Chemistry Chapter 2-Assessment Answers

Chemistry Chapter 2-Assessment AnswersOne of the most useful questions asked at a PGCE Chemistry Chapter 2 Assessment is 'What's the answer?' The answers for most of the questions may not come immediately, but they are available. For example, a common question asked at the Chemistry Assessment centre is 'What was the final answer?'The answer is usually referred to as the 'final grade', but it can be an overall grade too. There will also be a 'grade' that are given based on all the topics examined, and that is often 'examined', rather than 'highlighted'.The difference is that, at the end of the Exam, you'll have your grade, as well as some details about the work you did during the exam. You'll also have a report that explains the results of your exam, which you will use to apply to your GCSE examinations. You'll also be given a 'letter grade' that represents the points you scored.The Science Quiz Shows Where Your Grade Will Appear. Normally, the question is 'What was the final answer to the Chemistry Assessment? ', and your answer is written as a question, followed by the answer.Many people will usually write their 'final grade' as 'A', though other more common answers are a 'B' or a 'C'. Your marks will appear, based on the topics studied, and the time you spent studying the topic.Your marks may vary depending on the results of your exam, and on the final grades given by the exams examiner. If you've done particularly well, you could receive a slightly higher grade than usual.If you've done exceptionally well, your final grades could be higher than a 'C', or even higher than a 'B'. While the final grade will only be referred to if you receive a 'B'C', it is likely that your mark will include your name, as well as a reference to your study time.

Happy Labor Day to all Tutors and Students!

Happy Labor Day to all Tutors and Students! Labor Day, observed today, on the first Monday of September, is a special holiday that marks the end of summer and is meant for paying tribute to working men and women for their economic and social contributions. The holiday originated in September 1882 when the Central Labor Union of New York City decided to create a day off work for the working citizens. In 1894 it became a federal holiday. Labor Day was initially celebrated with a street parade, which was demonstrating the strength of the trade and labor organizations, and was followed by a festival. In later years, speeches by prominent men and women were also introduced to place more emphasis on the civil significance of the holiday. Today this holiday in the U.S. is much less laborious than it was in the 19th century and it has evolved to become just a quiet day off for most Americans. However, it is still not just a day for festivals, beaches, barbecues, fireworks and parties. It is also a day to reach out to those who make our everyday life easier factory workers and farmers, bus drivers and nurses, carpenters and doctors, and of course to teachers who carry out a hard duty of training the young minds. According to the famous saying by Sophocles, an ancient Greek tragic dramatist: “There is no success without hardship.” We wish all tutors and students to get deserved reward and satisfaction for their persistent work both on disseminating and gaining knowledge. Work and study with all your heart and enjoy the fruits of your mental and manual labor. Time to say goodbye to summer and to wish everyone an Amazing Labor Day! Sincerely, The Tutorz.com Team Email: contact@tutorz.com Phone: (805) 288-7338

