Part-time students now entitled to student loans

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/08/part-time-students-now-entitled-to.html[/postlink]
Complete your application to secure funding in time for the start of term.


For the first time students who are studying part-time or through theOpen University can apply for a student loan to cover the cost of their tuition fees.


This means that, just like those studying full-time, part-time students no longer need to pay upfront for their studies.


You don't need to pay the loan back until you are earning at least £21,000. Repayments start in the April four years after the start of your course or the April after you leave your course - whichever comes first.


To qualify for a loan, you must be studying at a course intensity of at least 25% of the full-time equivalent per year. This means you cannot take more than four times the time it would take to complete the course if studied full time – up to a maximum of 16 years.


If you're thinking of applying, it's a good idea to send off your forms as soon as possible to ensure your loan arrives before the start of term


How to apply:


You can complete your application by downloading a form from theStudent Finance England website or by asking your university or college for an application pack




If you're starting at the Open University, you can find more information about the ways to pay for part-time study here






Why maths should be compulsory for all A-level students

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/08/why-maths-should-be-compulsory-for-all.html[/postlink]

Studying maths until the end of sixth form would benefit both scientists and non-scientists.


While some thanked the heavens they had escaped the proposals, others labeled the report ridiculous, pointing out that had they been forced to take a maths A-level, they may not have made it to university.
It's not hard to see why. Maths is seen as difficult and intimidating by many. Even I, a natural sciences student, was able to say "I hate maths" in 3 different languages well before I'd mastered calculus. But despite all this, I think the proposals are a good idea.
Few students have decided what degree course they want to study by the time they're 16. Lack of advice, even in good schools, means that many are unaware that if they don't sign up to maths, their choices are immediately restricted.
Admittedly, not all science degrees currently demand a maths A-level, mainly because there are so few candidates equipped with the qualification that they can't afford to turn people down on this basis.
However maths is core to modern science and a student who has not studied it post-16 is at a huge disadvantage. As a physicist, maths was often the hardest part of my course.
Maths enables you to understand the statistics used in the news, make sense of the economy, medicine and law. Without the capacity to deal with numbers you're placed at a disadvantage socially and financially. Unfortunately, GCSEs don't go far enough.
On a practical note, if students feel they are unlikely to achieve a good grade but don't want to jeopardise their Ucas application, maths could be taken as a fourth or fifth subject.
A-level maths teaching is vital if we are to to improve the state of science in our universities. Given the prominence of maths in adult life, it wouldn't hurt the non-scientists either.





Student Money saving Tips...

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/08/student-money-saving-tips.html[/postlink]
While you are in school, and maybe even right after you graduate, you are going to be on a tight budget. Looking for little ways that you can save money will prove to be very important during your school years and beyond. To help you out, here are 10 easy ways for students to save money: 


Stop Buying on Impulse
                                                                               Impulse shopping can be very tempting while out and about. The problem with this is that you end up blowing money on stuff you don't really need, and sometimes on stuff you don't really want. Before making a purchase, make sure it is truly necessary.










Hide the Credit Cards
                                                                                                Many students give into the temptation to buy now and pay later. Unfortunately, these spending habits can come back to bite you. If you find that you can't charge responsibly, hide the credit cards until you learn a little restraint. 










Give Up Bad Habits 
                                                   Everyone has at least one bad habit. Maybe you smoke, drink Cosmos like no tomorrow, or buy expensive coffee before class. Whatever it is, cut it out. You'll be surprised at how much money you save


Stop Keeping Up with the Joneses 
                                                                                           Just because your roommate or your pals down the hall have a seemingly endless allowance, it doesn't mean you do too. Try to avoid keeping up with the Joneses and stay true to your budget. 




Find Bargains
                                                           When shopping, look for clearance items or two-for-one bargains, buy used books instead of new, and order the special instead of something off the menu. If you can find a bargain every time you go shopping, you will save more money than you ever imagined.










Buy Machine Washable Clothes 
                                                                                   You're in college. You don't need a dry cleaning bill! Buy clothes that you can wash yourself or take home to mom. If you must buy dry clean only clothes, try to limit how often you wear them. 










Take Hand-Me-Downs 
                                                          Whether it is a used book or previously worn clothes, there is no shame in taking hand-me-downs. If somebody offers you something and you can use it, take it gratefully. When you're making more money, you may be able to someday do the same thing for someone else who will be just as grateful. 








Stay Home
                                    While it can be nice to get out of the dorm every now and then, staying at home is much cheaper. Instead of going out for the night, invite a few friends over for movies, games, gossip, or snacks.




See a Matinee 
                                             Going to the movies with a few friends can be an expensive outing. Instead of going at night, try catching a matinee. Daytime shows are usually half the price of their nighttime counterparts and can be just as much fun.










