Travelling for Scholarly Journal Research
Travel provides different perspective to every subject. In addition old customs, traditions and lore can lend alternative viewpoints which may be unique to previous data published in scholarly journals. This is true for every facet of research from cooking techniques to medicine to behavioural science. An excellent example is scientific research which shows that cancer rates are lower in third world countries. Understanding why, through first-hand experience, lends credible and interesting elements to any scholarly journal relevant to childcare, medicine, health or psychology. Read More »

Diploma Courses & The Season

Diploma courses in theology are fascinating for anyone, not just religious practitioners. Read More »

Dictating Academic Writing
All that has changed with Smartphones and better transcription technologies. Not every service today will deliver accurate and fast text but, at long last, it is fair to say that some will. Today it is possible to dictate into a Smartphone and receive super accurate academic writing, super fast. Although the best of these academic writing services are still for the most part in beta stage, students can look forward to doing away with laborious note taking and writing in the very near future.

Distance Learning in the 21st Century
Distance learning is more about convenience than anything else, and as an option it has come a very long way since the early days when distance learning was all about television offering instruction in the 1940s. Although distance learning has been going on in some form since the late 1800s there was never an efficient medium for two way distance learning engagement until the advent of teleconferencing in the 1980s.

The Literature Review
A literature review is a body of text that aims to review the critical points of current knowledge using secondary sources. This will include substantive findings in addition to theoretical and methodological contributions in the field. In essence it is a review and analysis of literary works in relation to a specific research topic. The one key point of an effective literature review is that it comprehensively represents the work done in the field to date. An excellent literature review will represent the written views of professionals in the field to a level of great depth. Read More »

Creative Writing Courses
Creative writing courses can lead down several career paths with the three most typical being copy writer, author or editor. This career path is distinct from a journalist career path in several respects. Creative writing courses attract a different type of personality with a typically different skill set, although it is common to cross over from creative writer to journalist and visa-versa.

University Courses
University course choices are changing and have been for about the past 50 years. No longer are the traditional non-vocational subjects at the forefront of choice for university courses. These are being overtaken by the big money spinners and interestingly enough, the arts. Read More »

Student Demographics & Facts
The typical student is typical no more. Student demographics are changing in the States and around the world. Just a few years ago English as a Second Language (ESL or EsoL) was virtually unheard of in public schools and it certainly wasn’t a feature of many tertiary institutes. Today you will be hard pressed to find a school that doesn’t offer ESL. Likewise, for adult education which has boomed over the past couple of decades. Read More »

Global Education
Global education is a fairly new phenomenon in large part driven by the human rights movements of the 50s and 60s and the resultant pressure brought to bear upon governments bodies by international agencies. Not only is global education historically new but the standards of education required to achieve globally acceptable standards for entry into university for example, has been rising steadily.

Journal Articles Publication: Rights and Responsibilities
Publication in an academic journal is a prestigious and academic event which carries with it many rights and responsibilities. The more you cover prior to submission the better chance you will have of having your journal article published. In light of the competitive environment of journal article publications, and some of the confusion surrounding copyright and author obligations, we offer the essential key points in terms of author responsibility and copyright information.

Proofreading: Wout it Your Puck’d!
Seriously, proofreading is a no brainer. Often correct spelling, grammar and syntax will be worth around 10% of a grade and sometimes as much as 20%. That’s easy credit and the reverse is apparent. If you don’t proofread, or have someone else proofread, your work then you risk the downgrade of what might otherwise be an outstanding paper. On the other hand if written content is not your strength the question is; can you afford to skip proofreading? Read More »

MBA Courses
Masters of Administration or MBA courses can lead to virtually anywhere; they are post-graduate degrees which can be applied to corporate environments or to other companies or fields with a business component. If you think about it that means an MBA course will open the doors to any and every industry because every company and organization has a business component. That said the graduate of an MBA course is likely to thrive within a corporate structure where his or her aptitude for numbers and management can come to the fore. Read More »

Citing Primary Sources
A difficult thing to understand at tertiary level is the difference between secondary and primary sources of information and how these should be cited both in-text and in the reference or works cited list. In order to understand and distinguish primary sources from secondary sources it helps to understand what constitutes a secondary source. A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources.

Writing the Narrative Essay
Unlike an argumentative essay the narrative essay expects you to tell your story in prose and it is typical to do this from a personal perspective. Anecdote, experience and personal opinion are all welcome in the narrative essay in contrast to term papers or pure research papers. Another significant difference is writing style or prose. In the narrative essay students are expected to write following a story outline. This means including the usual beginning, end and plot and it also involves character development and setting a scene.

