A Day in the Life at University of Pennsylvania

A Day in the Life at University of Pennsylvania Carolynne is a current sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Biological Basis of Behavior program, and specializes in algebra tutoring, Mandarin Chinese tutoring, and many other subjects. Read on for her college experience interview about her time at the University of Pennsylvania. Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Carolynne: The University of Pennsylvania is situated in the city of Philadelphia, with the inner city only a short subway ride away. Buses are also readily available all over campus and the city itself. The campus is relatively urban, but also not in the middle of the city, so there is the perfect balance of having a campus and also having the city relatively accessible. Some students choose to bike, skateboard, or scooter around campus, but the University of Pennsylvania is really walkable, so I dont think having a bike is necessary. The school also provides shuttle buses, though Ive never had to use one, since it takes me a maximum of 15 minutes to get to all my classes. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Carolynne: My professors and teaching assistants are almost always readily available after class to answer any questions I might have. If not, they are always willing to meet with students during office hours. My academic adviser is also open to meeting with me whenever. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Carolynne: I live in the New College House, which is the newest building on campus. My room here is larger than the one I have at home! I like the dining options we have; the New College House dining hall provides a variety of food, and there are also other dining halls open around campus at various times, like 1920 Commons, Kings Court, Hillel, and McClelland. My floor and my dorm as a whole provide a lot of opportunities to meet other students. Some of my closest friends live in my hall, and I also know a lot of people who live on the other floors. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Carolynne: Although the undergraduate program has four different schools (Wharton, the College, Nursing, and Engineering) I dont feel like any one major or program is better supported than the others. I have found so many unique opportunities to explore my multiple interests. For example, next semester, I will participate in research related to biology and neuroscience, since I enjoy biology. At the same time, I will organize activities as VP of the Spring Trip Committee in the Wharton Asia Exchange club, which promotes business and culture in Asia. I also love promoting dialogues about diversity and cultural awareness, so I have participated in Penns Intercultural Leadership Program. I am Freshman Liaison of Hong Kong Student Association, and next semester, I will be participating in Penns Fellowship for Building Intercultural Communities. 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? Carolynne: Everyone at Penn who I have met is so open to meeting new people, so it was really easy for me to make friends. Greek life plays as big a role as you want it to in your social life. There are so many more fun social opportunities that dont involve Greek life, like socializing events or just hanging out with friends. No one has judged me for not being as involved in Greek life. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Carolynne: Ive been to Penn Career Services twice so far, and the people there have been really helpful and informative. Im also involved in the Weingarten Center, which offers student support services, and they are generally available to students who reach out. Penn also has CAPS, which stands for Counseling and Psychological Services, and Student Health Services, which are pretty available for students as well. As an underclassman, Im not as involved in recruiting, but I know from my upperclassmen friends that many reputable companies come to Penn to recruit, especially from Wharton. How are the various study areas, such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Carolynne: Because Penn is a large school, you do have to book ahead for private study areas, like Group Study Rooms in Huntsman Hall or rooms in Weigle Information Commons in Van Pelt Library. But other study areas, like libraries and dorm lounges, generally have plenty of space for students. The dorm lounges and the second-floor reading room in the New College House are spacious and readily available. Describe the surrounding town. Carolynne: The surrounding city has such a variety of things to do. I havent explored Philadelphia as extensively as Id like, since work and other commitments sometimes keep me on campus. But the city has museums, shopping opportunities, nice restaurantsliterally anything you would want to do, and everything is really close by. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Carolynne: The undergraduate student body at Penn consists of about 10,000 students. There are lecture-size classes, which can have around 200 people, but the majority of classes at Penn are seminars, which can have 20 people. You can choose whether you want more lectures or seminars; it depends on how you like to learn. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Carolynne: One memorable experience I had in a class would have to be when my Urban Studies professor, Dr. Dennis Culhane, brought in a guest speaker to our class, Homelessness and Urban Inequality. The guest speaker talked about his 23 years of experience living on the streets and in jails, and how he now works for Pathways to Housing, which provides homeless individuals with supportive housing with no strings attached. I really enjoyed listening to our speakers lived experiences; his story has inspired me more than anything to contribute to social change in a positive and long-lasting way.

