Should I Go To University of Minnesota

Should I Go To University of Minnesota The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Erik received his Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics and his Master of Science from University of Minnesota. He is currently a tutor in Minneapolis specializing in Algebra tutoring, Calculus tutoring, Mechanical Engineering tutoring, and several other subjects. See what he had to say about his experience at University of Minnesota: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Erik: University of Minnesota has one of the biggest student bodies in the country, so there are people of all different backgrounds, as well as student groups for just about everything. There are two campuses. They are linked by a commuter bus which runs frequently and is free for students. The university is situated across the river from downtown Minneapolis, but it is large enough to be more like a small city itself. Almost everyone that you encounter during the day is affiliated with the university somehow. Most students walk or bike to class, but those living on or near the St. Paul campus also take the commuter bus to class. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Erik:The professors at University of Minnesota are very willing to talk with you if you have questions or comments about the course. In every course I have taken, the professor has encouraged me to visit him or her during office hours. In addition, an academic adviser is assigned to every student to help students plan their academic career. Teaching assistants are highly qualified and knowledgeable graduate students whose job it is to help students understand the course material. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Erik:Dormlife is a good chance to get to know other students. Many lasting friendships are made in the dorms, and each dorm organizes activities to help students meet each other. A meal plan is also available. For my dorm, the meals were buffet-style with no limit on quantity. Students can also opt to eat out. The facilities for cooking may be limited depending on which dorm the student lives in. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Erik:University of Minnesota is a huge school, so almost every possible area of study has a major. The school is highly ranked in Psychology and Chemical Engineering. I chose to study Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics because I have always liked math and science, and there are great research opportunities at the university. As an undergraduate, I had access to computer labs, a wind tunnel, and other lab facilities, and I always felt like the professors were there to help me when I had problems. If the student is proactive and motivated, there are a great number of resources to take advantage of, from student groups, to seminars, to public speaking and networking events. VT: 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? Erik:A lot of students struggle when faced with the prospect of making new friends. Fortunately, whether you are very outgoing or not, there are people with the same interests as you at University of Minnesota. That is why it is great to take advantage of all the clubs and activities organized by the school. I struggled with meeting people my first year until I studied abroad in Hong Kong, where I was forced to talk to others and ended up forming great friendships. I did not participate in Greek life, but there are several fraternities and sororities if you choose to go Greek. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Erik:The Career Center has resources like mock interviews, career counselors, and online portals where employers can find your resume and reach out to you. There are also classes (like Careers in Engineering) that teach you what jobs are out there and how to position yourself to succeed coming out of school. There are career fairs in the fall and spring where recruiters from reputable companies come and talk with students of all ages. Many students get interviews through these events that later lead to internships or full-time employment. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Erik:The libraries range from small libraries in specific departments to large buildings that service all the students in a given college. The libraries are usually full of students who are working, and they have cafes or convenience stores attached. Most libraries are open late (until 10:00 p.m. or midnight, with some specific computer labs staying open 24 hours a day). The libraries are never so crowded that you cannot find a seat or computer. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Erik:Minneapolis is a big arts and culture city. There are a lot of festivals, concerts, and public events that are free and sponsored by the city. It has an exceptional number of diverse and highly-acclaimed restaurants, due in part to the large Somali and Southeast Asian populations. As a student, I would frequently take the bus downtown or walk to the West Bank for concerts or to eat at a new restaurant. The location of the campus makes going downtown easy, but there are still plenty of activities on campus if you choose to stay closer. The majority of students stay on campus, but almost everyone goes out once in a while. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Erik:The student body is 50,000+ (including graduate students). Class sizes range from 30-100 students, and they are usually on the larger end in your freshman and sophomore years. I never had an issue with the class sizes because the professors always stop to ask questions, and they are available after class or in office hours. In addition to the larger lectures, there are smaller discussion sections. During these discussion sections, a teaching assistant goes over the material and can answer your questions. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Erik:I remember working on my first engineering group project for the class Aerospace Structures. We worked on a design that was to be submitted just before Spring Break. It was such a learning experience to rely on each other, rather than the professor or a TA, to solve our problems. We met in the library and stayed late, trying to finish before the deadline. These late nights are the most memorable nights of schoolwork that I had, and they were where I learned how to work with others. Check out Eriks tutoring profile.

