Line Plot Worksheets

Line Plot Worksheets Most people have trouble visualizing the lists or tables of numerical information. With a line graph we can solve this trouble. We need to place numbers at the lowest part of the graph and then we place X over the right range for every of the data point collected. If variety is recurrent then we place the X on top of it. Line plot provides a visible description of associate outlier. The area between the information and also the outlier is taken into account. We can find the places on the quantity line wherever information is concentrated. Example1: After a field trip to the park, students in Mrs. Millers art class counted the number of leaf rubbings they had made. Using the information in the table draw the line plot . The scales are drawn within the range zero to four. A horizontal number line is drawn on the paper. Then the x is done according to the number of students Example2: The coach of Academic Bowl recorded the scores during a trifle game to see who would represent the college at the regional competition. Use the information plot below. Scores recorded during a trifle game were 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10.

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Hamada Z.

Ask a Law School Admissions Expert Hamada Z. Varsity Tutors brings you insider tips and advice straight from nationally recognized admissions experts. Hamada Z. is the co-founder of Write Track Admissions, a global admissions consulting service. He has counseled hundreds and hundreds of students all over the world and is currently leading the international expansion of Write Track Admissions. Hamada received his law degree from The University of California-Berkeleyand his Masters in International Relations from The University of Cambridge. Being highly knowledgeable in all areas of admissions, Hamada has advice to offer for students going down any path see his Law School insights below. VT: How much time should be set aside to adequately prepare for and complete a Law School application? Hamada: The law school application process is quite onerous, requiring preparation in terms of school selection, letters of recommendation, outlining and drafting the personal statement and diversity statement, revising the law school CV, and possibly drafting a compelling addendum. Undertaking all these materials requires a minimum of 2-3 months of preparation - ideally starting in August and completing the process in late October/early November. VT: What is the single most important thing applicants should focus on with this application? Hamada: By far, the personal statement is the lynchpin to an applicants candidacy. It will dictate their profile and can literally make or break their candidacy. I, for example, spent from June to October drafting and re-drafting my personal statement till I knew it was perfect. How now know it was perfect? Because years later reading it still gives me chills in terms of how personal and critical it was in illustrating who I was and who I hoped to be. VT: What are the biggest mistakes one can make on a Law School application? Hamada: One of the most fundamental mistakes is not adequately explaining any extenuating circumstance in an applicants academic record. An addendum is probably the most often overlooked aspect of the application and yet this single document can truly serve to mitigate a poor LSAT, explain a misguided semester, and/or shed light on how a personal affliction had an sizable impact on the applicants life and scholastic results. VT: What do Law School admissions officers look for most in an applicants essays/personal statements? Hamada: Based on insider feedback from various Admissions Committees (adcoms), I have taken note that they are most interested in accepting students who demonstrate (in no particular order): 1) a strong sensitivity and appreciation for diversity, 2) determination and desire to effectuate change at any level in any space, 3) critical and analytical thinking, and 4) an unyielding sense of determination to be zealous advocate for their future clients, whether it be in the courtroom, boardroom, or in the field. VT: Is there anything on a students application that would automatically disqualify them from being considered for the program? Hamada: When you are applying to a given states bar, you are asked to file a moral character application. One of the main purposes of the application is to ensure the applicant does not engage in activities that would undermine their moral fabric. This same ethical standard is also applied in law school where an applicant who demonstrates questionable moral character and turpitude is simply not tolerated. VT: What about the Law School admissions process differs the most from undergraduate admissions? Hamada: The quality of writing in your application must display much more analytical and persuasive scholarship. You are about to embark on a degree that requires excellent writing skills so there is no room for error here, unlike in your college applications. Moreover, you now need to demonstrate why you are choosing this degree, unlike college where you could have entered undeclared. After all, we are talking about a 3-year and $100K+ commitment. VT: What kinds of things (experience, grades, etc.) might a student lack that would lead you to advise them not to apply? Hamada: While the LSAT is critical, I believe that a 4-hour exam should not derail your life-long dream. Having said that, I think a poor GPA reflects badly in terms of a sense of maturity and the ability to handle the rigor of a law degree. While immaturity in your first or second your of college is understandable, a horrific GPA throughout college without sufficient cause is, frankly, inexcusable in the eyes of top programs. Also, if in response to why law school? the candidate states: I have no other option, I want to make money, I want to save humanity, I automatically flag this as a case that needs further thought. VT: Is there anything you might see on a students application that would quickly put them ahead in the running? Hamada: Other than submitting your application early or having an above 170 LSAT, 3.9+ GPA and/or stellar Letter(s) of Recommendation, I would say the number one thing would be creating a logical flow between who you were as a child, what you studied in college, what activities you undertook and why (scholastic, personal, volunteer, professional), and how this shapes what you want to do in the future vis--vis law. That element of continuity provides added credibility in your candidacy in that you will see law school all the way through en route to a successful career. This is because you have demonstrated maturity, responsibility, and the notion that your actions have a common line of logic and clear thinking. VT: What advice do you have regarding LSAT test prep? Hamada: Practice, practice, practice past test questions under actual timed conditions! Also take a big picture approach to see what the administrators are trying to test. If you can find that pattern, the underlining purpose of the question, you will crack the test and never look back. Also keep in mind if you are scoring in the 150s or less on your first diagnostic exam, then I highly advise you take a test prep course. If you are still struggling, then get a tutor to find the issues you are personally facing. Remember, test prep is a one size fits all teaching method, so one-on-one instruction can be very helpful. It is unfortunate that the LSAT can still dictate your prospects of admissions, but there is hope I am a living testament of that belief, as are numerous candidates we have worked with over the years. VT: What do law school admissions officers look for in recommendation letters? Hamada: One word: Specificity. Adcom loves to see a recommender go into great detail about why you are articulate, interpersonal, analytical, and simply brilliant. Like a legal opinion, the more detail and facts offered, the more likely the letter of recommendation is genuine and coming from someone who is willing to go to bat for your candidacy.

