ChemE PPE - Is It Really As Difficult As You Think?

ChemE PPE - Is It Really As Difficult As You Think?Before I discovered the wonders of chemistry, I had no idea that it was a challenging course to take. When I read the various reviews I read how hard it was, but the reviews were also fantastic and made me realize that it is actually easier than people seem to think.One of the most common complaints I have received from people who want to take Chemistry PPE courses is that they are going to end up getting an average grade. When I took this course back in the day I was extremely disappointed, and not just because of the poor grades. When I looked at the graph, I found out that for every previous grade that I had received on that test the previous year I got an average grade.I think this is a great fact to keep in mind, because not only does it mean that the test will be easier, but also that your future employers will know that you have a background in Chemistry PPE. It is an incredibly challenging and interesting course to take. The real challenge though, is that if you go to school for something that is difficult, you are going to have to stay motivated all the time.The tests in Chemistry PPE are of such complexity that you have to constantly study. You also have to learn when to look up a specific piece of information or what a certain chemical means. They can be extremely difficult, especially in the first few weeks of school. There are many helpful books available, but if you are taking PPE courses, I would suggest that you avoid buying them.I learned so much through the course that I would be completely lost without the study guides. My study guide was so thorough that if I did not study, I would never get a B in that class. I was able to pass most of the test with a C, and I really owe my life to this course.One of the most common complaint that I hear from people who take Chemistry PPE courses is that it is so hard to follow. With this I would like to say that there is definitely something to this, becau se many students use these study guides to help them keep track of what they are studying and do not read it.In addition to this, if you are taking Chemistry PPE, make sure that you do not forget to refresh your skills. Try to keep yourself updated by keeping a note book or a log of everything that you learned.

One Students Opinion of Harvard University

One Student's Opinion of Harvard University Josef earned his bachelors degree in psychology from Harvard University. He specializes in psychology tutoring, Spanish tutoring, and a number of other subjects. Below, he shares his experience at Harvard University. Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Josef: The college campus setting was inspiringly picturesque, boldly embodying through its historic architecture Harvards timeless global role as the foundational brick-and-mortar exemplar of Western education. Because the college was founded within and built around the city of Cambridge, Harvards unique Ivy League campus boasts both urban and suburban components, as more rural regionsincluding but not limited to Concords Walden Pond, the National Historic Landmark popularized by the works of transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau, the most famous of which, Walden; or, Life in the Woods, was inspired during Thoreaus two year, two month, and two day stay in a waterside cabin contiguous to Walden Pond owned by none other than Thoreaus friend and mentor, fellow transcendentalist writer Ralph Waldo Emersonof the scenic state of Massachusetts lie within easy reach via either public or private transportation (i.e. Uber, Lyft, etc.). Not only do Bostons reliable T, as well as Cambridges extensive bus system and Harvards on-campus shuttle service, collectively provide ample opportunity for both on-campus and off-campus student travel, but Bostons Logan Airport also offers one of the most convenient, far-reaching national springboards for international travel, work, and study abroad opportunities, all of which are made excessively accessible to each and every undergraduate via the Office of Career Services, among multifarious other dedicated on-campus sites and services. Though there are buses, trains, and shuttles within walking distance of all dormitories, I personally found that owning a bike helped me get around campus more quickly, manage my time more effectively, and thus glean a more comprehensive Harvard experience, of which each and every prodigal Harvardian has his or her very own. One certain truth from firsthand experience living in the hallowed dorms: one needs neither a car nor even a bike to get around Harvards seamlessly-immersed quaint collegiate city-campus, as the greater Cambridge/Boston public transportation system is excellent and virtually every incredible resource available on-campus to undergraduates is easily accessible on foot. Finally, and most importantly, there was not a moment during my undergraduate career that I felt unsafe on campus; I always felt very safe. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Josef: Most of Harvards professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants are warmly and welcomingly available, some openly over-and-above the contractual call of duty of even an Ivy League educator, perhaps because Harvard educators all seem to love what they do very, very much. To that end, regularand necessarily not-so-regularoffice hours are hosted weekly by each of the aforementioned, with academic advisers often generously offering 1:1 sessions even more frequently than weekly! Professors open-door office hours provided some of the most intensely intellectual discussions that could possibly occur on campus, consequently fostering truly free academic discourse among Harvards intelligentsia not only within, but also outside of, the classroom. I was so greatly impacted by Harvard Universitys phenomenal faculty that, having graduated in 2014, I still keep in touch with many of my former professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants, and even plan to work with some of them in the foreseeable future. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Josef: Dorm life at Harvard University was nothing short of spectacular in virtually every manner imaginable, from freshman fall all the way through senior spring, of course including but not limited to Annenberg Hall, on which the Harry Potter film franchise magical dining hall was widely rumored to have been loosely based. As an Annenberg frequenter throughout much of my freshman year and having seen the Harry Potter movies myself, I can safely say firsthand that the rumors are actually not so far-fetched; the similarities between the real Harvard and fictional Harry Potter dining hall are indeed quite uncanny! And whether it was magic, innovation, or inspiration, there was certainly a palpable aura in the air around the dorms at the college. Living in the dorms, I always felt motivated to not only be doing, but also to be doing outside of my comfort zone, which is such a rare phenomenon to find that it sticks with one for life. In terms of the rooms, I was always comfortable and had more than enough space for all my stuff, which was admittedly a lot, as I hadnt yet learned the value of packing light upon moving into college. Dining options were outstanding, not only because of the delectably delicious array of buffet-style gourmet meal options, but also and perhaps even more importantly because of the dedicated dining hall staff serving the gourmet meals to us hungry Harvardians. Indeed all of the colleges dining hall liaisonsand especially those of the Quincy House dining hall staffwere nothing short of a second family to me in my four-year home-away-from-home at Harvard. Aside from all that open opportunity for on-campus and off-campus networking, the opportunities afforded to Harvard students for socialization with other Harvard students are unrivaled. After all, Harvard literally has its own active Facebook just for Harvard students, though it looks little like the actual Facebook social networking site. After all, Facebook was created by none other than Harvard drop-out Mark Zuckerbergit is not at all an uncommon on-campus occurrence for Harvardians to take time off and even drop out altogether for the sake of investing in time-sensitive passion projects that soon become internationally-ingrained institutions, as with Bill Gates Microsoftso it makes sense that Harvard would have its very own fully-functional version of the social media moguls fan-favorite Facebook operational on campus. In addition to an intra-Facebook shared amongst Harvardians, there are more multifarious activities and multitudinous opportunitiesincluding intramural sports, Harvard Student Agencies (HSA), Harvard Business Schools (HBSs) Innovation iLab, and a plethora of other university-subsidized socially-geared gatherings and extracurricular activitiesfor both student-to-student interaction and socialization alike than any one human being actually has the time or energy to execute in a single undergraduate collegiate career. Perhaps thats why so many college undergraduates return to Harvard years later to earn their graduate degrees. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Josef: The best represented majors/programsuniquely coined concentrations at the collegeare as follows: social sciences, biological sciences, general history, economics, mathematics, engineering, physical sciences, life sciences, neuroscience, and, last but not least, psychology. I studied psychology not only because it was and is the most universally applicable concentration that I could practically apply within virtually any and every profession that my entrepreneurial spirit would ever endeavor me to declare, but also because I could see a technological revolution in the form of artificial intelligence and virtual reality on the horizon, a cross-section of science and entertainment that I very much hope to explore extensively throughout my multifaceted professional career. Harvard provided the best hub for psychological and neuroscience studies that any undergraduate institution could have provided, and indeed served as the quintessential springboard to a life of committed learning about the most fascinating subject of all: the ever-evolving human condition. Thus, Harvard did not do a good job; Harvard did the best job supporting my particular concentration of psychology. And not only did the college do the best job supporting my primary psychological concentration, but Harvard also did a stellar job supporting my secondary concentration and lifetime passion of film studies via both academia and Harvardwood, which have collectively prepared me very well for a lucrative career as a Hollywood screenwriter and producer, should such a pathway open up to me at any point in the foreseeable future and synergistically align with my multifarious other ambitions. After all, Im a natural-born storyteller with a growing slew of stories to tell who believes wholehe artedly in the potential power of modern media as a global impetus for positive social change, once a proper cutting-edge contemporary equilibrium between objective and subjective media is established. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Josef: It was honestly difficult not to meet people and make friends as a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior. In fact, the best part(s) of my Harvard experience was/were the people: not only the huddled mass of hard-working Cambridge Harvardians emitting a tangible aura of inspiration and innovationa pall of contagious productivity, per sebut also each and every awe-inspiring person whose path my journey as an undergraduate fortuitously happened to cross. Every one of the inspirational individuals that I met at Harvard had a unique story to tell, which not only encouraged me to do better, but also to do more, and in doing more, to meet more people, and in meeting more people, to do more, and so on and so forth until senior spring. Not only did I find myself immersed in a productivity pall within Harvards hallowed halls, but I also found myself looped into a never-ending networking spiral, both of which influenced my ability to produce tangible, data-driven results in real-time during my time at the college. Upon graduation from the worlds most renowned learning institution, I quickly discovered that my four-year networking journey had effectively become fully habituated into a conditioned personal best practice, which allowed me to internalize one of the most important networking modus operandi of all: Its not what you know; its who you know. Greek life does play a significant role in the college campus social life, but, with that said, one certainly need not be affiliated with Greek life in order to reap the benefits of an infinitely fruitful networking career as a Harvard undergraduate. Many undergraduates and alumni alike do consistently claim, however, that the bonds formed among peers in Greek life and final clubs tend to be among the most cherished, beneficial, and long-lasting relationships forged during their four years. As an alumnus who remained virtually independent of the Greek and final club scene at Harvard, I can safely say firsthand that the relationships I formedboth personally and professionallyon that quaint Cambridge campus still are among the most cherished, beneficial, and long-lasting relationships extant in my life today. So whats the bottom line? Your Harvard experience is ultimately up to you, and as a rite of passage, do expect to meet at least a few awesome people during your unique, life-chang ing Harvard experience. How helpful are the Career Centerand other student support services? Josef: The Career Center and other student support services are incredibly helpful. No, seriously. I didnt realize myself prior to attending Harvard just how many resources the college offered, and upon graduation, I must say that I still dont really believe how many groundbreaking, world-shaping, and cutting-edge resources were openly available to me at such an incipient point in my academic career. Given that some people go a lifetime having rarely achieved or tragically never achieving the requisite resources for mere survival, I still find it unreal to this very day how much was available to me as a young Harvardian and how open to undergraduates Harvard was about the availability of its unbelievable stockpile of cutting-edge student resources. Not enough could even be said in an entire encyclopedia about the enormity of ever-growing resources available to Harvard undergraduate and graduate students alike, as well as the freedom afforded to such prodigal factotums to liberally experiment with said resources in order to customize their respective Harvard experiences and ultimately hone in on their prospective professional passions. Speaking of professional passions, as far as the question of whether or not many reputable companies recruit on campus, the simplest one-word answer to that question is: Yes! The more accurate, comprehensive, and objective answer to that poignantly-pragmatic question is: Yes, all of the most reputable companies recruit on Harvards campus. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Josef: Harvard boasts one of the largest libraries in the country in Widener Library, but one of my personal favorite study areas happened to be right next door to Widener in the Lamont Library Multimedia Lab. I spent many a sleepless night in the Lamont Library Multimedia Lab editing countless video projects on iMovie and Final Cut Pro while simultaneously working on other assignments and studying for upcoming exams. In addition to the larger libraries, each of the dozen or so undergraduate Harvard dormitories offers its own smaller study, of which I subjectively believe that Quincy Houses Qube Library happens to be the coziest study spot; but again, as a Quincy Penguin sophomore through senior year, I am, of course, a biased source. In addition to the open accessibility of all libraries to all undergraduates regardless of housing designation, each library was also surprisingly under-crowded whenever I needed it (except during midterms and finals weeks, at which point all collegiate libraries are typically packed), easily available on foot from any dormitory, and spacious enough to spread out and perhaps even take a power nap upon arrival. The great geographical component of the colleges campus, though, is that whenever one library or study area happens to be over-crowded, another study spot always lies right around the corner. And as far as outdoor study spots go, it doesnt get much better than studying riverside on a clear, sunny day with your fellow classmates and future world leaders on the Charles River. The Charles River is perhaps as spacious a college study space as collegiate study spaces come! Describe the surrounding town. Josef: As far as school location goes, I could absolutely not have asked for a better place to live, breathe, learn, love, and network than the colleges surrounding town of Cambridge, with its neighboring city of Boston serving as one of the most salient springboards for national and international travel that the continental United States has to offer. Due to the ready availability of the public and private transportation system surrounding the Harvard campus, most students go to the downtown area of Boston rather frequently. However, despite the readily available public and private transportation services within the greater Cambridge/Boston area, some students claim that there is simply too much to do within the Harvard bubble of Cambridge to ever even dream of venturing into Boston. Still others prefer the quieter urban pleasure of downtown Allston to the modern urban bustle of downtown Boston, or even the quaint allure of nearby suburban Newton to the rustic rural quintessence of close-by Concord. Though I certainly prefer having more to do closer to home, I cannot say that I was one of those students who never made it to Boston. Having visited Boston (as well as Allston, Concord, and Newton) fairly often, I can safely say that there is not only plenty for a college student to do in Cambridge, but also plenty for virtually any type of college student to do in downtown Boston to occupy all four yearsand indeed an entire lifetimeat Harvard, not to mention on the campuses of all the other fantastic undergraduate schools in the historic city of Boston, each of which offers an additional networking opportunity with the planets future leaders just in case networking at Harvard simply isnt enough for those precocious networkers who got started getting started early on. Remember, aspiring graduates: your network determines your net worth. In addition to networking in Cambridge and Boston, there are countless cafes, bakeries, shops, bars, restaurants, clubs, theaters, concert venues, and music halls for more casual or informal gatherings, while there are also much more elegant ballrooms, museums, art studios, suites, and culinary institutions for more formal engagements, professional interviews, investor presentations, and celebratory occasions, as well as virtually anything and everything else that any type of college student could possibly want to do in four years between both contiguous cities. One quite simply cannot go wrong going to school in Cambridge, especially with the beautiful city of Boston never more than mere minutes away from any given point on Harvards expansive campus. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Josef: Though the Harvard undergraduate student body is certainly largeover 6,600 students strong, excluding graduate studentsthe class sizes never felt very large at all. Even the most widely-taken freshman lecture(s) in Sanders Theatre and the most vastly-applicable courses taught in the Science Centers large lecture halls never exceeded a couple hundred students. Even to a student whose entire graduating high school class was about 200 students, a couple hundred students or less in a lecture courseand a freshman lecture course, at thatwas and still is relatively unheard of for an undergraduate class of over 6,600. As one progresses through ones own unique concentration track, the overall class sizes of each course become smaller and smaller while the course subject matter itself becomes more and more specific to ones own academic pursuits. Throughout the entirety of anyones undergraduate career at Harvard, however, everyone gets the opportunity to attend section meetings, in which the material from the lectures are reinforced and discussed within smaller classrooms, often in a roundtable-like conversational style not unlike that implemented in Camelot during the days of the Knights of the Round Table, althoughunlike the actual Round Table of Camelotthe tables in section meetings are frequently rectangular. I know that I was personally pleased with the class sizes, especially those of my more advanced psychological, psychopharmacological, and evolutionary psychology courses, which lent themselves toward freer classroom discussion, even in lecture! Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Josef: Though certainly not my most memorable moment at Harvard, one memorable experience that I had early on during my undergraduate career with a Harvard professor and a particular class involved world-renowned author, cognitive scientist, psychologist, and educator Steven Pinker teaching his college fan-favorite introductory psychology course: Science of Living Systems (SLS 20). I dont remember whether it was a Tuesday or Thursday lecture, but I do remember distinctly what and where I ate beforehand. I had gone to the Chipotleonly one option out of three or four competing Cambridge taquerasin the Square to grab a pre-lecture burrito: a true hand-crafted carnitas bombshell with white rice, pinto beans, mild salsa, corn, cheese, lettuce, a touch of sour cream, and a dab of guacamole. With more than enough time to spare, I sat down outside to eat a few nourishing bites before lecture and, of course, to casually people-watch in the Square: an undoubtedly timeless classical pastime of both many a Harvardian before me and many a Harvardian after me. Looking down from the microcosmic Boston bustle presented before me in the quaint form of cozy Cambridge to my brown Chipotle bag in anticipation of packing up to leave for lecture, I happened to notice the writing on the bag itself prior to wrapping up my burrito and placing it inside. The writing happened to be a quote from none other than Steven Pinker, the very same professor for whose SLS 20 lecture I was packing to depart: We will never have a perfect world, but its not romantic or nave to work toward a better one. I didnt quite know how to verbalize it yet, but Professor Pinkers quote resonated so deeply with me that, from that memorable moment on forward, I had become an impassioned observer and lifelong learner of the human condition. Furthermore, it was in that very next SLS 20 lecture taught by none other than Harvards very own Professor Pinker himself just as he had done so many times before in so many years prior that I first seriously considered studying psychologya cognitive social sciencerather than engineeringan applied physical scienceduring my time at Harvard. Steven Pinkers SLS 20 course was, in fact, the incipient reason that I chose to concentrate in psychology, though I only continued to be thoroughly impressed thereafter by all the dedicated faculty members with whom my undergraduate academic path ultimately ended up intertwining, as well as by the aforementioned enormity of cutting-edge resources available to undergraduates in regards to the cognitive sciences and psychological studies, including but certainly not limited to the latest functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology and the entire Harvard Decision Science Laboratory, should the appropriate initiative be taken by the student .

A Fraud and A Scam Do you Know The Difference

A Fraud and A Scam Do you Know The Difference I like it when my students ask me questions that make me think.

Aprender Inglês 3 razões fundamentais

Aprender Inglês 3 razões fundamentais Phaitoon / FreeDigitalPhotos.netAs três áreas que fazem com que a língua inglesa seja tão essencial são, no fundo, as razões fundamentais para aprender Inglês. Quando falamos de estudos, viagens ou negócios, o Inglês está sempre presente. Afinal, é a língua internacional usada para que pessoas de diferentes cantos do mundo possam comunicar de maneira eficaz.EstudosCom o aumento do poder aquisitivo no Brasil, mais pessoas têm tido a possibilidade de seguir os seus estudos em outros países. Seja uma graduação, uma pós, mestrado ou doutorado, cada vez mais pessoas têm saído do país para estudar e, em simultâneo, ter a experiência de viver no exterior. Obviamente que muitas pessoas não fazem intercâmbio para países onde o idioma oficial seja o Inglês. No entanto, tendo em consideração que o Inglês é quase sempre a segunda língua de escolha, ter proficiência nesse idioma acaba por ser fundamental. Especialmente se a ideia é seguir uma via de estudos mais c ientífica, onde os artigos e pesquisas são preferencialmente escritos e publicados em Inglês, para melhor divulgação na comunidade internacional.ViagensTendo em consideração que o Inglês, por norma, é a segunda língua de opção, não é difícil entender que há uma maior probabilidade de encontrar alguém que fale Inglês, do que alguém que fale Português a não ser que a viagem seja para um país lusófono. Isto acontece porque o Inglês é um idioma internacional, escolhido para facilitar a comunicação de pessoas que não falam a mesma língua. Nesse sentido, o Inglês acaba por ser um ferramenta bastante útil, que funciona como agente mediador, quando existe um impasse, como por exemplo um turista brasileiro estar na Alemanha ou no Japão e não saber falar o idioma do país onde está. Sabendo Inglês, esta pessoa conseguirá comunicar.NegóciosHoje em dia, saber Inglês não é apenas um diferencial. Na verdade, dominar o idioma passou a ser necessário, já q ue o Brasil é um dos poucos países em expansão no decorrer da crise mundial que vivemos e depende do comércio com o exterior para se desenvolver. Claro que o domínio de outras línguas, como o Espanhol ou o Francês, é uma mais valia interessante. Contudo, não há como fugir, em termos de comunicação internacional no mundo dos negócios, é o Inglês que domina.

