UWEC Chemistry
UWEC ChemistryIn my two years of UWEC Chemistry I have encountered several students that have asked me, 'Where do I get more information about this subject?' And from the very first question, I knew it was going to be a long day. In this post I will provide some easy to understand information on UWEC Chemistry that you can use in your own courses.First let's talk about books. UWEC is a large university with a bookstore that will not only help you find a book, but also give you the latest free information on the subject. Books can be found at the bookstore or you can go online to find a UWEC Chemistry book. UWEC has been in the publishing business for over thirty years, and many of the books are offered as a download for a fee. But don't worry, there are many sources for your study materials.UWEC has an online library that will give you access to some of the best information available. I use this resource as the University of Washington is offering free access to many of its textbooks , even if they do not appear in print form.UWEC also offers professional development classes that focus on UWEC Chemistry. Classes can be found in many different departments such as Mathematics, Mathematics Education, and Physics.The UWEC Biology department has a lot of resources for your use. For example the Biology professor and department will offer a series of seminars on UWEC Chemistry that you can take if you need supplemental help with the subject.If you want to take a UWEC Physics class, then it might be a good idea to find a school in your area that offers this type of course. But I don't recommend it as the subject is very tough and very time consuming. You will also want to choose a school that offers accredited courses.A UWEC Astronomy class will provide you with a glimpse into the subject. But if you don't want to spend the money on a UWEC Astronomy class you can just take a UWEC Astronomy course as a self-study course.You can visit the UWEC website to find more informa tion on UWEC Chemistry and the other sciences. There is also a number of published books that UWEC has available that are made by the university.

The Motivation Language Learning Requires (and 8 Tips for Getting It)
The Motivation Language Learning Requires (and 8 Tips for Getting It) The true, long-term motivation language learning requires can be hard to come by.Sure, language learning is fun.Sometimes its less so.We all have those days creep in when learning a language may seem like more work than its worth.But a momentary loss of your language learning mojo doesnt have to spell the end of your language learning aspirations.What determines whether youre ultimately successful in learning a language isnt whether you have trouble getting motivated at times (thats going to happen), but your ability to bounce back and fight through the language learning doldrums.Fortunately, we have some ways to tilt the odds in your favor to get that spark back, which will make it easier to get back on track. Lets get right to it! The Motivation Language Learning Requires (and 8 Tips for Getting It)1. Have a Language Learning PlanAnyone whos ever taken a trip knows that planning how to do something can be more work than actually doing the thing itself. In the case of learni ng a language from scratch, you have to figure out how youre going to build up all your language skills (writing, listening, speaking, etc.) simultaneously using materials that are challenging but not too challenging.Having to constantly worry about organizing how youre going to learn can get tiring and boring fast. So to get this potential motivation killer out of the way, try doing as much planning in advance as possible. Draw up a language learning plan that includes a schedule, a list of what materials youre going to use and a rough timeline.The idea is that whenever you sit down to learn a language, you should be able to go straight to the meat of your language learning and not have to worry about deciding what to work on. Being able to follow a preexisting plan is especially helpful on days when motivation for language learning is lagging.When you get through your plan, draw up a new language learning plan. Note that having a plan doesnt mean you have to get stuck in a rutâ" having a creative, interesting plan with lots of variety will help keep things fresh and get you through the times when youre feeling less inspired.2. Make Talking to People Part of Your Language Learning ScheduleIf youre having a hard time getting excited about language learning, sometimes a little peer pressure is just what the doctor ordered. Having activities where you have to talk to other people in your target language as a regular part of your language learning schedule can make a big difference.There are a couple reasons these activities are helpful for maintaining language learning motivation:Doing anything with other people can make things more interesting, and youll be especially glad you dont have to go it alone during times when youre not really feeling the language learning magic.Having to use the language regularly to interact with other people provides an additional incentive to keep making progress. Youll be motivated to learn it for the sake of communicating with other people.Face-to-face group settings are ideal for maintaining language learning motivation. Some of the activities you can try include study groups, meetups and reading groups. But if you cant find something in your area, online language exchanges can also add an entire new dimension to the language learning experience.Whatever the exact activity you choose, make sure your language learning plan has some