Dont Crack The Singers Guide to Vocal Registers [Audio]

Dont Crack The Singers Guide to Vocal Registers [Audio] Suzy S. As a singer, learning how to adjust your vocal cords is what helps you sing low notes and high notes with ease! This is what happens when we talk about vocal registers. You may have already heard about head voice and chest voice, but what else should you know?  Here, voice teacher  Elaina R.  breaks it down If you’ve ever heard a teenage boy’s voice crack (or heard your own voice break, as you try to reach a high note), you already know something about vocal registers. It may seem like your voice is simply your voice  after all, you only have one set of vocal cords    but vocal registers can  make it feel like your voice is split into several different pieces. Here’s what’s going on in your larynx to cause those changes â€" and what you can do to avoid the dreaded crack in the future. What Are Vocal Registers? Vocal registers are caused by shifts in your vocal cord positioning. A good way to visualize this is with your hands. Try clapping normally, then try “clapping” them using just a portion of your palms. Notice a difference? The same thing happens with your vocal cords. The Three Main Vocal Registers There are three main vocal registers that I want to address first, starting with the lowest and ending with the highest. To get a better idea of what these sound like, watch this funny video that uses pop music to illustrate different registers. Chest Voice  (also known as modal voice) A quick note on the term “chest voice”  it has nothing to do with your chest. I have no idea why it is called that. What it sounds like: Strong, lower. Most people speak in chest voice. Vocal cord production: Thick, fat vocal cords vibrating evenly along the length of the cord. Listen: Head Voice Same deal here  head voice has nothing to do with your head. What it sounds like: Higher, lighter. This is what female opera singers predominantly use. Vocal cord production: Long vocal folds, partially touching (only about a third of vocal cords vibrate during head voice singing). Listen: To learn more about chest voice vs. head voice, take a look at the video below by teacher Melody M: Whistle Tone (also known as flute register) Whistle tone is relatively rare, but I am including it here because I have it and lots of people ask me about it. I consider it one of the three main registers because there is a strong, defined break between whistle and head voice very similar to the one between head and chest voice. What it sounds like: Very high, pure. Mariah Carey is one of the most famous users of this upper register. Vocal cord production: Long vocal folds almost entirely touching; only a small area vibrates, producing sound. Listen: Mixed Registers If you mix blue and yellow paint, you get green. This color mixing applies to vocal registers too. There are middle registers possible between basically all vocal registers. Vocal Fry  (also known as glottal fry) Vocal fry isn’t really a combination of any two registers; instead, it is considered an “extended technique” or even a vocal fault for classically-trained singers. What it sounds like: Low croaking. Vocal cord production: Thick, floppy vocal cords that are barely moving enough to produce sound. Listen: Chest/Head Mix  (also known as middle voice, modal voice, healthy belt, just “mix”) What it sounds like: A mix of head and chest voice, very useful for singing  high notes in pop and musical theater without sounding strained. High belters such as Ariana Grande and Idina Menzel use this a lot. Vocal cord production: Longer vocal folds partially touching (a bit more vibrating space than in full chest voice). Listen: Head/Whistle Mix I don’t know how popular this one is, but it does exist. What it sounds like: Lighter, easier notes at the top of the coloratura soprano head voice range (D-F6 for me); slightly heavier notes normally at the lower end of whistle range (F#-A6 for me). Vocal cord production: Slightly more vocal cord vibration than in pure whistle, but not much. P.S. If you’re wondering where falsetto is, I didn’t forget about it I just didn’t think it merited mentioning as a mixed or true register. Here’s why. So, Why the Cracking? Cracking between registers normally occurs when a singer snaps from one register to the next. So if you’re singing in chest voice and you abruptly switch to  head voice, you might crack. How can you overcome this? In theory, the answer is simple: learn how to sing in mixed registers and glide in and out of registers. I used to be a belter, and I had a horrendous crack between my chest and head voice. Only after years of work am I able to glide smoothly from one to the other and fully exploit my chest/head mix. With lots of practice and the right voice teacher, you’ll get there too. Post Author:  Elaina R. Elaina R. teaches opera voice and singing in Ypsilanti, MI, as well as through online lessons.