How to Get Along With Coworkers of Older Generations

How to Get Along With Coworkers of Older Generations Image via freestockphotos.biz However, getting along with older coworkers as a young person doesn’t have to be a struggle. In fact, you’ll probably find that you have more in common with them than you think. 1. Find universal subjects. You may find it difficult to find anything in common with your coworkers of older generations. However, it may just be that you’ve forgotten how exactly to find things in common with someone. Now, when you meet someone young, it’s probably easy to talk about the latest hit on Netflix or the news updates on celebrities, but these topics don’t always resonate with older crowds. Remember, commonality exists all around you. Perhaps a local team is doing really well in their sport or a new company has just moved to town. You could chat about new restaurants that are opening. If you get really desperate, you can always start off with the weather and work towards something else. Of course, talking is just the first step to improving your relationship with anyone which is essential to getting to know your coworkers. 2. Show them something new. They may be older than you, but don’t let that convince you that you don’t have a whole wealth of knowledge that they don’t. If you’re kind about it, they’ll be happy to learn any new thing that you have to show them. If you overhear them talking about a computer problem, you might already know how to create an easy fix for it. Perhaps they’re sick of their standard eating out routine and you could suggest a great new dining spot downtown that they haven’t heard of yet. Being more connected as a young person gives you access to new products all the time. If you keep your eyes and ears open, you may just be able to find something that could work really well for them. 3. Ask them something. You have a wealth of knowledge that they don’t, but bear in mind that they do too. They’ve lived through stories equally interesting to your own. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions about themselves, even really basic questions about where they grew up, where they went to school, their partner, their children, etc. If you show genuine interest in their life, they’re going to feel much happier working with someone who cares about them and hasn’t dismissed them as irrelevant. You may find some surprising similarities even. Maybe you grew up close to each other or went to the same vacation spot. This will create a whole slew of stories and facts to grow closer to one another as coworkers and maybe even as friends. 4. Keep an open mind. If you’re young, especially if you’re fresh out of college, you’re used to being around other young people with similar opinions to your own. Now, this doesn’t mean you can’t care deeply about those opinions, but you will have to recognize that the working world is full of people with opinions completely different than yours. The differences in opinions by no means make one right and the other wrong. You may have to learn to respectfully disagree with someone. A great thing to do is to simply ask questions about an opinion they have. Don’t listen to judge and refute, listen to try and understand the other side. They may have a whole history that has led them to think this way. Learning about others different than you is a great tool to help you respect and work well with anyone, regardless of age and background. stocksnap.io 5. Be patient. All in all, don’t expect to become fast friends overnight. People in older generations likely have a set group of family and friends that they’ve known and cared about for ages. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t be great coworkers. Just because they aren’t dying to hang out all the time, doesn’t mean they don’t like you or appreciate the work you do. Relationships can be slow to grow and develop over time, but don’t fret over becoming best friends with everyone. Take every opinion and personality with an attitude of respect and kindness and you’ll be sure to get along great. As humans, we all crave some sort of connection. As coworkers, having great working connections is necessary to having a happy and successful professional life. With a proper outlook on building great relationships in the workplace, anyone can transcend boundaries of age.

