My college throws these enrichment “parties” all the time. You know, the ones that are supposed to make you a more prepared student and professional— aka, most of us know how to write a ten page paper about pretty much anything since Google, but hardly any of us have the skills to change a tire or do our own taxes or actually get a job with our major. Hundreds of students meet up in the school auditorium to take notes and some big wig from the administration pops up on stage and talks on and on for hours with a well prepared PowerPoint. Anyway, I got some pretty great notes from the “How To: Make Your Own Resume into a Baller Work of Art” party. So below are all the do’s and don’ts so you can make yourself the best college resume out there.
Do make you resume one page. Especially if you are applying to a larger corporation, companies will not have time to read more than as many words as you can appropriately cram into an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. This may be ...

One of my good friends in college has a separate tutor for every class she plans to take over her fall semester teaching her the material during the summer, and also teaching her the material for the spring semester over the winter break. She says it’s a way for her to enjoy her time over the academic year, be able to test over what is basically review, and just focus on the few things she wasn’t able to learn beforehand in her class assignments. It gives her time to play a sport and join clubs, and live more of an extra-curricular life at school in return for the sacrifice of a completely restful summer. Unfortunately, this luxury is not one we can all afford. Most tutors hire on an hourly basis, and the more challenging the class, the more dollar signs are added to the cost.
During high school and college years, the pressure to get high grades, be at the top of your class, get the highest test scores, do the most, and be able to be the best is what compels many students t...

Humanities subjects, also referred to as social sciences, are branches of learning that include language, music, philosophy, art, religion and literature courses. Humanities subjects study the past and present events as well as human behaviors. The best way to define humanities is by humanities occupations. One might say that humanities consists of occupations that concern themselves with contributing to or improving social humanity, or being human. Students wanting to have a degree in humanities would focus their study in improving research and writing skills and communication, as well as their thinking skills.
The tutelage by competent academic teachers would certainly be very important to defining humanities and to humanities occupations themselves. A bachelor’s degree in humanities is a less direct career degree due to the diversity of humanities subjects. A lot of students studying humanities subjects will be concerned how a degree in any of the humanities subjects can...

Are you a high school or college student looking for work? People your age generally end up getting temporary jobs instead of permanent jobs or careers. Many employers offer temporary jobs for students because they are often good workers and can get away with paying them less than permanent workers. However, finding a job is still important for students, especially college students. Many unplanned costs arise in college, leaving students scrambling for money. If you are a college student, you will probably want to take advantage of every opportunity available to you to make some money. Many college students choose to work for themselves and find jobs with hours they can set by listing on websites and connecting with potential clients or people to teach; one such website is
LRNGO.com. In addition to finding work through websites such as LRNGO.com, college students have other options when looking for employment.

The term foreign languages can be used to represent something completely unknown and beyond understanding. Perhaps unfounded, this cliché certainly seems applicable to learning Mandarin Chinese.
The Mandarin language is no easy task, however you cut it. School courses, whether in campus or online, are challenging at best. Many students find learning foreign languages, especially Mandarin, impossible without the help of a native Chinese tutor.
There is just something about having a Chinese tutor of your own sit down with you to explain those terms that make no sense, go over the same thing again and again until you remember it, and translate those elusive phrases into something that you can grasp.
Once you decide that you want a Chinese tutor and begin skimming through the options in your area, you may discover that finding an experienced and versatile Chinese tutor who will meet your needs for expert personalized instruction will take some persistence...

Here’s a joke for the math teacher who is retiring, you could talk about how the teacher will no longer have to put up with attitude from students by telling the following teacher retirement joke:
The teacher asks, “What’s two plus two?” A student answers, “Four!” The teacher responds, “Yes four, that’s good!” The student retorts, “Good? That was perfect!”
You can’t let your teacher leave without a decent number of puns!

Today’s children face a world of diversity; their classrooms mirror the outside world with the diverse ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds. Social study standards are important as they help to ensure children understand the diversity they experience on a daily basis. Interacting with all the diversity without an understanding of it can bring conflict.
Social study standards incorporate political, economic, cultural and environmental studies of past, present and future societies. Social studies for kids help give them knowledge and understanding of the past cultures and societies, so that they can understand the present, and have greater control over the future.
Most educators agree that social studies for kids must not be haphazard or random facts; clear social study standards need to be set. One of the reasons for this is that children lack the conceptual base to integrate new knowledge into their belief system.
Social study standards require ...

When a math logic tutor finds themselves in huge demand, then you know something’s up. Since 2008, when the current economic depression in the western world got on its feet, Americans have been told that companies would like to hire them, but they’re not educated, smart, experienced, or technically trained enough for serious 21st century occupations. Apparently there’s a huge gap when it comes to demand and eligible workers with the necessary skills.
In response, parents are trying harder than ever to adapt to changing career training methodologies, and give their children an edge. Suddenly, online education has exploded in popularity. Kids are able to log in online and talk to their reading assistant, homework partner, or math logic tutor directly from their rooms. Their parents are disillusioned with traditional higher education, and online resources are showing to be as effective, at a fraction of the cost.