4 Things to Do the Week Before the ACT

4 Things to Do the Week Before the ACT The week before the ACT is often full of last-minute study sessions and hard-to-calm nerves. While a little stress around your ACT test date is hard to avoid, there are things you can do to help reduce that stress and prepare for a successful exam experience. Things to do the week before the ACT include avoiding cramming, getting adequate rest, and organizing your test-day necessities. Looking to prepare for your upcoming ACT? Here are four things to do the week before the ACT: 1. Avoid cramming the week before the ACT It might seem like a great strategy to gain as much new knowledge as possible in the time leading up to your ACT test date. However, its more helpful to spend the week before the ACT reviewing materialnot cramming new content. Not only is it less effective to study under such pressure, it also causes more exam-related stress. During the week before your test, focus on reviewing basics for a designated amount of time each day. This can help your knowledge stay fresh until exam day, without overwhelming your brain. [RELATED: What I WIsh I Knew About Taking the ACT/SAT] 2. Get adequate rest the week before the ACT With the ACT just a week away, you may feel tempted to stay up late hitting the books every night leading up to the exam. Dontits important to get enough sleep the week before the ACT in order to ensure youre as rested as possible to tackle the test. Also, as noted above, cramming is rarely a productive method of studying. Instead of staying up late to study, try going to bed an hour or so earlier each night this week. This will help both your brain and body feel rested on test day. 3. Stay active the week before the ACT Getting some extra exercise every day can help you feel refreshed, relaxed, and less stressed. Consider going for a walk, jog, swim, or bike ride during your free time. Additionally, you could destress with your fellow classmates through a game of soccer, volleyball, basketball or handball. Keeping your exercise fun and creative can motivate you to stick to it all week. [RELATED: What is an Average ACT Score?] 4. Get organized the week before the ACT Theres nothing worse than waking up to the sound of your alarm clock on ACT exam day and scrambling to find your testing supplies. Reduce your morning-of stress by getting your test supplies together throughout the week. Make a checklist of the following items, and mark them off as you place them in your bag or backpack: Your printed ACT admissions ticket An official photo ID such as your school ID An eraser Sharpened #2 pencils A calculator Water Healthy snacks such as fruit, vegetables, a sandwich, or nuts [RELATED: How to Avoid Running Out of Time on the ACT] Feeling stressed before the ACT is normal.

Career Advice for Students 5 Questions with Neil Patel of Kissmetrics - Private Tutoring