How to say THANK YOU in English - Different Ways to say THANK YOU

How to say THANK YOU in English - Different Ways to say THANK YOU We were all taught (usually by our parents) to say please and thank you when we wanted something (please) and when we received something (thank you). I still think a simple thank you is so important whenever anyone does something for us or offers us something. So lets learn how to say THANK YOU in English correctly. It does not cost any time to reply with a simple thank you. Watch how people react they nearly always smile.There are many forms to say thank you in English. A simple quick thanks is quite informal and very acceptable. How to Say Thank You in English THANK YOU SO MUCH  or THANK YOU VERY MUCH are not only more formal but also express a deeper appreciation.The other day a man kindly helped me when I has a spot (a little) of difficulty with my car. He would not take any payment so I offered my sincere thanks with a very warm “thank you so much” as I really meant it.THANKS A LOT has a similar meaning but is more informal and used quite commonly today. It is no less meaningful because we use the informal form so do not be afraid to express yourself in such a way.Other forms of Thank you are used depending on which country you are in. In England and Ireland you will often hear THANK GOD but its more said in a form of gratitude that everything has worked out ok rather than an expression of appreciation.For example: The weather was really bad and lots of ice lay on the road. When I got home safely my Mother said “thank God you are home safely”.It is also used as follows: Thanks be to God. It has an identical meaning. Be careful n ot to confuse them both. I often hear students say Thanks God but this is incorrect.Other options how to say Thank You in English include such expressions as:  THANKS A MILL/MILLION (Irish English)  andTHANKS A BUNCHThese very popular English expressions are informal and are used in everyday situations.It can also be said with a hint of sarcasm or irony. Usually when someone means the opposite. Perhaps, you did not really help the person or your help did not assist in any way for example:Me: Hi. Gary could you give me a hand to lift these boxes?Gary: Sorry mate I just got dressed I am on my way out. I don’t want to get dirty.Me: Ok thanks a bunch (ironic laugh)Now you know how to say THANK YOU in English in a few different ways. And remember that saying THANK YOU is  one of the easiest way to let someone know that we appreciate their help.   How to Say and Respond to Thank you in English Responding to Thank You NOT AT ALL!  You use not at all as a polite response to someone thanking you for something.Thank you very much for giving me a lift.Not at all.THATS ALL RIGHTWe use thats all right in the same way.  Thank you for lending me your car today.Thats all right, I didnt need it anyway.We can also use DONT MENTION IT and IT WAS NOTHINGThanks a lot for giving me a lift home.It was nothing.(IT WAS) MY PLEASURE is a little bit more formalThank you for baking a birthday cake for my son.It was my pleasure.