Go to the Library 
                                                        Did you know that most libraries offer you the chance to check out DVDs, CDs, and other forms of entertainment free of charge? Well, they do, and by taking advantage of this resource, you can eliminate the money you spend on buying CDs and renting movies.

Describe the features, it could be anything from the light, the background or anything that you find interesting in that picture. You will be surprised at how much you can see in a picture when you do it!


2. If you are using a computer, first write a story or an essay by hand, than type it on a computer. Writing by hand will give you three benefits;  
(1) it will prepare you for essay tests
(2) it will improve your handwriting 
(3) it will encourage you to think in different ways.

Reading a large number of material  will not only increase your vocabulary but also will give you a sense of writing to achieve something.


4. Writing is a skill so enjoy while writing and it should not be a hectic or problematic.


5. Make sure that your writing is well-organized. Poorly ordered writing may not read well or may even confuse your readers. When you go from paragraph to paragraph, check for consistency. Try to organize your paragraphs into some sort of logical order. In a convincing essay, save your best argument for last. Similarly, in a quality article, save the most interesting information for the last or the beginning.

6. Synonyms should be used with care. There is no fast way to sound ignorant than to use a word as the wrong part of speech or in the incorrect context.


7. look for words in a dictionary and make sure you understand the meaning before using them


8. Do not copy. Understand that your references are essential in essays. They even prove reliability to your research. Carefully use words and phrases from the original text. You may need to use references or citation marks around certain words that you use from the original, depending upon how common the words are.

How to deal with study problems

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-deal-with-study-problems.html[/postlink]
Are you having study problems? Confused about what is expected? Your grades lower than usual? 
Students are often surprised to find that there are cultural differences in approaches to education and learning.
                 For example, the criteria for writing papers or writing reports may be different from what you have been used to. Being assessed on tasks such as making a presentation or participating in a discussion group may be new for you.








Areas where you may need to develop new skills 

  • The academic writing style 
  • Making presentations Doing group assignments  
  • Participating in group discussions
  • Thinking critically
  • Working in English 
          Below are tips for students. They can gain benefit after study that:


1. Learn from your mistakes:
                                                              If you receive a lower grade than expected make an appointment to discuss your assignment with your lecturer or tutor. Be open to a new approach and accept that the criteria may be different from what you are used to. Find out what you could do to  to get a better grade next time.


2. Attend a study skills workshop:
                                                                       Workshops for international students are held regularly in Plexus by the International Student Support Services. They cover topics such as Understanding the Dutch Study System, Strategic Studying and Time Management. 




3. Develop a circle of study friends:
                                                           A group of study friends can be invaluable for comparing notes, sharing study materials, discussing assessment tasks, hearing tips, keeping up-to-date with announcements and staying motivated.




4. Give yourself time:
                                    You may need a  few months to adjust to the new system and learn new skills. It can be a good idea to let parents and others at home know that  because of the different language and unfamiliar approach your grades may be initially lower.   Many students find that developing a new perspective on learning is one of the valuable experiences of studying abroad.


5. Talk to a student counselor:
                                                    If you are becoming overly anxious or stressed about your study it may be helpful to talk to a student counselor. A few talks with a trained counselor can help you clarify the issues you are dealing with and find some solutions.



                                  










Future Plan

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/07/future-plan.html[/postlink]
Most student have a problem in there future plans. Future plans depends on your studies, Suppose
if you are good in Chemistry so you can become a chemist. If you good in science then you can become a scientist

Career In Chemistry:
                                  The career options in chemistry are practically endless! However, your employment options depend on how far you have taken your education. A 2-year degree in chemistry won't get you very far. You could work in some labs washing glassware or assist at a school with lab preparation, but you wouldn't have much advancement potential and you could expect a high level of supervision. A college bachelor's degree in chemistry (B.A., B.S.) opens up more opportunities. A 4-year college degree can be used to gain admittance to advanced degree programs (e.g., graduate school, medical school, law school). With the bachelor's degree, you can get a bench job, which would allow you to run equipment and prepare chemicals. A bachelor's degree in chemistry or education (with a lot of chemistry) is necessary to teach at the K-12 level. A master's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or other field opens up far more options. A terminal degree, such as a Ph.D. or M.D., leaves the field wide open. In the United States you need at least 18 graduate credit hours to teach at the college level (preferably a Ph.D.). Most scientists who design and supervise their own research programs have terminal degrees. Chemistry is a part of biology and physics, plus, there are lots of categories of chemistry! Here's look at some of the career options related to chemistry



  • Agrochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Astrochemistry
  • Biochemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Food Chemistry
  • Paper Industry
  • Patent Law
  • Perfume Chemistry
  • Teaching
  • Textile Industry
Career in Mathematics:

Most people have a limited knowledge of the range of careers in mathematics. In fact, there are many interesting and unique jobs pertaining to the field of mathematics. Below is a list of major areas where mathematical professions are common. When you click on a heading, you will be brought to a web page containing a description of how mathematics is involved in the field. There will also be a list of sources where you can find informational career descriptions.