Career Advice for Students 5 Questions with Neil Patel of Kissmetrics BobbiM Mar 25, 2013 Neil Patel Interview:  Career Advice for Students Often the best help for those in High School or College is someone that can provide clarity and vision for what the heck is at the end of this super long road we call formal education. Ive found out that the best sources of clarity are to hear and receive advice from those that have done it. So, in keeping with our goal of helping students, tutors, and parents, were starting a new series where we pose 5 questions to successful business people, politicians, and those that have made it. Our first interview is with Neil Patel a person who is very well known in internet marketing circles and in entrepreneurship in general. But dont let his baby face and young age fool you: He has successfully started and ran 2 companies already. His School of Hard Knox training can teach the rest of us a thing or two. 1. Hi Neil. Can you share your background with the audience and what youre up to currently? I’m a serial entrepreneur who just enjoys solving problems for the marketing world. I’m currently 27 years old and when I am not working I enjoy watching some TV or just hanging out with friends. As for what I am currently up to, I spend all of my time focusing on KISSmetrics, which is a customer analytics platform. We show companies what people are doing on their website and what causes them to make a purchase or even ask for a refund. 2. Thinking back to your time in High School and College, what classes or training do you suggest for students aspiring to become entrepreneurs one day? I don’t think there are any classes that can help. Or at least there  werent  any that helped me. The best way to learn is by doing. I recommend you just go out there and participate in things like Startup Weekend. And if you like what you see there, you can always jump right in and start a company. 3. So, a tutor is kind of like a mentor. What mentors did you have and what affect did they have on your career or life decisions? My main mentor is a guy by the name of Andy Liu. He taught me a lot about business, how to find good deals, negotiation tactics, how to raise money, and countless number of other things. He had a huge impact on my life, I actually even moved to Seattle because of him. Over the last 7 years he has made me millions of dollars. 4. Did you ever need help from a tutor? Can you share your experience? I have. My mentor (tutor) guided me through tough parts in my entrepreneurial career such as lawsuits or how to get things done when you are strapped for cash. 5. Any final career advice for the budding entrepreneur in High School or College? You just need to go out there and do it. Stop spending you time in the classroom trying to learn about entrepreneurship as that’s the wrong place to do so. You’ll learn a lot more by doing.

Difference between SEEM, LOOK and APPEAR - Confusing Words

Difference between SEEM, LOOK and APPEAR - Confusing Words Today were going to look at 3 confusing words in English Seem, Look and Appear and understand what is the difference between Seem, Look and Appear.  In this post I have for you a short video lesson that explains the difference between them in detail. If you scroll down, you will be able to read a full transcript. Enjoy! Difference between Seem, Look and Appear - Video Lesson Hi there, I’m Harry and I’m here to talk to you today about some English words and vocabulary.And the words I’m looking at today are SEEMS, LOOKS and APPEARS. And all the differences and how we use them.So SEEMS S E E M S, LOOKS L O O K S and APPEARS A P P E A R S.Ok.On the first look at these words, they have the very same meaning. And if you’re learning English at the beginner’s level, or at intermediate level, really I would explain to you that there is no real difference and you can use one instead of the other, you can interchange them as much as you wish.As you get on to learn English at a more higher level, upper-intermediate and beyond that, then they can be some subtle, but small differences to them.So for example:It looks as if he is not coming around this evening.You’ve organised a dinner, your friend is invited, you’ve got some other friends there. And you’re looking at the watch, and it’s gone 8 o’clock and he hasn’t arrived yet so you turn to yo ur other friends and say:Hmmm, it looks like as if Sean isn’t coming.It seems as if Sean isn’t coming. I invited him but he said he would be here.It appears as if Sean isn’t coming. He would usually be here by now.So in that example it’s a party, he hasn’t arrived when you’d invited him.It looks as if he is not coming.It seems as if he is not coming.It appears as if he is not coming.They all have exactly the same meaning. Difference between Seem, Look and Appear - Image to share Don't keep this to yourself. Tell the world! If there is any difference between them, when we look at looks and appears, we’re talking about something visual. Something that we might see.It looks as if Mary is upset.It appears as if Mary is upset.So when we see Mary, she’s sitting there, she is maybe a little sad or a little melancholic. Perhaps, she might be crying but she certainly looks upset.So we can say:She looks upset.She appears upset.SEEMS is an opinion.We use LOOKS and APPEARS when we’re physically looking at something (or somebody). But seems when we’re just giving an opinion.It seems as if the weather is going to change.I was reading in the paper yesterday that there is a cold front coming. So it seems as if the weather is going to change.But if you look out the window,Oh, it looks like it’s raining.OrIt appears to be raining from here. I can’t really see.Well, that’s it for today. But remember to subscribe to my channel and join us on www.englishlessonviaskype.com.And before I forget, if you look at t he link below, you’ll get access to all of our wonderful courses about Grammar, and other aspects of English. And we’ve just launched a really great course about Common Mistakes in English and How to Avoid Them. And it’s really getting a lot of coverage so you can get in there and buy it. So I’ll catch up with you again soon.

Of course, we expect a high level of effort and professionalism from our Instructors and we dont promise that teaching with us will always be easy, but we can promise a transparent, supportive and flexible teaching environment. We are proud to say that we dont discriminate based on age or nationality, and that we have well over 70 different nationalities represented among our Instructors we just care about your aptitude, experience and enthusiasm.