Are unconditional offers a blessing or a curse - Tutor Hunt Blog

Are unconditional offers a blessing or a curse Are unconditional offers a blessing or a curse? Are unconditional offers a blessing or a curse?UniversitiesI can remember receiving an unconditional offer from my chosen university, and joking with my parents that I didn`t need to revise for my exams. `Whatever I get they have to admit me!` I thought, believing this was a licence to relax in my studies, and perhaps work on my computer game technique. Thankfully my parents made sure I knuckled down and got to work, and in the end I actually chose to go to another university after receiving my grades - but receiving the offer felt like a golden ticket. There has been concern over the precipitous rise in unconditional offers granted during the last 5 years. In 2013 the number of unconditional offers granted to 18 year olds was a modest 3000. In 2018 however the number had risen to a staggering 117,000! Quite an increase there, nearly 40 fold by my calculations. There has also been a huge growth in the so called `conditional unconditional` offers, which didn`t actually exist in 2013, but were granted to 66,000 students in 2018. I wasn`t actually aware of the `conditional unconditional` category, but have since learnt that it means the student is granted the place without question, with the stipulation that they make that university their first choice. Concerns have been raised by both schools and colleges that those students granted such guarantees are underachieving in exams, spending less time revising by taking `their foot off the gas,` according to the Office for Students (OfS). Researchers also found that those with unconditional offers were likely to miss their predicted marks by as much as two or three grades. It is disquieting to think that there may have been many A-Level students who were on course to receiving A grades, but after being granted unconditional offers became less studious, and ended up getting only C grades. OfS chief executive Nicola Dandridge has expressed serious concern about the huge rise in unconditional offers, in particular critiquing those `with strings attached, which are akin to pressure selling`. With the introduction of university fees the students, as opposed to local councils, now pay the majority of the bill, and securing placements may have become more of a commercial enterprise. Indeed, the Office for Students has likened the commonplace use of unconditional offers to `pressure selling,` and has said that universities may even be contravening consumer law. This is hardly the language one would expect when discussing the education sector, but the simple truth is that university places do need to be `sold` for the institutions to remain functional. Despite these concerns there are many who are of the opinion that unconditional offers have a vital role to play in ensuring everyone has a chance of going to university. Chris Husbands, vice-chancellor of the OfS has said that these offers give a chance to those students who `might otherwise not have the opportunity to study at a very high level`. `What unconditional offers can do when used in this way is to remove one element of pressure from the system and then ideally help students to achieve their potential and to thrive.` The Office for Students has said it will be monitoring the situation closely, and will be looking for a correlation between unconditional offers, and students not attaining their predicted grades, or dropping out soon after beginning their courses. They will also be encouraging students to be aware of any `pressure selling practices,` and have said they will take regulatory action, which may include fining universities, and forcing changes in their internal practices. The Student Room, an online forum where students can discuss all matters relating to university, has been discussing the pros and cons associated with unconditional offers for some time. In one post a student said they had received four unconditional offers out of their five applications, but each had the stipulation that they had to be selected as the first choice. This left the student rather disillusioned, feeling that `the universities do not actually care if I get the grade, instead, they just care about how many places they fill and want to guarantee as many as possible with the appeal of an unconditional offer.` Universities should only admit students onto courses who are academically suited for them. But with the growing commercialisation of the education sector, it is inevitable that the primary concern of universities will be ensuring their courses are fully booked up. Empty seats in the lecture hall means a loss of income. For many receiving an unconditional offer will be confidence boosting, and galvanise them to get the best grade they can; for others though it may mean they get a place on a course not suitable for them, and end up dropping out of university all together. 13 months ago0Add a Comment