3 Student Loan Resolutions to Make in 2018

3 Student Loan Resolutions to Make in 2018 Pixabay It comes as no surprise that one of the top ten resolutions for almost every new year is to get out of debt. This is actually one of my personal goals for the year. Even though I worked four jobs at the same time while in college, I still had to take out student loans each semester. On top of undergraduate studies, I took out even more financial aid loans for graduate school. While the education is most certainly worth the cost, we would all likely agree that we could well do without the debt that comes with it. While there is no get out of debt scheme that you can tap into to get out of student loan debt (or any other form of debt for that matter), there are some active steps you can take and resolutions you can consider making in order to manage your finances and pay down and eventually pay off your student loans. Of course, it might feel discouraging at certain periods while you’re going through the debt payment process, but it doesn’t have to stress you out. Consider making these three resolutions for your  student loans  this year: 1. Calculate your payoff timeframe and create a plan. This is probably the most obvious first step. Before you can actually get to work on doing something or completing something, including paying off those massive student loans, you must know the full amount and then follow up your findings with a plan. Taking some time to calculate the month and/or the year when you are most likely to have paid off your student loan debt can be a major motivating factor in taking the necessary steps to get there. Financial advisors and loan terminology typically talk in 10-year or 15-year terms. This kind of verbiage can be abstract and frustrating. It is more difficult to hold on to than say December 2028. Additionally, if you are still in school, you can figure this out to begin at a later date. If you are done with school and just started work, you can also give yourself some room to make a little money before starting to pay your student loans down. Once you know the month and/or the year that you will be completely finished paying your student loans, create a reasonable payment plan. Unless you know you can absolutely do it, avoid putting lump sum amounts on the plan you create. You can choose to pay a certain amount by the end of each year, or by the end of every 6-months, or by the end of each month. Monthly goals can also be a good motivating factor to keep going. For example, $10,000 by the end of a single year might be reasonable for you. Pixabay 2. Set your savings to automatic. Yes, automation is one of the most important things you can do for a lot of your life. No, it does not prevent you from thinking about your life. Instead, it frees you up to think about the things that matter the most. You should think about some things, but savings should not really be one of them. Saving money has been a decades-old proven method to ensure financial security over the long haul. For large numbers of people, an emergency fund of $300 to $700 isn’t possible. But saving a little bit in consecutive increments can add up over time. With my bank account, there is a feature built into it that automatically rounds up to the next dollar when I use my debit card. The figure that is rounded up automatically gets transferred to my savings account. Additionally, I have set my checking account to automatically transfer a certain amount each month on a specific day to my savings account. Over the course of a year, the amount in savings builds up to a significantly encouraging amount. Putting money in savings does not take money out of your pocket, it adds money to your pocket over time. 3. Make all of the money you can stand to make. Starting out, it could be likely that you are working as hard as you can at your full-time job, but the salary just doesn’t cut it even for the most modest people. In that case, if you are not up for a promotion or for a raise, consider taking on more work. It’s called a “side hustle,” and there are plenty of opportunities online and otherwise to grab. These can be amazing ways to earn extra cash while being flexible and keeping your full-time job. If you are a hard worker, you can work several of these side hustles into your current schedule. For example, if you work at your full-time job for 10 hours a day, consider spending 2-3 hours tutoring in a subject you are passionate about. Or, consider becoming an Uber driver or a Lyft driver and put in a couple of hours after work or a full day on weekends. The harder and smarter you work, the more money you will make, and the sooner you can pay off your student loan debts. These are just three of the primary resolutions you can consider making to improve your financial state over the next year or even over the next five years. The longer you do something good, the easier it becomes and the more results you will get. Even if it is just one resolution, you will be better off over the long term in reaching your financial goals.

E-Teachers Conference on Communities and Crowdsourcing Our Quick Review

E-Teachers Conference on Communities and Crowdsourcing Our Quick Review Last night, we got the opportunity to present at the E-Teachers Academy Conference on Communities and the Power of Crowdsourcing, hosted by Kirsten Winkler (@KirstenWinkler). Were always impressed with how Kirsten is able to organize these conferences with so many of the key players in our space. There were presentations from Languages Out There, Busuu, Wiziq and us. Kirsten has written a more detailed review of the conference, and the presentations are all embedded on her blog. If youre interested in the specific comments, you should definitely take a look. Overall, we thought the attendees were positive on the value of communities for language learning, but much more skeptical about the potential in crowdsourcing. The sense was that people could rely on help from other members in a community, provided the community was well run and focused. However, the product of collaborative work from the community was generally lacking in creativity and often of very poor quality. At italki, we have tried crowdsourcing in many areas of our site, and we are well aware of the difficulties in crowdsourcing. As we mentioned in our presentation, you dont always get the perfect answer when you want it. However, we are definiely positive on its long-term potential. We have just updated our community-based site translation feature, for example. In addition, we do think it is possible to collaboratively create language learning materials, particularly if the license for the content is under the Creative Commons. Our inspiration here remains Wikipedia. We agree that art and literature designed by committee sounds awful. However, we think it is too pessimistic to say that basic materials for language learning can not be created collaboratively. It seems to run contrary to experience of impressive resources being released for other academic subjects (see MIT Open Courseware, and Connexions). It was an interesting conference, and the discussion gave us a lot to think about. We want to give special thanks to Kirsten again for organizing it, as well as Wiziq for hosting the event with their virtual classroom. We’re definitely looking forward to the next one!

Most artists and painters will have drawn a beach at some point in their career. Before you draw a beach, just sit down and look at it. (Source: Pexels)So where can you start?The most important thing when drawing a beach, or any other landscape for that matter, is to take the time to observe it. This can be the most enjoyable part of the process. Be it in front of a real beach or just a reference photo, take the time to enjoy the details of the landscape.The more you do this, the more you’ll identify within in the image and the more realistic your subsequent sketch will be. You may notice a small rock, an animal, the waves, whatever, so don’t hesitate to draw them to bring your drawing life.Taking the time to observe your subject matter is essential when learning to draw. This will help your brain to transcribe what it sees into marks on a page with your hand. Your hand is a tool for drawing, just like a pencil or brush. Real art happens in your brain which is why you need to focus on what you’re drawing.By looking at your landscape, you’ll start to notic e details that you missed on your first glance. This is why you need to take your time and practise drawing.What Techniques Should You Use to Draw a Beach?With pastels, charcoal, Indian ink, markers, coloured pencils, etc., you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing what to create art with. You need to develop an affinity with your materials. The artist needs to feel at ease with their chosen medium. It's always a good idea to start with a sketch. (Source: MustangJoe)If you always use charcoal, don’t try to change things up when you first start. After that, with a bit of practice, you can try other materials like gouache or watercolours.For beginners, you might want to start with pencils. It’s practical but constraining. Don’t worry about making large marks on the paper. Just don’t press down too hard.To colour your drawing, watercolours are often used by travellers as they’re small and light. With watercolours, you want to start with the lighter shades and darken until you get the desired colour. It’s quite forgiving as a medium, too, so if you make mistakes you can correct them quite easily.Of course, you can always use another medium to make your picture of a beach. The goal is to enjoy yourself, after all. Oil painting, for example, takes a lot more equipment and wouldn’t be very practical for taking to a beach.

