Tired of What You Are Doing? Why Not Retrain for a New Career in the Health Care Field?

By Vicki N. | 4/27/2013 12:33 PM CST |

It was the Fall of 2009 and the economy left many of us unemployed for the first time ever! I'm SO glad I LOST MY FULL TIME JOB. Just like that, the corporate world is cruel, they pulled the rug right out from under me! I only got 1 week of notice too!!! It doesn't matter how great your severance package is, it is no fun to have your life turned upside down without giving you time to process what is happening to you.

Returning to college was the best decision I ever made. If you started a college education and put it on hold to raise a family or build a career and now you wish you were...

The Ugly Head of Lower Level Math troubles

By David W C. | 2/16/2013 5:28 PM CST |

I have noticed a number of students in this area struggling with Algebra I and Algebra II. The students are at different levels of their educational process from High School to adult students re-entering the collegiate experience. In my experience having taught upper division sciences is that students who find that they have deficiencies in their lower level math skills, generally, 6-8th grade math, don't 'see' these deficiencies show up until they move into upper division college programs where more critical, cross-disciplinary thinking is required of them.

Here is the problem. There is an...

Preparing for Nursing School?

By Vicki N. | 1/23/2013 11:13 AM CST |

If you are in the preliminary stage working toward applying for a nursing program, I would love to meet you! I know it is hard work taking the courses you are studying and completing all requirements needed to make your application. Since 2010 I've studied biology, chemistry, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, in depth. These are not the easiest subjects to learn, especially if you are returning to college after taking time off to raise a family or pursue a career path in a different field. As a non-traditional student, I spent many late nights in Denny's drinking my vanilla lattes while...

Physical Exercise and Nutrition DO affect our brain performance and brain health.

By Paul C. | 10/23/2012 7:29 AM CST |

As you may know, I am a big fan of the well-known author and brain specialist, Dr. Daniel Amen. He mentions in several of his books that Physical Exercise is good for the brain. I have read of research studies that showed a clear correlation between IMPROVEMENT in students' test scores in math and science, and their level of physical activity (for example, when math class followed PE class, the students had significantly higher scores). Maybe we should schedule PE before all math classes in our schools. What do you think about that idea?

This morning I read an online article on the myhealthnewsdaily...

Homework? Really? REALLY?

By Matthew S. | 10/15/2012 3:11 PM CST |

The moans and groans are audible! "Why do I have to do homework??"

Let me tell you why I assign additional work outside of a tutoring session ... It is my job to be sure that you are able to apply and integrate the materials we cover in addition to being able to absorb facts and information. Sometimes what I call 'homework' is nothing more than finding an article about the topic we are covering at the time and being ready to discuss it with me using the terms and concepts we have been going over. Sometimes it may be a question I want you to be thinking about over the next few days or week,...

The Teaching Philosophy of Dr. Charles C.

By Dr. Charles C. | 7/16/2012 12:27 PM CST |

The philosophy of teaching I have embraced in thirty years of teaching medical students and college students is based on the belief that learning is student centered and that students need to be equal partners in the learning process. There must be present, a student mentor relationship of trust. There should, however, always be an authoritative presence in the mentor. This leadership should be omnipresent, whether in the classroom, tutorship, or online. The mentoring teacher’s role involves using his expertise to place necessary resources in the hands of the student and to train him to be not...

Cultural Bias in Online College Courses: This Inequity in Higher Education Should Anger Everyone

By Deborah M. | 11/19/2011 12:30 PM CST |

My emerging tutoring passion is assisting ESL college students with their coursework. Most of them must also hold full-time jobs to support themselves and often their families as well. Many require online courses to get college educations. They could not earn a college degree any other way.

Do textbook publishing companies realize how much cultural bias is written into their online ancillary (supplemental) materials? Do teachers of online college courses realize how hopeless these students feel about merely passing a class when their grades depend on online multiple-choice exams consisting...

Get Ready for Success!

By Sarah T. | 1/11/2011 10:50 PM CST |

Happy New Year! Are you ready for the new semester? No matter where you are in your education, first semester in college, or headed into that last one before graduation, being properly prepared will make all the difference!

1. Meet with an advisor and enroll as early as possible.

2. Get your books as soon as you can. Read through the table of contents and flip through he book to get an idea of what the course material will look like.

3. Know your schedule. Will you need to get up earlier then you are now? Now is a good time to start getting in a morning routine.

4. Get a planner (or...
