Why Study Latin

Why Study Latin Why Should You Learn The Latin Language? ChaptersStudying Latin To Understand  EuropeLearn Latin To Master EnglishLearn Latin To Ace All Exams“Nescire autem quid antequam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. (To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.)” ? Marcus Tullius CiceroTo learn ancient languages such as ancient Greek or Latin is often viewed as only reserved to students going to the best schools, often in the private sector and rarely state-run  schools.And to many learning Latin, an extinct  and seemingly useless language is just a waste of time and energy.However, studying the Greco-Roman world gives you the tools to understand the state of Europe today. Knowing the history of the continent from its antic period and studying the Roman civilisation will give you a great insight into how our culture, language and country emerged.St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is covered in Latin, which remain the official language of the Church still to this day.Today, still 10,000 students take Latin for their GSCEs. However, following budget cuts, some schools that have been teaching Latin for many years have found themselves  incapable of continuing those classes.Some scholars and academics justifiably fear that Latin will slowly stop being taught in school and emphasise  its importance in English, even though the language spoken in the United Kingdom isn't a Romance language.So Superprof will outline why you should learn Latin.Computer Science: CS, engineering, etc., especially jobs that require programming knowledge, are excellent career paths for people who have studied Latin. Why? Because Latin gives you a great understanding of ANY language, and computer programming uses its own set of languages whose rules are a lot easier to understand with a Latin background!Medicine: A background in Latin makes a lot of medical terminologies a lot easier, and tells medical schools that you are serious about academics and not afraid of memorization.Law: Law schools love to get applications from classicists - success in the study of Latin proves that you have a mind capable of learning and using the kind of detail you will be required to deal with as a lawyer. It doesn't hurt to already know all those Latin terms, either!Education: Like Mr Carruth, you too could end up teaching - and not just Latin; a Classical education helps prepare you for English, history/social studies, geography, and is a great basis for starting other languages.Find a Latin tutor here.The University of Cambridge in England is one of the oldest one in the world and has been teaching Latin since it was founded.

