue to draw immense crowds and Nielsen ratings to match, but his appearance on Oprah was perhaps most stunning, when he broke the Guinness world record for breath-holding, staying underwater for 17 minutes and 4.5 seconds.For TED Blaine told the story of how was able to accomplish this stunt, after a series of setbacks.

The Most Influential People Who Never Lived

The Most Influential People Who Never Lived Photo by ALA Staff via Flickr. The idea of experience-taking, and the fact that voters were able to identify so quickly with a first person narrative, begs us to question the effects long-time and well known, popular characters have on us. For instance, if you think back to one of your favorite characters, be it from a novel or movie, you will probably recall certain events the character went through that made you empathize with them. This empathy plays a large role in how we bond and identify with characters and causes their experiences to feel real because weve been through a similar experience ourselves. “We’d have no way of processing a character cognitively if we didn’t have experiences with people outside of the fictional world,” explained  Howard Sklar, post doctoral researcher in the English Philology Unit at the University of Helsinki in an article on character bonding. “The experiences with fictional characters resonate with us because of the fact that we’ve had deep experiences with people throughout our lives,” he said. We begin to sympathize with characters and invest ourselves in their well-being, just as we would family members or friends, which gives us the distinct impression, even if only for a moment, that theyre real people. In fact, as the article suggests, we may even know these characters more deeply than even our loved ones, as we tend to fill in the gaps of their past and then get a glimpse into their most private thoughts and compulsions, causing us to fully know their personality. “If you can get people to relate to characters in this way, you might really open up their horizons, getting them to relate to social groups that maybe they wouldnt have otherwise,” Lisa Libby,  assistant professor of psychology at The Ohio State University,  told the Edmonton Journal. Libby makes a great point in how its possible, through using more storytelling and experience-taking techniques, that we can begin to pave a way for not only students, but for a vast majority of individuals to begin seeing groups outside of their circles and cliques in a different light. Also, knowing their effect, we can begin to see how fictional characters possibly did have a role in creating some of our modern technological advances and social culture, and how their ideas could spur certain trains of thought in innovative individuals. After all, ideas occur in the realm of fiction before theyre conceived; maybe it takes the push of a beloved characters personality to follow them through.

6 Best Laptops for First-Time College Students

6 Best Laptops for First-Time College Students isorepublic.com 1. Lenovo Flex 4 I’ll admit it, I’m partial to the Lenovo flexible laptops because it’s the one I’ve had throughout my three years of college thus far. In these three years, I have had no issues with my laptop; plus, it doubles as a tablet and has an awesome touch screen. The only downside (for some people) is the size. They can be pretty small, but I love it because then I’m not breaking my back carrying them around all day on campus. Overall, a great quality laptop for any new student. 2. Apple MacBook If you just can’t make yourself like Microsoft products, the MacBook is probably the way to go. Some MacBooks come rather light, like the MacBook Air, but they can also cost a pretty penny. They’ll probably last you throughout college, but be prepared to spend a lot at first. MacBooks are said to be great for design students, but really they would work for any type of student looking for something reliable and stylish. 3. Microsoft Surface Pro Microsoft Surface Pros are sort of like the flexible Lenovo I talked about earlier, except just a little bit fancier. They’re smaller, lighter, and on some of them, you can take the screen off completely and just use it as a tablet. Plus, you can draw on their touchscreens. That’s right. Draw. This is the laptop to choose for any incoming art or architecture students. 4. ASUS Chromebook The ASUS Chromebook seems to be a well-rounded laptop. Just a heads up, if you’re an avid beverage drinker, but can get a little clumsy at times, this may be the right laptop for you. This laptop advertises itself as water resistant. Of course, this doesn’t mean waterproof so don’t go dumping a whole can of soda on it. But, if you’re worried about ruining an expensive laptop with just one wrong move, you’ll have to worry just a little less with an ASUS Chromebook. 5. Acer Aspire R 15 The Acer Aspire can get a little bit heavy and might not be the best to lug around campus if you’re doing lots of walking. If you don’t mind the extra weight, it looks like the Acer Aspire is one of the top performers in every computer category. In fact, the extra bulk may make the laptop even more durable if you happen to bump it around a little bit. It’s likely that this laptop would last you all four years. 6. Acer Chromebook If you’re looking for something with the sleekness of a MacBook without the Apple interface, look no further than the Acer Chromebook. It has a beautifully chic design that isn’t going to cost you nearly as much as a new MacBook might. In fact, it’s one of the cheapest options on this list! I hope this list has helped you narrow down what you’re looking for in the perfect college laptop. Remember, there are many other choices beyond these, and your best fit may not be on this list. Make sure that you’ve thought about what you foresee being your biggest needs throughout college. List in hand, visit your local tech store and ask for some help. If you’d rather not, there are many, many articles online detailing the pros and cons of every laptop out there. After a little bit of research and maybe a little bit of help, you’re sure to find the right fit for you.