sort of regularly scheduled way of learning your language by talking to other people.This is a really big deal in language learning communities. Academic researchers who study language learning methods have coined a term for this motivational strategy: integrative motivation. Thats rightâ"its been scientifically proven that talking to people provides you with a very uniquely effective form of motivation for language learning.But it goes a little further. Integrative motivation is extra powerful when you care about the people youre speaking with, so practicing with friends, family and significant others gives you an additional motivational boost. If you need to meet new people to practice with, take a strong interest in their lives and try to build a real relationship.Why does this work? Integrative motivation is all about wanting to connect and become integrated in the culture of the target language. Wanting to speak like a native, blend in among native speakers and have close relationships with them is what will carry you forward.This is much more powerful than instrumental motivation, which is when you only want to speak a particular language to complete a task and earn a cookie, like putting your proficiency on your resume, land a job, make more sales or make a good impression.3. Use What Youve Already LearnedWhen youre learning a new language, it can be tempting to try to learn as much new material as possible as quickly as possible. However, if you focus exclusively on learning new material, you run the risk of burning out.More important than le arning as much as you can as fast as you can is making sure you have fun with the stuff youve already learned. Keep a journal, compose a song or write a poem if thats your thing. Talk to people. Even treat yourself to a meal at an ethnic restaurant, or try cooking one at home by following a recipe in your target language.When youre writing up your language learning plan, keep an eye out for courses or software that give you opportunities to review material youve learned in interesting ways. FluentU, the online immersion platform with real-world videos, is a great example of what this looks like. Not only does it already spice things up with interesting and varied media, it also sets you up for success by asking you questions based on what youve already learned. Now thats personalized learning!Using what youve already learned is essential to staying motivated because learning a language isnt a black-and-white situation where either youve learned the language or you havent. Rather, youre gradually getting to know the language better over time, and its important to give yourself credit for what youve already accomplished.Spending some time using material you already know is also the best way to shut up any internal voice that might be telling you youre not making enough progress. That voice is detrimental to your learning, and reminding yourself of how far youve already come proves it wrong. Besides, youre learning a language for a particular reason, so once youve learned any amount of your language, use it!4. Do Things You EnjoyNo matter how many language learning goals you set and how organized you are, its hard to stay motivated if you dont enjoy the actual process of language learning itself. The best antidote for the language learning blahs is to make sure youre learning language in a way that makes you constantly curious about what youre going to do next.One way to add this spark to your language learning life is to switch out rote studying in favor of interactive learning and games whenever possible.Another way is to go a step further and replace a chunk of time you wouldve spent studying language instead just using the language for things you enjoy by reading books, watching movies, etc. By using the language for things you enjoy, youre adding more intrinsically rewarding activities to the language learning process as opposed to just learning a language to meet an external goal.You can also choose long-term projects to help sustain your motivation for language learning over time. For example, if you pick a book to read thats a page turner, but that will take you a while to get through, itll be that much harder to give up on language learning before finding out how things end!If youre just starting out, you can still use this strategy to motivate yourself by challenging yourself to get to the point where it is an option to use your target language to do things you enjoy. That way youre working towards a shorter-term goal inste ad of the way too broad goal of becoming fluent in the language.For instance, try picking a simple book you want to read, then commit to reaching a level of basic reading comprehension where you can work through that book with the help of a dictionary. Once you arrive at that point, youll get a big motivation boost by successfully meeting a shorter-term goal and by adding a new intrinsically rewarding activity to your language learning regime.5. Find Media Not Available in Your Native LanguageAn exciting aspect of learning a language is gaining access to an entire new culture (magazines, TV shows, podcasts, blogs, Twitter feeds, etc.) that you cant get in your native language.So if youre looking to add a motivation boost, try consuming media only available in the language youre learning. Besides providing a way for you to work on your language through an activity you enjoy, youre literally using what youve learned to do something you would never be able to do otherwise with this t echnique.It can take a little searching to actually find media not available in your native language. One way to do this is to look for newly released media thats so fresh it hasnt been translated to other languages yet. If youre looking for books, try Googling something along the lines of ânew books in [target language].