My Experience at the University of Georgia

My Experience at the University of Georgia The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Olivia is an Atlanta tutor specializing in French tutoring, Study Skillsand Organization tutoring, and a number of other areas. She is currently a senior at the University of Georgia majoring in Communication Studies and French. See what she had to share about the University of Georgia: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. How urban or rural is the campus? Did you feel safe on campus? Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Olivia: The University of Georgia campus is located in Athens, GA, a medium-sized town one hour east of Atlanta. Athens is not urban, nor would I describe it as a small town. The city has its own charm not too small that it gets boring, and not too big that it gets overwhelming. The campus has an extensive bus system (as it is a big campus). In addition, there is the Athens bus system, so you can live off-campus without necessarily having to buy a parking pass to drive to campus. I have always used the Athens bus system without problems. Athens is also a pretty bike-friendly city. Biking is popular here, and people do bike to campus. The University of Georgia does a lot to ensure safety, including staffing their own police force and releasing campus alerts through text messages, calls, and emails. I feel the campus is very safe, or at least as safe as any other big college. I have never felt anything but secure. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Olivia:Professors and advisers at the University of Georgiahave been very responsive to emails and questions I have had. Some professors even specify a maximum two-day email response time on their syllabi so that they hold themselves accountable. Office hours are always emphasized, and teachers encourage you to come see them during the time they provide. Even briefly before or after class, teachers answer quick questions with no issue. Advisers are always available for appointments or questions via email. However, I do recommend doing your own research about class options before meeting with an adviser. They can help you sort out most things, but they will not give you every bit of information or option available, so it is always better to be informed. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Olivia:Dorm lifeis a big part of the University of Georgia experience! It is a great, hugely social experience that is truly characteristic of being a college student. It really makes your freshman year fun, and it helps you to integrate, meet people, and get involved on campus. First, there are many on-campus dorm options that involve living with a roommate. For example, I lived in a typical, very small dorm room in a tall residence hall, and it was great. You meet people on your hall, and they become the little community that you come home to every day. There are many options depending on gender, bathroom preferences, size, and location on campus. When you live on campus, going to class is very convenient by foot or by bus. Also, you can take better advantage of the long list of clubs, organizations, and activities that happen on campus every day. Something is always going on, and there is something for everyone. Plus living on campus makes it really easy to go to sports games (rea d: football) and to utilize the awesome gym. Dining options at the University of Georgiaare way above what you would find at the majority of other universities. The University of Georgia dining hallsare award-winning, and you can tell! The choice, quality, and size of the five dining halls are much better than a typical college dining situation (compared to the other college visits I did, as well as my friends who came from different places to visit). This is one of the best parts of living on campus, especially for freshmen going with friends to the dining hall, where you can find fresh smoothies, ice cream, extensive salad bars, and a variety of dishes. You will never get bored of eating the same thing. There are also numerous cafes and eateries (separate from the meal plan) that you can stop into around campus. 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? Olivia:The University of Georgia is generally known for its Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, as well as its Public Relations major. The Terry College of Business and the Psychology department are highly regarded, as well. The science department (namely Biology and Chemistry) is known to be pretty rigorous. I am studying French and Communication Studies. I have a strong interest in language and foreign cultures, which ultimately pushed me to want to study a language throughout college. I wanted to have a broader education than just a language, and I found (after many major changes) that Communication Studies best fit what I wanted to learn and what I thought would be useful later in life. I think the university did support my areas of study, given that each department made an effort to engage students in organizations and outside events. French conversation tables, departmental scholarships, and respective clubs are all examples of things that I have been involved i n via my majors. 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? Olivia:I would say that it was not super easy for me to meet people in the beginning, but let me clarify this was not because there was not a million opportunities to do so. This is the way it was for me, and it is different for everyone. Meeting people who you relate to takes time, and it did not happen for me right away during my freshman year (even if I was involved in activities with others). Once I started really finding my niche, I met more long-term friends. But this is normal for freshmen, and it only gets better year after year. Greek life does play a significant role at the University of Georgia if you want it to. I was not a part of Greek life, but many people do it and enjoy it. I knew it was not something for me, so I made an effort to meet people in other ways, including sports, clubs, classes, dorms, etc. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Olivia:The Career Center at the University of Georgia is awesome. Every time I have interacted with them, they have been extremely nice, organized, and helpful. I have used their resume critique services, I have been to many workshops, and I have done many Skype interviews in their private Skype rooms. I still have a folder of resume and cover letter tips. They do a lot to help students succeed. Large career fairs happen several times during the school year, and many reputable companies are represented on campus. There are also many reputable companies on a job search database called Dawglink, which is a great way to connect University of Georgia students to companies for full-time and part-time positions. Company executives come to speak to different classrooms from time to time as well, especially in the business school. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Olivia:Places to study on campus are numerous and widespread. Since it is such a big campus, it may take a little time to find them all! I will name some of them here: there are two massive centralized buildings called the Miller Learning Center and the Tate Student Center. In a nutshell, they both consist of lots of computers, study rooms, armchairs, and tables. Quieter and louder areas are separated, and there is even a designated reading room in the Miller Learning Center. The library is also a great place to study, and it is my preferred spot. It is quiet and huge seven stories in total. There are computers, tables, chairs, whiteboards, and little nooks. The Miller Learning Center does get crowded in the middle of the week. It is a major crossroads for many peoples classes and study meetings, etc. The main library is generally less crowded. However, there are also good places to study on other areas of campus, like the science library, the law library, and outside! Benches and green space are abundant on campus. So, basically, if you want to study on campus, there is always a place you can go that is not overcrowded. 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? Olivia:Athens is such an interesting, eclectic town. It is no big city, and it does not have that bustle, but there are other advantages to it. It is very southern and very outdoorsy, yet full of culture and full of authentic people. The downtown area is probably its most famous perk. And it is pretty amazing, with something like 80 bars on four streets. This is, of course, a huge pull for students, especially since the downtown area starts at the very edge of north campus. But having mentioned the downtown area, I would like to express how Athens is so much more than just the downtown. There are very interesting music venues all over the city. In fact, Athens is known for its music scene. There are parks and historical trails, organic farmers markets, and really great local restaurants. There is the Oconee River and several microbreweries. So as the University of Georgia does create a sort of bubble in the center part of the city, there is much to experience and explore outside of campus if you choose to. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Olivia:The undergraduate population is about 25,000, with graduate students adding another 10,000. So if you are looking for a big school, this is one of them. The class sizes will vary depending on the class. For example, lower-level classes that are popular and required for most students can be very big (250 students for many Chemistry, Biology, or Political Science courses). But other required classes, like English, might be smaller (about 30). Once you get into higher-level classes, the size is anywhere from 25-65. I have many classes that are only about 15-20. Honors Program classes are generally about 20 people. I did not have issues with the large class sizes. This is a personal preference (whether or not you deal well learning in large groups like that). However, even if you do not like large classes, chances are only your first year will be like that, and then your classes will be smaller from the second year on. And in the end, sitting near the front and meeting with the professor during office hours makes it seem like a smaller class anyway. It depends on your learning style and preferences. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Olivia:My most memorable experiences go back to specific professors who were really intelligent and who really knew how to communicate and teach well. With these professors, I did not even have to be particularly interested in the subject. It was their teaching that made the difference. I remember my Anthropology teacher was so excited about what we were learning that he really engaged us, even if we were talking about non-human primates. I also remember my Intercultural Communications teacher. She had us read the most interesting articles about other countries and do a project where we acted as consultants. And my Political Science teacher was incredibly gifted and funny. He led class discussions with such ease, prompting us to think differently and critically about things. These teachers have made my experience at the University of Georgia especially enriching. Check out Olivias tutoring profile.

