The Comparison Essay

Sounds easy right! Write a comparison essay by comparing two or more things, simple. Not so simple. There is more to the comparison essay than just showing how and why this is different from that.

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 »

College/Universities: How to Choose?

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. Read More »

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. Read More »

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. Read More »

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 »

Descriptive Essay

Finely formed words that illuminate and inform are the foundation of the delightful descriptive essay. Seriously, that is a bit over the top but it is true that the descriptive essay wants more creative prose than other kinds of essays. The nature of the descriptive essay lends itself to essays about experience or case study rather than pure fact. As such successful descriptive essays frequently center on themes of personal drama or growth or a cathartic event. Read More »