Career in Physics:
                             Physics offers challenging, exciting, and productive careers. As a career, physics covers many specialized fields -- from acoustics, astronomy, and astrophysics to medical physics, geophysics, and vacuum sciences.

Physics offers a variety of work activities-lab supervisor, researcher, technician, teacher, manager. Physics opens doors to employment opportunities throughout the world in government, industry, schools, and private organizations.

Career in Doctorate: 
                                                                   After providing diagnoses, a doctor treats patients who are suffering from diseases and injuries. A doctor is also called a physician and may be either an M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine). M.D.s and D.O.s both use traditional treatment methods such as drugs and surgery, but D.O.s emphasize the body's musculoskeletal system, preventive medicine and holistic patient care. Doctors can be primary care physicians or they may specialize in a particular area of medicine such as obstetrics, pediatrics, psychiatry or anesthesiology.


Educational requirement for Dc.
                                                      To become a doctor one must spend four years in college earning a bachelor's degree. This must be followed by four years of medical school and then three to eight years of internship and residency depending on specialty.



Advancement Opportunities 

                                              Gaining experience in a specialty or subspecialty and developing a good reputation among patients and peers, can help a doctor advance in his or her career. Many start their own private practices or join already established ones. Other experienced doctors teach residents and new doctors while some take on managerial positions in hospitals or clinics.

Job Outlook

                     According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of doctors is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2018. The best opportunities will be in rural and low-income areas.

How to Prepare For Exams? :-(

[postlink] https://studyandhealthcaretips.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-prepare-for-exams.html[/postlink]
Most student hesitate from study by exams tension.
So, I am presenting final exams preparing tips for all those studentz
who run away from study in exams.




Preparing for the Final




  1. Prepare a written schedule for yourself indicating when you will study for each test. Leave some time in your schedule for exercise and relaxation, too.
  2. If the professor offers a study guide, use it.
  3. If the professor offers a review session for the exam, go to it.
  4. If you study well in groups, form a study group.
  5. Know if the final is comprehensive (covering everything since the beginning of the semester or quarter).
  6. Find out what kind of exam it will be. You’d study differently for a multiple-choice (Scantron) final than an essay (blue book) one.
  7. If the final will be taken online, find out if you have to go to a specific computer lab on campus at a specific time, or if you’ll be allowed to take the final on your own computer. Also find out how many chances you will have to take the final. Assume it’s just one chance unless you hear differently from the professor.
  8. If you have your previous exams available, scour the exams for things that you think will be on the final. Flag your notes by highlighting or using Post-It notes.
  9. Don’t pull an all-nighter. (Though some people are successful with studying all night and then taking a test with no sleep, I wouldn’t recommend you try it for the first time on a final exam.)
  10. Calculate your grades in the class. Determine what score you will need to get the grade you’re hoping for in the class. You may discover that you can’t possibly get an A, no matter how well you do on the final, but to get a B, you only need to get a few questions right.
  11. Consider creating a detailed final exam battle plan.



On the Day of the Final

  1. Eat a meal and drink water.
  2. Don’t overdo it with the caffeine.
  3. Know what to bring with you to the final. Do you need a blue book? A Scantron? (And if you need a Scantron, which specific type do you need?) A pencil? A pen?
  4. Are food and drinks allowed in the classroom where your final will be? Sometimes, the rules are different for exam days than other days.
  5. Even if you don’t usually wear a watch, take one with you to the final. It’s unlikely you will be able to look at your cell phone to check the time during the final.


During the Final

  1. For a paper-based exam, read through the entire final exam before you start answering any questions at all. This way, you will know what you’re facing.
  2. If the final is an online exam, find out if you can revisit questions, or if after you click past a question you cannot go back to it again.
  3. If you’re using a Scantron and you skip a question to finish later, make sure you’re answering your questions next to the correct answers. (When I took my GRE to get into grad school, I skipped a question on the first page of the booklet, but never skipped a number on the Scantron. When I realized it, I only had 10 minutes to go back and put the answers with the correct questions. Talk about stress!)
  4. Keep a close eye on the time you have allotted.
  5. Some students benefit from answering the most difficult questions first, while others do better completing all the easier ones. Do what works for you.


After the Final

1. Do not share with other students what was on the final exam. In most universities, this is a violation of the    honor code.
2. Take a breath, relax, then forge ahead to the next final.
