Okay, so I’m really struggling. I have three major exams coming up in two weeks: Organic Chemistry, Linear Algebra, and History of the Roman Empire. They’re all completely different, and I’m feeling totally overwhelmed. I’ve tried making study schedules before, but I always end up abandoning them after a couple of days. I guess I…
Okay, so I’m teaching an online course, and I’m really struggling to keep my students engaged. I think a big part of the problem is they don’t really see how they’re doing, and when they do well, it just feels like another assignment done. In a physical classroom, you can see the progress, and there’s…
Okay, so I’m really struggling here. I have major test anxiety. Like, sweating, heart racing, can’t-remember-my-own-name kind of anxiety. I know I know the material, usually. But as soon as I sit down for a test, it all just… vanishes. I think part of the problem is my studying. I tend to cram the night…
I’m a qualified teacher in the UK with five years of experience teaching Key Stage 2. I have a PGCE and a BA (Hons) degree. I’m considering teaching abroad for a few years, but I’m struggling to find comprehensive information on how much I could potentially earn in different countries based on my experience and…
Okay, so I keep hearing how important "critical thinking" is, especially for problem-solving in the workplace. My manager keeps emphasizing it during team meetings, and it’s even listed as a key skill in a bunch of job descriptions I’ve been looking at. But I’m not totally clear on why it’s so vital. I mean, I…
Okay, so I have a huge exam coming up in Organic Chemistry (ugh, I know!), and I’m really struggling to keep all the reactions and mechanisms straight. I’m thinking about forming a study group with a few friends from the class, but I’m also a little nervous. I’ve never really studied in a group before….
Okay, so I’m trying to understand how grant programs actually work. I know the government, at various levels (federal, state, even local sometimes), gives out grants, but I’m a little fuzzy on why they do it, and what their responsibility is beyond just cutting a check. For example, does the government just decide what fields…
Okay, so I’m taking three online courses right now: Introduction to Psychology, College Algebra, and Intro to Programming with Python. It’s all asynchronous, which means I can watch lectures and do assignments whenever, but I’m finding it REALLY hard to stay motivated and actually learn the material. I’m falling behind in Algebra especially. I think…