In the case of a beach, start by separated the sea, sand, and sky. Think about adding the larger elements to the drawing. These might be rocks, the edge of the beach, or a boat, for example. Preparation is key when it comes to drawing. (Source: kordi_vahle)Start with a sketch. You can use your sketch to plan out the important lines for your final drawing. To do a good sketch, don’t hesitate to make lots of marks and don’t worry about making mistakes. This is what the sketch is for. Don’t worry too much about having to rub out a lot of your work, too. The mistakes are all part of the process.Once you have your sketch, you can then move onto to going back over the important marks. This is known as inking and it’s a very important part of the process in comic books and illustration, for example.You can go other the important lines with a pen, Indian ink, or another medium. This will make things clearer. Once you’ve gone back over the lines you want to keep, you can use a rubber to erase the lines you made with a pencil.To get the most out of your drawing, you need to work on the lighting and shadows. You can contrast the light and dark areas by cross-hatching, sha ding, or using colour.You don’t have to use colours, though. You can always leave your drawing as a sketch or simply ink it.That said, if you’re doing a sunrise or sunset, you might need colour to convey it. Reds and yellows contrast beautifully against the blue of the sea. That said, the colours don’t need to be accurate to real-life but rather need to convey the feeling of the scene.Try drawing houses.Tutorials for Drawing a BeachDrawing is an activity for all the senses, not just the eyes. Some artists can draw by feeling and don’t need to observe as much as others when drawing landscapes like a beach. Beginners, however, may enjoy following the steps before they feel comfortable letting go.This is where tutorials can be useful. Today, there are plenty of drawing tutorials to guide you through the steps, especially on YouTube. You can watch a video while learning to draw. Similarly, Instagram and Pinterest are useful for finding artists for inspiration.A quick search for “beach”, “sea”, and “drawing” will help you find what you’re looking for. Some users speed up the process so you can quickly see what you need to do. In other cases, they’ll highlight important steps and break them down for you.These social networks are also useful for finding pictures that other artists have done. You can use them as a reference, try to reproduce them, or copy elements from them that you like.As you’ll have probably understood, the internet is a great resource for finding inspiration as an artist.Learn how to draw gardens and parks.Teaching Yourself to Draw a BeachIt’s quite common for artists to teach themselves. Drawing can be quite a solitary pursuit and takes very little equipment and a lot of imagination. This means that it’s quite easy to teach yourself certain techniques. If you're struggling to teach yourself how to draw a beach, you can always get in touch with a private tutor. (Source: michasager)Of course, you need to be rigorous if you want to make any real progress. Professional artists and illustrators will practise drawing no less than 10 or 15 minutes every day just to stay sharp. This is a habit you might want to pick up. Drawing regularly will help you train your eyes. Even if it’s just a bit of colouring, this can help you develop a sense of colour theory.You can also work on various techniques throughout the week: colouring, sketching, observation, etc.Why not put together a training routine?You might want to practise drawing animals, too, as you may see a few of them on the beach.You could even organise sessions with your kids if you’re sick of drawing dinosaurs, Tinker Bell, or Snow White. Thus, you can learn to draw and spend some rewarding time with your children.Find out how to draw mountains.Getting Lessons to Learn How to Draw BeachesPrivate tutorials, art courses, workshops, etc. There are plenty of different ways to learn how to draw and the basics of drawing like perspective, light and shadow, proportion, still life, or life drawing. When it comes to drawing lessons, you can get a teacher to help you draw your beaches.Art courses in the field are great for learning how to draw landscapes and nature. In addition to enjoying the sea air, you can also see all the details in the flesh.So how do you draw people, the human body, basic shapes, vegetation, or animals?Drawing courses can help you draw a beach as well as anything else you can imagine.Another advantage is that the teacher will provide the materials in many cases. This means you don’t have to spend a small fortune investing in art supplies. Learning to draw needs to be enjoyable, first and foremost!