A Student Review of Brown University

A Student Review of Brown University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Joshua is a Boston tutor specializing in English tutoring, Middle School Math tutoring, SAT Critical Reading tutoring, and a number of other areas. He is currently a senior at Brown University majoring in Classics and Slavic Studies. See what he had to share about Brown University: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Joshua: At Brown University, we have what is called an open campus. This means that we are in the middle of the city, and public streets cross through campus. However, the majority of the campus buildings are on College Hill, which has developed into one of the safest, most heavily residential areas in the city. Every city has its risks, of course, but for the most part, if you walk around at night alone even downtown you will be fine. We also have a dedicated campus security department. Providence is serviced by a public bus system that stretches across all of Rhode Island, and it is free to Brown University students. Campus itself is on the small side, so almost every building is within easy walking/biking distance, but if students wish to go downtown, they can use the bus. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Joshua:This depends on the specific instructors, but my general experience has been very positive. Professors and teaching assistants will set up limited office hours at the beginning of a semester, but they are generally very willing and flexible in their efforts to meet with students who cannot make those times. Academic advisers typically do not hold regular office hours for their advisees they meet with them on an as-needed basis. But they take their responsibilities seriously, and they make an effort to meet with students as soon as they can. There are always exceptions to the rule, but if someone is stuck with an unresponsive adviser, the procedure for switching to a new adviser is straightforward and easy. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Joshua:For the most part, I would characterize dorm life as whatever you make of it. You probably will not become life-long best friends with your freshman roommate, but I have heard very few stories of students who had such toxic relationships with their roommates that they had to switch. It will likely be on the spectrum somewhere between neutral and positive. The first week of school is especially crucial for building relationships within your dorm there are multiple mixers and events to foster a sense of community, and the more socially confident residents will likely form social circles during this time. After that, it is easy to come under the false assumption that it is too late to break in and join your neighbors, but this does not have to be true. Almost all Brown University students especially as freshmen are very friendly, polite, and generally excited just to be there. If you put yourself out there and make an effort to spend time with people, you will probably make so me friends. You can also make plenty of friends through classes and extracurriculars! Dorm locations for freshmen have been consolidated now to group all freshmen into one of two areas on campus, both close to at least one of the two major cafeterias. None of the dorms are that impressive, to be honest. They are sort of what you would expect from a college dorm. Upperclassmen have slightly better options, but most of the dorms are on the old side and reflect that in their design. Do not expect a hotel, but you can definitely personalize your room to make it more homey. Dining options follow the same general logic as above: students can always find something to eat, but they generally try to mix it up so they do not become bored. Brown University does offer several types of dining halls standard cafeterias, library carts (for coffee, muffins, etc.), and smaller, late-night options. The meal plan is overpriced, of course, but you learn to make the most of the complicated system of credits and points. No dorm is too far from any dining hall, and food is available in at least one dining hall from roughly 7:00 am to 2:00 am. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Joshua:I believe the largest concentrations are Economics and International Relations, but Brown University gives exceptional support to all its concentrations. It even allows students to create independent concentrations! Brown University is truly a liberal arts school, even if more and more students are drifting toward STEM concentrations. My only knock against Brown Universitys system is that it does not allow for minors. I double-concentrated in Classics and Slavic Studies, but I also took multiple theater courses on the side. That is another great thing about the Brown University curriculum, actually its an open curriculum, meaning there are no core requirements. Students can fill their schedules entirely with classes they want to take. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Joshua:I touched on this a little bit before when talking about dorms, but making friends as a freshman is simultaneously one of the easiest and hardest things I have ever done. The entire transition to college is often overwhelming, so the prospect of immediately beginning to form some of the strongest friendships of your life can be very daunting. I am not the most talkative person, so I usually take a little while to grow into a friendship. My roommate and I got along fine, but we had different enough interests and personalities that we never clicked. I actually joined the crew team during the fall of my freshman year, and I used that as my primary social outlet (before quitting in the spring to focus on classes). My core group of friends did not start to form until the start of my second semester, but all it took was taking one friend up on an invitation to hang out with some of his friends. Through him, I met some great people, and though only a few of them became lasting friend s, I made more friends through them. College and life, I suppose is very much a game of Six Degrees of Separation. It takes some effort to make and maintain friendships, but you can continue to do so throughout all four years, so it helped for me to keep that in mind those first few weeks. Greek life has a fairly small social presence at Brown University. This is due to an agreement made decades ago with a school president who forced all social houses to relocate to campus housing. The lack of independence forces them to abide by campus rules more strictly than if they were off-campus. Most Greek members who I have met have had very positive experiences with their respective fraternities or sororities, and our program houses are predicated upon groups of students with a common interest (e.g. African culture and heritage, or computer technology). The Greek houses do throw parties (which have to be pre-approved by the school), and they are often quite fun and popular. But as students social networks grow, they more frequently tend toward parties thrown by people they know. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Joshua:Brown Universitys reputation as an Ivy League school is not lost on corporate recruiters, and we have multiple, large career fairs and recruiting sessions populated by many reputable companies and nonprofits. The CareerLAB, as it is called, is an excellent resource that most students probably do not take enough advantage of. They will help with resumes, cover letters, and tips for interviews and LinkedIn profiles, but they also host specific events and workshops oriented toward preparing students for case studies or particular careers. They also help with providing resources to search for jobs. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Joshua:Although there are many study spots on campus, there are relatively few that are actually designated as such. We have two main libraries, two smaller libraries, and scattered sections in other campus buildings. That said, students do not lack for desks or tables when they wish to study, except sometimes during finals week. Depending on what class a student is taking, they might also work on a project in the Engineering or CIT (Center for Information Technology) building where they have specific resources more readily available to them. Some students also study in their rooms, but dorm lounges have never been a common study spot in my years at Brown University. They are generally too small and uncomfortable to serve as anything other than late-night hangouts. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Joshua:Brown University tour guides like to talk about efforts to make sure students are not in a bubble on campus (i.e. isolated from the rest of the city), but that is definitely the case for many people. It is easy enough to get caught up in everything going on on campus that the prospect of wandering downtown for anything besides shopping or food seems burdensome. This is a testament both to Brown Universitys ability to provide a social life through its student life and extracurriculars, but also to students general lack of knowledge about the rest of the city. This is a pity, because Providence is a great city. It actually has a very vibrant arts scene best symbolized by WaterFire, a seasonal art installation on the Providence River. Providence also has fantastic restaurants, as well as other generally interesting things going on. I myself have more exploring to do. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Joshua:The student body is growing every year, I believe, but it is somewhere between 6,000-7,000 undergraduates, with a total enrollment of between 8,000-9,000 (including graduate school and medical school). This means the emphasis is definitely on the undergraduate experience. One way that I like to describe Brown University is that it is just small enough that if you are walking through campus, you will probably see at least one person you know, but you will also see new faces in almost every class you take. Class sizes vary depending on whether it is a lecture or a seminar, but most professors know how to teach to their class size. I have been in classes with five students and classes with close to 200 students. The worst class size is probably the small lecture class, where the class is small enough that you can pick out every student present, but the teacher lectures because there are too many students to have a discussion-based class. But that is only my preference, of course. Some friends of mine really dislike seminars. It all depends on the professor, ultimately. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Joshua:I admit that I was not always a model student in college. Most students arent. Classes are important, but college is an experience in many other ways, as well. The most important thing you can learn is to balance priorities and interests. In any case, I took Introduction to Neuroscience my sophomore year, because Brown University has an excellent Neuroscience department, and I had heard good things about the class. It was supposed to be interesting, but easy very much simple memorization. I opted to take it pass/fail (which is possible at Brown University), and I went to maybe half of the lectures before the first midterm, reading along in the textbook at home. (Midterms at Brown University do not describe an exam midway through the term, but rather any major unit test; this class had three midterms and a final.) As the semester wore on, I grew less and less engaged with the material, and I gradually showed up to class and did the reading less often. My subsequent midterm studying consisted of pulling all-nighters to learn some or most of the material for the first time. I had to pull the biggest cram session of my life studying before the final to actually pass the class (to the continuing amusement of my Neuroscience concentrator friends who all got As in the class, of course). So although I got the credit and the grade I wanted, I ultimately learned very little from the class, and I regret that. It was a waste of my time, energy, and money. I should have either focused on finding a class that interested me more or buckled down and tried to make the most of this one. Check out Joshuas tutoring profile.