5 Cheap Eats to Order for Delivery

5 Cheap Eats to Order for Delivery Image via Pexels.com Pizza is one of the most common food delivery options, especially among college students. A 2014 USDA study revealed that college-aged people have the highest reported percentages of pizza consumption in America. Pizza pies are perfect for any college activity, from binge-watching to partying to studying. They’re easy to order, vegetarian-friendly, and come in reasonable portions for low prices. Plus, pizza shops are often found near any college campus, resulting in faster delivery times. You also have options when it comes to where you buy your pizza from. Chain restaurants like Dominos or Pizza Hut have longer delivery hours, allowing you to conquer your late-night pizza cravings. But, there are also mom-and-pop pizzerias to give you that classic Italian cheesy goodness. “I prefer smaller pizza shops because the pizza is usually better, but chain restaurants are more convenient for deals and delivery times. Personally, my favorite chain restaurant is Dominos because they always have a great coupon for large pizzas,” said Albright College senior Tristan Ellis. 2. Sandwiches This is a broad category, but that’s not a bad thing! Whether they’re hot or cold, filled with veggies or lunchmeat, sandwiches are found on most restaurant menus. They’re also easily customizable, so you don’t have to pick off anything you don’t like when it gets delivered. In some restaurants, toppings don’t cost any extra or cost very little so you can add as much as you want to make your perfect sandwich. You can get as picky as you want. Sandwiches are also usually pretty filling, so if they’re big enough you can always save half of it for later. Image via Pexels.com 3. Chicken Chicken is a popular take-out dish because it comes in so many forms. You can have your chicken breaded and fried, or grilled as a healthier alternative. There are chicken patties, chicken tenders, chicken fingers, popcorn chicken, chicken fries, chicken wings, chicken nuggets… You can even have chicken shaped like dinosaurs. 30 percent of all 50 states in America prefer to order chicken for delivery, according to a 2016 survey conducted by Eater. Because chicken is so affordable and versatile, you can find it on most restaurant menus, whether it’s served on its own or incorporated into another dish. 4. Chinese food Any dish from a Chinese food restaurant is a good choice for delivery. According to Woman’s Day, some popular Chinese meals, like beef and pea pods with black bean sauce, are more expensive to make at home than to order. There are several ingredients, most of which tend to be pricey and hard to find. Your best bet is to have the meal pre-made. The Eater survey found that Asian food is the top choice for delivery in 13 states. In fact, Chinese food delivery dates back to the 1920s. Chinese food containers used to be called oyster pails, carrying any dish you can imagine. “The cartons of folded cardboard, coated on the inside, with the wire handles, veritable icons of economy, ingenuity, and simplicity, can hold everything from mu shu pork to wonton soup, retaining the dish’s heat while releasing steam,” said a New York Times article in 1997. The best part about Chinese food is the quantity you get for such low prices. “It’s cheap, so you can get a lot of food and have enough leftovers for the next couple of days,” said Kaitlyn Kirkpatrick, a senior at Albright College. 5. Tacos Image via Pexels.com GrubHub and DoorDash are incredibly useful for delivering your favorite Mexican food to your doorstep. Tacos make excellent comfort food, and now you don’t have to put any effort into getting them. Alternatively, burritos are great for delivery as well, and like Chinese food, these dishes are cheaper to order rather than to make yourself. The Taco Bell Tex-Mex lovers out there are in luck. Taco Bell now partners with DoorDash to deliver the ever-cheap, ever-tasty food to customers. Right now, the delivery service is only in a few areas. Are you one of the lucky ones? Have you decided which of these cheap eats you’re going to order for dinner? Now, here are 50 things to do while you wait for your food to be delivered.