Divide Scientific Notation

Divide Scientific Notation Divide scientific notation tool is used to find out the division of the two numbers which are in scientific form. Division of two scientific notation two numbers always gives result in scientific form. The division of these numbers always involve 10^ n, its result is always expressed in this form: - (x) * 10^n. Here x is any number. It can be in decimal form also but it must be in scientific notation overall. It can be better clarified by the relevant examples. The relevant examples are given as follows:- Question 1: Divide the following and express the result in scientific notation: (18 * 10^9)/ (6*10^3) Solution: Here we need to evaluate the (18 * 10^9)/ (6*10^3). To evaluate (18 * 10^9)/ (6*10^3) we first divide 18 by 3 and then we will divide 10^9 by 10^3. (18 * 10^9)/ (6*10^3) = 18/6 * 10 ^9/10^3 = 3 * 10 ^ (9-3) = 3 * 10 ^ 6 Therefore the result of (18 * 10^9)/ (6*10^3) in scientific notation = 3 * 10 ^ 6 Question 2: Divide the following and express the result in scientific notation:- (9 .9 * 10^10)/ (3* 10^2) Solution: Here we need to evaluate (9 .9 * 10^10)/ (3* 10^2) To evaluate (9 .9 * 10^10)/ (3* 10^2), first we need to divide 9.9 by 3 and then we will divide 10^10 by 10^2 The steps are shown below: (9 .9 * 10^10)/ (3* 10^2) = (9.9/3) * (10^10/10^2) = 3.3 * 10 ^ (10-2) = 3.3 * 10 ^ 8

10 Ways To Be a Bad Manager and Leader - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 10 Ways To Be a Bad Manager and Leader - Introvert Whisperer 10 Ways To Be a Bad Manager and Leader If you’re a manager, you probably want to spend some time figuring out if you are guilty of doing any of the following things that make you a bad manager.  Keep in mind, it only takes one of these things and if you are guilty of several, you probably have turnover â€" big time. 1-Use your employees as a shield â€" In order to look good to the higher level, it’s a nice touch to point the finger at an employee.  To ensure you look even better, maybe you fire that person to demonstrate just how serious you are in your blaming. 2-Hover like a helicopter â€" Because you don’t trust your employee or don’t know how to spend your day, you hover over your employees watching them work.  It comforts you and totally disrupts the employee. 3-Feed your ego â€"  You probably work hard to ensure everyone knows you’re in charge.  As you puff out your chest, you can be sure that alone will garner snickers behind your back.  You’re still the same person only more repulsive. 4-Tells employees how to do their job â€"  Nothing is more inspiring than to treat people like they know nothing and you know it all, even if you do. 5-Poor communication â€" If you aren’t setting expectations, direction and giving feedback continuously, you need a department of psychics.  No one can read your mind. 6- Yells â€" If you ever want someone to really hear and understand you, don’t yell. 7-Clueless â€" Sometimes situations at work dictate that you take over a group/function you know absolutely nothing about.  You can’t hide nor can you pretend your way around this fact although bad managers do all the time.  You need to train and learn if you are ever really going to lead this group.  It’s not a sign of weakness. 8- Can’t or won’t define a strategy or direction â€" Guess what?  Leaders, lead.  That means they have a direction or strategy to accomplish. 9- No management training â€" Managing is not the same job as “doing”.  If you haven’t had any training or done much reading on the subject, chances are high you aren’t doing a good job at managing. 10- No employee growth or nurturing â€" Employees are like plant-life. If they are kept in the dark, not given room to learn and grow or given the respect, they will leave or die-at-their-desk. Managing is a unique opportunity to learn new skills and to work with others at a different level.  If done right, it can be the best job in the world and employees will appreciate you and crave working for you.  Wouldn’t that be a great goal to have? Great Leadership is a skill you can learn and I’ve developed a program to increase your skills in just 6 short weeks with a live, interactive training.  Check out the details and be ready to get going: https://introvertwhisperer.leadpages.co/leadlikeyoumeanitpilot/ By Dorothy Tannahill-Moran