How To Find Arc Length

How To Find Arc Length We know Arc is a segment of a circle. In other words we can say Arc is a curve. We Know Arc length is the distance along the curved line. We can say length of an arc is the part of the circumference. We can call the angle which is made by the end points of the arc with centre as central angle. We know the formula to find the arc length that is Arc length = (/ 360o) x 2r Here, r is the radius and is the central angle. Example 1: Find the arc length if the radius of the arc is 8 cm and its central angle is 30o. Solution: We can write r = radius of the arc = 8 cm = central angle = 30o The formula to find arc length = (/ 360o) x 2r We can plug the r and values in the above formula. Then we have arc length = (30o/360o) x 2 (22/7) x 8 = (1/ 12) x 16 x (22/7) = 4.19 cm Example 2: Find the arc length of a circle with diameter 12 cm and the central angle 180o. Solution: from the problem, we can write r = radius of the arc = (1/2 ) diameter = (1/2) x 12 cm = 6 cm = central angle = 180o The formula to find arc length = (/ 360o) x 2r We can plug the r and values in the above formula. Then we have arc length = (180o/360o) x 2 (22/7) x 6= 18.85 cm

10 Ways to Finish an Email in English ?? - Learn English with Harry

10 Ways to Finish an Email in English ?? - Learn English with Harry Welcome back to my English grammar lessons. This is Harry. So what have I got for you today? Well, Ive got some ways to finish an email in English.I have to admit, this is not the most exciting thing Ive ever done, but these are really practical suggestions for you. Its amazing how many times people ask me: How do I start and how do I end an email in English?So were going to focus today on the end of the email.Its not the same as a letter because in most cases, letters are quite formal. But when were using email, even if were using them to the boss or somebody a little bit more important than ourselves then its always informal.   10 Ways to Finish an Email in English Some of it is the same as we use them letters, but sometimes its different and sometimes people dont sign off on their emails at all.So the first one is just the word REGARDS.So youve finished whatever youre saying and then you just put regards, Harry. So its just a very, very simple way.Usually that means that you know the person reasonably well.Number two is a little bit similar to number one. Here were using the expression BEST REGARDS or KIND REGARDS.Now, this is very similar to the letter format, but again, its about people that you know, and it might be somebody on a personal level rather than on a business email.Best regards, HarryKind regards, DadBest regards, MumWere just giving the person our best wishes for whatever we have happened to tell them. So I say its very, very informal but you dont like to sign off too formally. So you want to give something less formal but not too informal. So best regards or kind regards.Number three on my list is ALL THE BEST.So here, its real ly for somebody who is not so close to you, but youd like to be kind. You like to be polite, okay? So youd use this sort of expression all the best. So it means all the best for the future. All the best for your business. All the best in your adventure, whatever it might be. Just all the best. Meaning your best wishes, youre giving it all to the person that youre writing to.So all the best Harry and sign off and press that button and off the email goes, okay.And here we are with number four and number four is BEST WISHES. Now here again, this is impersonal in some ways. You dont know the person so well that definitely not a close friend, that definitely not a member of your family, but theres somebody that you, you wish again to be polite so best wishes Harry.So it could be to members of your team in the office. It could be something, somebody thats is supplying you with some particular service.  Or indeed, it could be somebody that you are dealing with in a business and theyre no l onger going to be your account manager or theyre no longer going to be the main contact in that business.  So you write them a nice note to say:Oh, its been great working for you over the last few years. I really wish you the very best for your future career. Best wishes. 10 Ways to Finish an Email in English Don't keep this to yourself, tell the world Okay, were halfway there. So this is number five and number five is THANKS or indeed MANY THANKS.So this is usually a signature you would use over a series of a number of emails that youve been writing back and forth to somebody playing a little bit of ping pong.So youve asked them a question, theyve given you some information, youve asked them for something else, theyve given you some

