5 Second Rule for Term Papers
You’ve probably heard of the 5-second rule for a piece of food that hits the ground. The suspicion contends that food won’t be fully contaminated by bacteria if it’s retrieved from the ground quickly. Writing is very much like that unfortunately dropped food. If its message isn’t clear within 5 seconds, the entire piece is more likely to be left on the ground or worse-thrown out! The opening, or abstract, of writing should make its point and capture the attention of readers within the first few seconds after it's read. Read More »

Is It Editing or Revising?

What is researcher bias and how do I avoid it?
Writing a true research paper, complete with some sort of study or experiment, is required for many degree programs. From psychology to marketing and especially in the hard sciences, the ability to design and execute a research project is an important part of your college education.
But that doesn't make it easy. We all have certain preconceived ideas that can easily slide into our research papers. Those ideas can become researcher bias and eliminate any usefulness that the study has if not controlled for in the experiment. Read More »

Time Management for Online Classes
The reality is that most online classes are intensive and required extreme time management skills due to their compact nature.

When to Write an Essay
A lot of research and commentary has gone into helping people to know ‘how’ to write an essay but equally important and much less talked about is ‘when’ to write an essay. When to write an essay is important from several perspectives. One is purely logistical and involves planning sufficiently in advance to give yourself time to research, write, edit, re-write and then finally to proofread the essay. There are rules of thumb here that can help. The other perspective is more psychological. When to write an essay is as much about being in the right state of mind as it is about the content you produce. The right mindset naturally lends itself to better flow, syntax and articulation.

US Colleges and Universities: Saving & Finance
One of the greatest incentives to come out of the Obama, US colleges and university education push is the promotion of the tuition reimbursement program that compensates employers for putting employees through a college education while continuing to work.

Free Essays
On the other hand, there are reputable companies, like PowerPapers.com, that will let you know what you are really getting right up front. They offer templates, samples and editing of an excellent standard but even they, do not offer free essays. That isn’t to say there aren’t any free essays available online. It is possible to find these; I should clarify this point. It is just that they will not be original or tailor written and often they will not be of very good quality. These are all usual requirements of teachers and professors at all levels of education so these ‘free essays’ won’t do you much good. Read More »

Tips for Studying at College or University
College or university level study is stressful and so the first tip for effective study is to turn off your stress and turn up your mind. Fifteen minutes of jumping on a trampoline, running or brisk walking will give your brain the oxygen it needs to work effectively. Before that, eat a healthy breakfast because mind fuel is an important prerequisite to smart thinking. If you are anxious, (this is great advice for exams too) deep healthy breathing and some left brain/right brainwork will make your mind wide open to the rigours of study. Read More »

Gadgets for Distance Learning
The Apple iPad is a forerunner in providing convenience and accessibility wherever in the world you are. Different iPad versions offer slightly different specs and capabilities so if you are considering an iPad for distance learning it helps to know the differences. These could influence which iPad you buy to study with and it won’t necessarily be the latest version. The generation 3 for example is great for people in 4G coverage areas who may find greater distance learning versatility with the latest Apple offering. However, the gen 3 is slightly heavier and bulkier than the gen 2 or the gen 1 so distance learners taking courses with heavy reading loads my find this iPad a little less comfortable to read from over long periods. This is because of the increased weight and thickness; the gen 3 dimensions are 9.5”h X 7.31”w X 0.37” deep, 1.44 pounds (Wi-Fi), 1.46 pounds (4G). Read More »

What is Distance Learning?
One of the most difficult aspects of distance learning is around how to engage students so that they feel a part of their learning and their school. Distance learning has come a long way from the days of online text and fax or email submissions. Today wiki’s are common, students can meet each other online, discussion posts are par for the course and multimedia is used to engage students on multiple levels. So, while in the past engagement may have been considered an obstacle to distance learning, that is certainly not the case today. Read More »

ESOL Courses
English as a second language now outranks just about any course or program in terms of sheer numbers than any other. A big reason for these impressive figures is immigration to English dominated areas like the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Because pronunciation is vastly different in each of these countries, students of ESOL courses in one country may still struggle to speak and understand the vernacular of another country or sometimes even within the same country. In England for example, the dialect will change even in small geographic areas. It is important therefore, that ESOL courses expose students to regional forms and cultural styles so that ESOL students will be able to discern meaning even when the words, grammar or pronunciation are different to the form of English he or she is taught to speak.

Research Papers
Research papers are all about original research so remembering that is key to creating killer content that profs will love. Many students struggle with the question of how to create original research from data that has already been researched and reviewed. It is a good question. The trick is to remember that by researching as comprehensively as possible one will naturally find unanswered questions or unexplored areas in a field of relevance to your research paper. These unanswered or unexplored questions are the gold nuggets of research. They are the areas in which the student can dig deeply to find information, statistics or case studies that show the research paper topic in a new or interesting light before unknown or unnoticed.

Online College Courses
An interesting thing about online college courses is the definition of college. This can make an investigation of possible online college courses confusing and occasionally can mislead the reader. The internet is a wonderful thing but it can also create confusion where the same word, like college, means something different around the world. College does mean education wherever you may browse in the English-speaking world but you may be surprised to find, when searching for online college courses, that you may be returning to high school if that course happens to be based in Australia.

Definition of Essay
While on first sight the definition of the term essay seems fairly obvious and self-explanatory, once a student reaches tertiary level education the term can actually become quite confusing. At this level there are multiple uses of the term essay and each type carries a differing set of expectations. By far the greatest difference between different types of essays is the type of prose and presentation the teacher or professor will be looking for in the content. By style, we mean of course, the tone of the prose. Read More »