â For example, the website New Books in German keeps a running list of yet-to-be-translated German books hot off the press. For best results, type the search terms in your target language.Consuming media only available in your target language involves one of the best reasons for learning a language: gaining access to an entire new range of experiences that youd never be able to have with only your native language.6. Make Language Learning a HabitBrushing my teeth isnt something I get really excited about, but I still do it every day. Whats the key to my remarkable teeth brushing consistency?Habit! (And visions of all my teeth falling out.)If you make languag e learning a habit rather than just something you do when you feel like it, loss of motivation will become less catastrophic. Of course, motivation will still affect the quality of your language learning and you still want language learning to be something intrinsically rewarding overall, but having language learning as a regular habit woven into the fabric of your day-to-day life will make it easier to push through the times when youre not feeling it as much. And thats because sitting down to study language will be more automatic.Try picking a regular learning time that you stick to religiously, either every day or on predetermined days of the week. That way your thought process will be âWell, its 6 p.m. on Monday, time to work on my Spanish againâ rather than âHmm, should I study Spanish now? Nah, not really feeling motivated today.âYou can make language learning a routine without having language learning be routine. That is, just because working on your language is a reg ularly scheduled habit doesnt mean you cant actually study in interesting and varied ways. It just means getting your brain in gear for language learning will become easier since its more automatic.7. Take Inventory of Whats WorkingAll the motivation-boosting strategies in the world wont make a difference if youre not using language learning techniques that are right for your learning style. To make sure youre using techniques that are keeping you engaged rather than sapping your motivation, take inventory of your language learning at the end of every month or so. Review whether your language learning routine contains any unnecessarily boring or tedious learning techniques that you should replace.Some red flags that point to possible counterproductive learning techniques are:Learning activities you dreadLearning activities where youre progressing at a frustratingly slow paceIneffective learning activitiesSo when you take stock of your learning techniques, ask yourself what activitie s you hate the most and what activities youre progressing the slowest in.If the answer is none, great! If you do find some counterproductive learning activities, however, thats also great because it means you can replace them with something more effective and enjoyable.To replace activities that just arent cutting it, try searching online for other activities that target the same skills. For instance, if you really hate memorizing vocab, Google for vocab learning techniques and youll discover a world of vocab games and apps and other learning tools. The FluentU Language Learning Blog is an excellent place to get ideas for engaging and effective language learning techniques. (Using that same example of learning vocab, the blog has fun games to boost your vocabulary, practical ways to learn vocab and tips for soaking up vocab like a sponge.)8. Visualize SuccessOne way language learning burnout happens is by getting so caught up in the day-to-day mechanics of learning a language th at you lose sight of your big-picture goals and motivations. To keep your eye on the prize, take time to remind yourself of your reasons for learning a language and to visualize what your life will look like and what youll do with the language once youve got a good handle on it.The important thing is to stay in touch with whatevers driving you to learn your language. Some ways to do this are:Decorate your room with motivational quotes in the language youre learningDecorate your room with posters or objects from the culture(s) associated with the language youre learning to remind yourself what about these cultures inspired you to learn the languagesMake a bucket list of places you want to go or things you want to do once you have a grasp on your languageLearning a language is such a long-term project that you need to take active steps to keep your overall motivations, desires and inspirations fresh in your mind. Getting the right language learning techniques is crucial, but so is hav ing an intuitive understanding of why youre spending your time locked up in a room poring over vocab lists.Of course, you probably will lose sight of your reasons for language learning at times along the way. And you definitely will wake up some days and just not be feeling it as far as language learning goes. Learning a language is no small undertaking, and youre bound to have ups and downs along the way.But the way to win out against the language learning blues is to have a concrete set of strategies you can use to weather the storm and work back to a place where language learning is something you want to do. Once you do that, its all worth it in the end.So, use these tips to get your excitement back and maintain all the long-term motivation language learning really requires; the future you will want to thank your past self for sticking things out.