How Students Can Apply for and Land a Great Part-Time Job

How Students Can Apply for and Land a Great Part-Time Job Pixabay.com The first step in beginning your job hunt is to have a resume prepped and ready to go. In order to get started on the process of making your resume a wonderful one, you can go on your schools website or call and see if your school offers resume workshops and critiques at their career center. If so, bring in a printed copy of your resume and ask for help in making it as great as it can be. Make sure your resume contains all of the required elements, such as your current address, a working phone number that you’d like potential employers to call you on, a list of any previous employers, education, and any skills and accomplishments that will set you apart from the other applicants. For more tips on how to build a standout resume, Monster.com offers a helpful list on their website. After you’ve prepared your resume, it’s time to start doing the fun part: searching for the job! You might find that you prefer the old-school way of finding a job: going into the business and inquiring if they’re in need of help. This is a good way to go about finding a job. The employers will have a chance to pair a name with your face and it gives you time to leave a great first impression. Dont be downhearted if the employees there simply hand you their business card and tell you to apply online. Its often easier for employers to sort through electronic applications versus paper applications. There are those few rare stores, however, that will hand you a paper application and allow you to start filling it out right then and there. So, if you think it’s a waste of time going into the business, don’t be too quick to discard the idea. There’s also the online path of finding a job. Here is a list of free online job boards where you can search through dozens of jobs in your area: • Monster.com • Indeed.com • Snagajob.com • SimplyHired.com All of these websites offer an easy way to search through job listings that companies post. You can narrow your search by selecting that you only wish to browse through part-time postings. You can also type in a search term after that to specify what kind of job you’re looking for (ex: waiter, hotel, tech, etc.). Once you’ve found a job that you’re interested in, click on the “apply” link and then follow the instructions that the company posted on how to fill out their applications. Most times, you’ll be linked directly to the company’s website where you can apply online. Don’t forget to attach that shiny resume to your application! The last step is the interview process. If you receive a phone call or an email back from an employer that says theyre interested in hiring you, the next step will be to work out a day where you can meet with them for an interview. Choose a day where you’re not going to have to rush either before or after the scheduled time of meeting. Arrive 15 minutes early, dressed in your best business attire and with printed resume in hand. To avoid wrinkling, a manila file can be used to carry your resume in. Pexels.com During your interview, make sure to relax and be yourself. Smile, be honest, and maintain eye contact. You’ll be asked questions that allow the employer to find out more about you. Some examples of these questions are: • What do you consider to be your greatest strength? • What do you consider your biggest weaknesses? • What’s your dream job? • What would you do if you had an angry customer? • Do you consider yourself a leader? • Why do you want this job? • Why should we hire you? Answer questions like these to the best of your ability. Remember: remain humble and honest but avoid putting yourself in a bad light. Avoid saying your “greatest weakness” is anything that will make employers second-guess if you’re the right choice for the position you are wanting. It usually takes a few days to hear back from the business after the interview. Don’t be nervous; wait patiently and you’ll get that phone call you’re waiting for. If a week or more has passed, it’s alright to call and check on where they’re at in the hiring process. Most employers will appreciate your excitement about the position. After you land a job, pat yourself on the back! You did a lot of work to secure your new job! Happy job-hunting, everyone!