France restrict mobile phone use in Schools - Tutor Hunt Blog

France restrict mobile phone use in Schools France rules to further restrict mobile phone use in schools France rules to further restrict mobile phone use in schoolsSchoolsLast week The French Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer announced that mobile phones will be banned in both primary and middle schools from September. French high schools, which teach children of ages between 15 and 18, will not be affected by the new ruling. The feeling over this side of the channel amongst many of the teachers I know was one of envy and admiration - how they wished that the same rules could be put into place in British schools. `I have to fight to make every lesson more interesting than the entire internet,` one secondary school teacher told me, `phones are just too much of a distraction for children during lessons.` The news report in its concise, heading shocking form `France bans mobile phones in schools` is actually slightly misleading. Phones have been prohibited in their classrooms for some years now, and this new ruling merely states that pupils are now also forbidden from using their mobile devices during any breaks, at lunchtime, and between lessons. The ruling seems to come slightly short of imposing a total ban whilst on school property, but it certainly is a step in that direction. The Education minister said that the primary motivation for the decision was one of `public health,` and hoped it would reduce cyber bullying, and encourage children to spend more time outside during their breaks. `These days the children don`t play at break time anymore,` Mr Blanquer has said. `They are just all in front of their smartphones and from an educational point of view that`s a problem,` The question of the mobile phones being permitted at school is a divisive one. There are some who favour a total ban of their use on school grounds - and there are others who opine that the mobile is a necessary part of this generations toolkit, and to deny them their device, even for a few hours, is tantamount to infringing upon a civil liberty. Perhaps you can detect from my tone that my sentiments lean more towards the former of these opposing mindsets. As a former teacher I have spent a good period of my career fighting the `little glowing demon` that would magically appear under my pupils` desks. This nefarious creature would always evade my capture, dancing from child to child, rendering them spellbound, and utterly insensible and inattentive to my lessons, which were of course fascinating. When I was a schoolboy (many many years ago) the Nintendo Gameboy was possibly the coolest piece of kit anyone could own. This portable video game console, which was about the size of a paperback book, would be surreptitiously passed around the classroom while the teacher, their back to us, scraped some chalk shorter at the blackboard (no interactive screens back then). As exciting as this monochrome, squeaky beeping device was, all it could do was display rather simple games on a tiny 2.5 inch screen. Today`s phones though are like a whole video arcade system, capable of surfing the web, playing music, and of course accessing social media. No wonder children get distracted by them, even adults can barely get their faces out of their mobiles. Many parents would not want their children to be without their phones, for reasons of safety. This is of course a perfectly understandable point of view: I would not want my child to be in a situation where, should they need assistance, they were unable to contact me. I cannot imagine such a situation occurring in a classroom during a lesson though, where a teacher will be present, and they will surrounded by their peers in an environment - one certainly hopes - of study and learning. I part company with those who think their children must have their phones with them always, wherever they are. To me this view portrays the mobile signal as a kind of invisible tether, a second umbilical cord, never to be cut, lest their child be lost forever. A few hours away from their phones might even be a relief for them schoolchildren - and it will certainly let their teachers get on with their job with greater ease. Allowing children to use their phones during breaks - that I can certainly concede to; but I really don`t know why they must be to hand during lessons. If a parent needs to contact their child they need only phone the school, who will of course know which class they are in; and if a pupil has an urgent reason to communicate with someone during a lesson, the teacher could briefly return their phone to them. We are fast becoming a nation of people addicted to their phones - nomophobes, yes, there`s even a word for it! If adults cannot look away from their screens, having picked up the habit relatively late in their lives, how strong will the addiction be for children, who are getting hooked at such a young and impressionable age? A few hours away from their phones will, in my view, make children more attentive in classes, and enable teachers to do their jobs with fewer interruptions. We shall have to see if the UK adopts a more Francophile approach in regard to where and when phone use is permitted in schools - but with the channel seeming to widen every day as we become politically ever more distant from Europe, the latest ringtones are unlikely to be banished from the classrooms anytime soon. 2 years ago0Add a Comment