Organic Chemistry Tutor - Rotational Energy
Organic Chemistry Tutor - Rotational EnergyRotational energy is one of the important concepts in organic chemistry. A rotary device is simply a material that has an ability to move. Many times it can move in three dimensions. In other words, it can rotate in one direction but not the other directions.Since rotational energy is so prevalent in organic chemistry, and it involves the molecules, it makes sense that the organic chemistry tutor would cover this concept thoroughly. However, there are many different concepts in organic chemistry, so there is no way you could cover everything in one short lesson.Therefore, the organic chemistry tutor will generally guide students through a lecture format that is focused on one or two concepts that they are most familiar with. After this lecture, the tutor will introduce their topics. By the time they have covered several topics, the organic chemistry tutor will introduce another topic for the student to review.The organic chemistry tutor will also use different ways to help their students learn the concept of rotational energy. The most common form of this is to actually show examples of rotational energy from the lab. One example of this would be showing students something like a rotor device, or if they wanted to see it in action they could watch someone build a rotor device. This example should not be too hard to understand, because rotors are often used in machinery to rotate the parts.Another way that the organic chemistry tutor could be used would be to direct students towards new concepts. Some people may not understand how rotational energy could be created or transformed, so a tutor could help them understand it. They could also show examples of how rotational energy was used to create chemical reactions in the laboratory.So if you find that your organic chemistry teacher is not doing a good job in introducing concepts or showing examples, then try looking for an organic chemistry tutor online.

Surface Area of Rectangle Tutors
Surface Area of Rectangle Tutors A rectangle is a closed 2-dimensional geometric figure and it consists of 4 sides and 4 their respective angles. In a rectangle, the opposite sides are parallel to each other and they are also equal in measure. Each angle in a rectangle is equal to 90 and all the 4 angles are equal to each other. A rectangle has 2 dimensions because it has length and width as its measurements. Surface area of a rectangle is the area of the rectangle, and it is equal to the product of its length and its width. Example 1: What is the area of a rectangle whose length is 10m and width is 8m? Given: length of the rectangle, l = 10m Width of the rectangle, w = 8m In order to calculate the area of a rectangle, we can use its area formula. Area of a rectangle, A = (length) * (width) Applying the above formula, we get: Area of the rectangle, A = (10m)* (8m) This gives: Area, A = 80m2 Therefore, area of the given rectangle is 80m2. Example 2: What is the area of a rectangle whose length is 6m and width is 5m? Given: length of the rectangle, l = 6m Width of the rectangle, w = 5m In order to calculate the area of a rectangle, we can use its area formula. Area of a rectangle, A = (length) * (width) Applying the above formula, we get: Area of the rectangle, A = (6m)* (5m) This gives: Area, A = 30m2 Therefore, area of the given rectangle is 30m2.
Life Is All About Change - Introvert Whisperer
Introvert Whisperer / Life Is All About Change - Introvert Whisperer Life Is All About Change Iâm a bit sentimental today. Some of you may know or realize that when I started out as a coach, my website and business name was Next Chapter New Life. When I launched Introvert Whisperer over a year ago, I was unclear what to do with that website. Because I wasnât clear, I kept it going and continued to post content to it. I decided to âend-of-lifeâ the website, thus closing that chapter in my life. Thatâs why Iâm waxing nostalgic. It wonât impact anything you typically see from me. Because my roots are in change, I have to use this as an illustration for you on how we work in making change and the emotional reaction to change called transition. The first phase of transition is an ending. Something has to come to an end and for me, the end started last year as I ramped up Introvert Whisperer. During the end phase, you begin to disengage and begin to lose identification with what you are ending. I was identifying less with Next Chapter and more with Introvert Whisperer. The next phase is what I called confusion; Because it is largely a period where you feel unshaped by purpose. With my Next Chapter website/persona, that period of confusion has lasted a year. I wasnât clear what to do with it so rather than pulling the plug or redefining it, I decided my clarity would eventually come as I spent more time defining myself with Introvert Whisperer. Iâll note that we all move through our transition phases at different rates. For me, I felt that there would come a day where the answer of what to do would eventually arrive. It also let me come to grips with ending something I was very emotionally invested in. The last phase is beginnings. Introvert Whisperer to a large degree was the beginning and with this phase you have a new identity or direction. Itâs an energetic phase as you are further touching into new territory. Iâll note for you that while these three parts of transition are called phases, they occur at the same time. They occur in different proportions throughout the change but we shift through them daily. Because of the overlapping nature of the phases, we also experience mixed emotions and can often confuse these mixed emotions for making a wrong decision. You can feel happy and sad at the same time. Itâs a huge reason so many people avoid change because its not that comfortable. Transition = Endings-Confusion-Beginnings. You will always go through them with any change. Just know that when youâre at a low point or anxiety-ridden â" youâre normal! You will get through it. So, bye-bye Next Chapter New Life. Think about changes in your life and how these three phases occurred. It will help you the next time you have a change. Go to top Do you know what your next career step is? Many people donât.