16 Ways to Conquer Mathematics in 2016

16 Ways to Conquer Mathematics in 2016 16 ways to conquer Mathematics in 2016:Study. It can be very difficult to study for mathematics! But, I find that it can increase your math test scores dramatically. The best way I find to study in general for all subjects is to set a goal. Whether it be a list of chapters to review, a concept to go over, or a skill to re-learn, set a goal for yourself. In math, your text book can help you highlight the main points of a lesson. Look for the vocabulary words, big concept boxes, and the clear directions. Don’t waste your time deciphering!Practice. You aren’t going to get good at something that you haven’t practiced doing. I am a very good guitar player, and I didn’t just pick up my guitar and start playing, it took years of diligent practice. The odd numbers in the back of the textbook help, but don’t show you how to get to the answer. Try doing the example problems in the lesson!Use tools to your advantage: your calculator is your friend, but it is not your crutch. Sometimes it’s useful to be able to do simple math operations like add and subtract, or even complex ones, like graphing and finding intersection points. Use them appropriately, make sure you know how to do the calculations that your calculator is doing!Get Organized: Not only do you need to know when your assignments are due, have scheduled study/homework time, and balance school, work, and family, you need to be organized in the way you do your math. make your scratchwork neat, number your problems, explain things to yourself in your notes. The best person that can explain something to you is yourself. When you get something the teacher or professor has taught you, write down what made you get it!Take Good Notes: Many students struggle in class understanding, and then struggle even further at home! You are not alone. Math is hard! Make sure that you take really clear notes. It goes with organization. Write neatly and professionally, if someone were to find your notes, could they teach th emselves? I like to draw pictures, make mental notes, and doodle. Keep your pen in your hand, ready to write.Go to class: A lot of times, especially in college, students skip class because the teacher is boring, or the content is. Don’t do it, this results in an instant drop in your grade. It’s harder than you think it is to catch up in Math! And when you are in class, don’t be a library book. Meaning, don’t be checked out!Work hard: Math is not easy! You need to do your homework to the best of your abilities, especially if you don’t understand the subject.Points Matter: Don’t skip out on doing homework because it’s only a low percentage. If it’s 5% and you have a 65% in the class, and you didn’t do your homework, you missed out. You have to put in work in order to pass, don’t expect a free A. There are two grades in all classes. Effort and Actual. Your effort grade, is something that you give yourself. Make sure you have an A, meaning you give as much as you can . Your actual grade often reflects your effort grade.Put the Cell Phone Away: It is such a distraction. Music can help sometimes, but your brain is horrible at multitasking! Focus on one thing at a time, and you can accomplish more.Pace yourself: Waiting until the last minute to do your homework is something that I have watched students do over and over. I even do it myself. It is not something that will benefit you. You may get it done before the due date, but “cramming” and doing things last minute result in poor knowledge and understanding of the subject.Sleep: Staying up and doing homework is just simply not worth it. Six to eight hours of sleep will benefit you as a person! Running on four hours and coffee is not good!Be Healthy: Feed your brain good food! Be the best you can be! Your brain is the most valuable resource, when your brain is healthy, it is sharp and ready for anything! Especially those tricky math problems!Double Check: When it comes to the big test, the slee p, and the healthiness will help, but we are human! We make mistakes all the time. Make sure that you double check your work. Often times in Math, you can!Be positive: Being angry and frustrated is okay! But be positive. One more try, one more chapter review in the textbook, or one more problem can be the difference in understanding a difficult math concept.Reward: When I do good on a test, I like to reward myself! Weather it be my favorite restaurant, or a new pair of shoes, I always treat myself after getting a good grade on a test!Ask for help: Your teacher, your parents, your tutor, are all here to help you! They want you to succeed, so use them to the best of your abilities. Scheduling with Frog Tutoring can help you improve beyond the sessions, in the classroom, and in other subjects! Book me,Quentin Nolf, today!

The Five People You Meet on Instagram

The Five People You Meet on Instagram Image Courtesy of @Jaime_Eisenberg via Instagram The “never miss a #TBT” user As Instagram gained popularity in the world of social media, the application’s digital trend “#tbt” gained notoriety amongst its users. Though many Instagramers stick to posting pictures from back in the day every so often, there are other users who are more committed. Whether it’s the constant stream of “ I used to be so cute- what happened?” baby pictures or prom picture throwbacks, these users never miss a beat. Image Courtesy of EmilySinger via Instagram The classic “selfie” user Although the “selfie” trend has become a widespread epidemic, Instagram has provided the ultimate platform for every wide-eyed, pursed-lip user near and far. In the event that youre curious what your boyfriend looked like posing in the mirror of the gym after a workout or what color lip gloss your best friend chose to wear today, these users have got you covered. Image Courtesy of mandabean17 via Instagram The “#OOTD” user Everyone’s got clothes. But if you’re one of these users, you make sure everyone knows just how many outfits you have. OOTD, or Outfit of the Day, is another digital trend Instagramers use to display, well, their outfits of the day. Though some choose to display their high-waisted denim shorts-bandeau-tanktop-combat boots combo simply by laying them out on a trendy wooden floor, others take one for the team and provide a selfie, enabling their loyal followers to get the full effect. #The “#Hashtag #Obssessed” #user The Instagramer that everyone loves to hate and hates to love. This user is that one person that will hashtag just about any relevant #word #that #comes #to #mind. Their posts will keep you scrolling down your feed for days but anyone who says reading those rambling captions isn’t their guilty pleasure doesn’t deserve anymore likes on their selfies.