What options does a student have after GCSE`s - Tutor Hunt Blog

What options does a student have after GCSE`s What options does a student have after GCSE`s What options does a student have after GCSE`sSecondary SchoolsIn many ways GCSE`s mark a frontier in in an adolescent`s life. Discounting the possibility of any earlier, precociously acquired accolades, the marks achieved in these exams will probably be the first academic qualifications that could potentially appear on their CV. In many students` minds their GCSE grades will be the first results that really matter. They will have taken many tests before, indeed they will have been regularly graded and assessed for most of their time at school - but by the time of their GCSE`s they will be mature enough to know just how important these exams are. The transition from GCSE to 6th form means the beginning of specialisation, a reduction of the number of subjects being studied. Most students will take 9 subjects for GCSE, but after this the academic range will narrow. Three subjects are the norm for a post GCSE student - their strengths and weaknesses will have been established, and they may well have an idea as to what they would like to study at university. Even though A-levels may be seen the expected route to take after GCSE`s, there are a number of alternatives that may be more suitable. The three main options, apart from entering the workplace directly of course, are NVQs, BTECs, and traineeships. NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualifications, and they are work based certificates, which means they are specifically designed to help students gain `competency` in the workplace. One key feature of this qualification is that they do not have to be completed within a specific time frame. Because of this accommodating feature many students work on completing their NVQs while undertaking a part time job or a work placement. Many employers look favourably upon students undertaking NVQ`s, as it shows commitment and dedication to their chosen career. BTEC stand for a `Business and Technology Education Council` qualification - they were introduced to the UK back in the 1930`s, and continue to be very popular. It is largely a coursework based assessment, and because of this many universities stipulate that students must also posses at least a single A-Level to gain admittance. From 2016 the proportion of coursework in the BTEC course has reduced, and exams now account for a larger proportion of the final grade. Like NVQ`s, BTEC`s are designed to be specialist work-related qualifications - and as such they specifically cater to a whole range of different sectors, such as engineering, business, and ICT. The courses are available at a number of different levels - ranging from the Entry Level Skills for Working Life, through to professional qualifications of Level 7, which is actually equivalent to postgraduate study. Because BTEC`s are tailored to the workplace, and correspond to the myriad of different professions, there are an astonishing number of unique courses - well over 2000 different BTECs, each catering to a different workplace skill. Another post GCSE option is a traineeship. These are short courses which include work experience, and are designed to get a student ready for work or an apprenticeship. They last up to 6 months, and are primarily aimed at those who are qualified below Level 3, aged 16 to 24, along with those who are unemployed and have little or no work experience. Most students who have chosen to continue studying into sixth form will already have decided upon the course they want to take. It can daunting indeed to be faced with such important choices as such a young age. I have often thought that it`s rather unfair that adolescents, barely into their teenage years, are compelled to make these life defining decisions. Looking back on my own career, I can see now how it was profoundly shaped and defined by the subjects I chose to study in my mid to late teens. Career advisors can certainly help - and of course the options available to the student will be constrained by their academic abilities. Ultimately though it will be up to the student which path they choose. 18 months ago0Add a Comment

How Virtual Reality Chemistry Could Impact Your EducationVirtual Reality Chemistry is currently one of the most popular science learning tools. There is a very simple explanation as to why people are so interested in it. In order to be successful in the field of chemistry, one must not only be good at reading, writing, and arithmetic but also have the ability to interpret what they have learned.It is not hard to imagine how Virtual Reality Chemistry might impact our lives. Although it was originally developed for computer games, the potential uses of the tool is much greater than what is possible with computer games.In Virtual Reality Chemistry, everything is real and things like substances will react in a totally different way than it would with a real substance. Think about an organic chemistry equation. If you were to try to read it, you would discover it is a very difficult task, you would be forced to rely on a person to help you. With a Virtual Reality Chemistry, everything is going to be laid out for you on a screen in front of you.One could look at a single molecule and determine its properties and reactions. It would be much easier for someone to understand and follow what is going on when they are looking at one. They would be able to visualize the reactions happening and how they would relate to the user. Now the possibility of getting information out of the exact variables can be much easier.In addition to the obvious benefit of getting information out of the variables, it is also important to learn more about the reaction of one's theory with the actual outcome. The Virtual Reality Chemistry is going to provide you with a classroom environment to learn a little more about the substance. Imagine, all you would have to do is use your 'brain' to understand something.Another advantage of Virtual Reality Chemistry is the fact that it is based on fact, not fantasy. No one is going to believe what you think, even if you are correct. Instead, you would onl y see reality when it happens to you, with all the excitement and adrenaline that come with it. You will be surprised at how interested people will be in learning more about the subject.What a lot of people are finding about Virtual Reality Chemistry is that it is a very beneficial learning tool. It is something that could change the way education works. In the future, we could learn more about the reactions of one substance, not based on fancy drawings and charts but instead based on something real, on the types of substances. To put it another way, the possibilities are endless.