Nursing Courses
Nursing courses are general or specialized and they cover a range of possible specializations. Regardless of whether nursing courses are tailored for critical care, public health or infection control they all share one thing in common, their aim is to train men and women in the care of individuals and their families and by extension the community. As such nursing is rarely, if ever, taught in a distance situation, and hands on during a nursing course means hands on. Read More »

Transcribe your Dissertation?
Your dissertation is potentially the most difficult paper you will ever write. The most trying aspect of writing a dissertation is without a doubt the sheer volume of note taking, transcribing and source referencing that accumulates over the course of researching. Transcribing notes has been an okay (some would say less than okay) option in the past for those who find speaking easier than writing. Or for people like me, who can’t read what’s been written when I go back! Transcribing notes for a dissertation has just become a whole lot easier. Read More »

English Courses and the Alternatives
Increasing numbers of students are travelling abroad for study and so find themselves in the situation where in addition to acclimatizing themselves to a new country and taking on a full course load, they also have to consider whether to take English courses. For some there is just no way around it, without an English course there is no way they will be able to articulate well enough to pass. Read More »

Choosing Argumentative Essay Topics
Forget the old adage about not discussing politics or religion, these make for some of the best argumentative essay topics going. Argumentative essay topics should be controversial to make them compelling. An argumentative essay topic should not be dull; it should have at least two very gripping sides to the story. Read More »

Study and Work Abroad
Students wanting to study overseas may also want to work abroad if they don’t have enough saved or covered for personal expenses. This can be tricky because international visas for study don’t always incorporate the option to work abroad. In some cases this can be quite an administrative and bureaucratic juggle. Read More »

Language Courses
Those of us who were lucky enough to be raised in multilingual homes will be the first to say that the experience is wonderful; it opens doors, it creates opportunity and it is simply a pleasure. Not everyone is as lucky but for them language courses can be the way to go. Sometimes it’s necessary not for pleasure but because English (or another language) is a second language in an adopted country and you simply won’t get by at work or school without some English language courses.

Thesis Preparation
The academic thesis is the crowning achievement of study so don’t leave it to the last minute to consider what your thesis will be, how you intend to write it and where you will source your information. In fact it makes sense to begin a thesis file in order to begin documenting source material. To do that you will need a thesis. Read More »

Persuasive Essay
Being persuasive isn’t about making your point and driving it through with overwhelming statistics and proclamations. A better approach to a persuasive essay, one that will be appreciated by the reader, is the presentation of all points of view, including your own. By making clear all of the arguments for and against a certain position, you will show that you have considered all of the possibilities before drawing a conclusion. Read More »

TAFE Courses
TAFE courses are quite simply another way of saying vocational training, re-training or sometimes adult learning. The acronym TAFE in fact stands for ‘technical and further education’ although the term, as stated, has grown to encompass almost all vocational training and adult learning. It is a term which is primarily used in Australia but which is growing in popularity in the United States. Read More »

Government Loans
Government loans are a popular way to fund tertiary education. There are pros and cons to accepting one but if you have no option because you can’t get scholarships or access family funds, then a government loan will at least offer lower interest rates and favorable repayment terms than other loan types.

Copy Editing
Copy editing is a challenge, especially if you are pressed for time and must undertake this task soon after completion of writing. If this is the case and you are unable to complete an edit with ‘fresh eyes’ it does make sense to employ the services of a copy editing professional. He or she will add final polish to your hard work and ensure that your paper has the professional presentation it requires to keep readers’ attention focused on the content and not the style and polish – or lack thereof. As stated earlier, it is likely to cost less than you think although students with friends or relatives with a strong English footing will probably be able to produce decent copy editing for less or for nothing.

Writing a Thesis
The hardest part of creating a thesis is often simply choosing the thesis subject. As with most things in life it helps to start with what you know. By choosing topic that is familiar or which you have had some research involvement with in the past will give you, the writer, a great head start in both how to begin and also what to write about. The best way to begin writing is to write. Read More »

Online Learning
Now that the Ivy League colleges like Harvard are offering full online student services as well as online learning courses in areas such as biological science, English, anthropology, math and management, amidst an impressive range of others, online degrees have gained real credibility. While in the past some employers might have been ambivalent about a degree obtained online, with schools like Harvard raising the bar that stigma has all but disappeared. Students working at both graduate and post graduate levels are now able to opt for the online learning alternative. Read More »

Powerful PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoint presentations are a powerful tool for making a case or stating a thesis. Used well they have visual and auditory impact that an oral or written presentation just can’t emulate.

Student Loans: FAFSA
One hundred billion dollars has been allocated to student grants and student loans through the current government. FAFSA is the “Federal Application for Student Allowance” and you will hear a lot about it if you are looking for student loan. Just about every student loan requires a FAFSA, even private institutions and some grant applications will ask for this form so it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the requirements of FAFSA.

Is a Post Graduate Degree Important – really?
A few years ago a post graduate degree was optional for those wanting to specialize or perhaps pursue a particular research project. It was great if you could do it but if you couldn’t afford it, or if you simply weren’t keen to carry on with education, it wasn’t too important. You could still be pretty sure of meeting your career aspirations. Today’s economy isn’t quite so rosy. Read More »

The Singularity
Word has it, if you believe in the coming of the Singularity, that within the next 50 years or so, in the words of Ray Kurzweil, “humans will transcend biology.” What that means is that by the time today’s students are old (ish) it is very likely that either we will have some computer components mixed in with our natural biology or, it will mean that our consciousnesses will be scan-able into a cyborg of sorts.

Most of us also have to deal with the fact that it is extremely likely that we have to cope with all four and we most probably always will. Read More »