Lyrically Stuck Think Like Eddie Vedder

Lyrically Stuck Think Like Eddie Vedder Suzy S. Earlier this week, Eddie Vedder announced the venues for his upcoming solo tour, stopping in 13 cities to promote his 2011 album Ukelele Songs. The tour begins on April 11th in Las Vegas, and then works across the country, ending on May 16th in Orlando.   Pearl Jam embarks on its European tour just one month after. Vedders passion-filled lyrics, ranging in topics from personal to political, have made him one of the most prominent songwriters of the rock-and-roll genre.   Pair that with his signature singing style, and youve got the makings of one of the most influential bands of all time. If songwriting is something that you want to improve on, honing in on your creativity is an important skill to learn.   We suggest checking out our previous posts on writing lyrics and breaking songwriters block, but if youre still not feeling creative, dont stress too much.   For many musicians, finding new and unique ideas and just plain motivation are the hardest parts.   In order to help you out of that rut, here are 3 more exercises to find inspiration for song lyrics: 1.   Location Inspiration: Find lyric-writing inspiration through location Location is very important when writing, because  atmosphere affects your creative energy. For example, it may be difficult to write sad or painful lyrics in a park. At a park youd probably feel relaxed and maybe a little content or happy. This atmosphere wouldnt work to channel sadness, unless you have a sad memory attached to the park (more on object inspiration next). In an empty and run-down apartment, you probably wouldn’t feel happiness, so itd be the best location to write a painful lyric or two. Even your kitchen is different from your living room in evoking creative emotion. Choose the best location to write your song lyrics. 2. Object Inspiration: Find lyric-writing inspiration through objects Rarely does inspiration just come from within. Songwriters surround themselves with things that will inspire their next creative work. Open a photo album and reminisce on old memories attached to your target emotion. Read old letters and remember where you were and what you felt when you first read them. Visit friends or family member you havent seen in a while, to get inspired. Watch a television show or film where your target emotion is prevalent. Go to a familiar place and think about old memories from there. Use whatever object you need to channel your target emotion. 3. Topic Inspiration: Find lyric-writing inspiration through a topic or idea Imagine yourself in a particular situation. It could be a situation thats happened to you, someone close to you, a group of people, or someone well-known.   Now put yourself there mentally and emotionally. How does it make you feel? Explore those feelings until youve found your target emotion. One way to make sure your lyric idea has the strongest inspiration is to brainstorm on universal topics issues that large groups of people are experiencing.   Successful topics are often ones that many people find relatable. Where do you go for inspiration?   Do you write in a specific room or place to get the creativity flowing?   Share your tips with the community by leaving a comment below!

Rene Descartes French Philosopher and Mathematician

Rene Descartes French Philosopher and Mathematician What is Descartes' Legacy to Mathematics? ChaptersThe Life of the MathematicianAlgebra in the Context of DescartesMath and Descartes: A System of CoordinatesWhat is Descartes' Lasting Mark on Mathematics?When discussing the history of mathematics, it is impossible to skip over Rene. A great scientist of the 17th century, Descartes left an influential mark on his era due to his innovations in the notation of geometry and his concept of analytic geometry. The creator of the infamous phrase “cogito ergo sum,” Descartes and his discoveries are taught in every school around the world.Aristotle, Spinoza, Kant, Pythagoras, philosophical thought, metaphysical foundations, reasoning, intuition, rational thinking â€" if calculation and philosophy is your passion, you’re sure to love Rene Descartes and his history!quadratus” and “cubus” to note the powers x2 and x3.While notation is certainly important, Descartes also made the influential recognition that geometrical problems could be transformed into numerical ones. This a nalytical geometry now plays a major part in the what goes into the mathematical criteria of national education.Descartes is also associated with Cartesian thought, also known as Cartesianism, which is a form of philosophical and scientific school of thought that deals with metaphysicality and rationalism that went strictly against what was known as empiricism. Cartesians were encouraged to adopt a mindset wherein they were to view humans as dual, in that their mind and matter were two finite materials. While this might sound strange to wrap your head around, Cartesian thought inspired people like Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who both developed calculus.
