What is it Like to Attend California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

What is it Like to Attend California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Toni earned her bachelors degree in hospitality management from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. As a tutor, she specializes in PSAT tutoring, study skills tutoring, and many other subjects. Read on for her college experience interview about her time at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Toni: California State Polytechnic University, Pomonas campus is beautiful! Located in Los Angeles County, its hard to wrap your mind around such a hidden gem. The campus is suburban with ample opportunity to get to Orange County or downtown LA quickly. The security on campus is great. There wasnt a moment I was too afraid to walk to classes. The university does offer security escorts for students and staff who would like to be accompanied during the day and at night. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Toni:What comes to mind is a professor who once said, The professors and staff will always be there for the students; the students need to utilize the staff because we do not beg you to come to our office hours. With this being said, the teaching staff and supporting staff are available either with open door policies or scheduling appointments to meet. Utilize the staff! How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Toni:When I was a freshman, I lived on the honors floor, which was amazing because it was quiet enough for me to study. The commons are incredibly close to the dorms and have great food options. The resident advisers are constantly preparing and putting on events for the students who live in the dorms. The suites are the other on-campus living option. They are farther from the commons, but the meal plan options encourage dining in that part of campus through the combination of meal plans and meal points. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Toni:The university is known for its design and engineering programs. I went to the university for hospitality management because the Collins College of Hospitality Management is well respected. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona prides itself on learning by doing, so all majors have a hands-on aspect intertwined into their classes. For example, instead of doing book work on how customer service should be done, we had to go to a hospitality establishment a minimum of three times and rate the service, leadership, and cleanliness based on a rubric we were presented. 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? Toni:Personally, I thought meeting people was going to be extremely hard because, at the time, I was extremely shy. However, the universitys activity services do a phenomenal job with icebreakers, putting on a variety of events, and encouraging student involvement. I made a core group of friends I still interact with daily. Greek life and non-Greek life is balanced. The Greeks dont shame non-Greeks for not being a part of their world. How helpful are the Career Centerand other student support services? Toni:Honestly, I never used the main Career Center because Collins College of Hospitality Management had a fabulous career coordinator who was constantly working with organizations, and even individuals, for career placement. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona has a large career fair for the main university, and then each college has their own fair where the participants are more specialized to the college. For instance, my college has a larger amount (and variety) of fine dining, 4- to 5-star hotel properties, and aviation recruitment than the main career fair offers. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Toni:The library is large enough that during midterm and final exam season there are seats for everyone. There are multiple student unions, all of which offer free printing, ample seating, and community. The best part is you dont have to belong to a center group to use the facilities. Everyone is welcomed in each union! Describe the surrounding town. Toni:If youre looking for a traditional college town, thats not Pomona. The area is mostly industrial. Downtown Pomona is artsy with a great food scene and a couple of galleries. There is also a venue in downtown Pomona that some great acts have come through. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Toni:Its an average size. If youre looking to get lost in the crowd, this isnt it. The largest class is about 150 students (an introductory course), and the class sizes range from 30 students to 10 depending on the course. I loved the structure and size because I was able to develop relationships with people who were in every single class. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Toni:My most memorable moment was when I had a family member pass away right before finals, and my professors pushed my final exams back by a week to allow me to attend the funeral without worrying about missing class. I am so glad California State Polytechnic University, Pomona was my foundation. Check out Tonis tutoring profile.

Units

Units Units is defined as the standard of measurement for a quantity. There are different quantities that are used and measured such as time, length, area, volume, weight and many more. For example the units used for measuring time are, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. The units belonging to the same quantity can be further converted into each other. Such as one day has twenty four hours. I hours has sixty minutes and so on. Similarly weight has units such as pounds, kilograms and so on. Volume has units such as gallons, liters and so on. Length has units such as meters, centimeter and so on. Example 1: Divide 20 pounds and 16 ounces by 4? Solution: Given (20 pounds and 16 ounces) 4. Here divide both the pounds and ounces by 4. So 20 pounds divided by 4 = (20 4) pounds = 5 pounds. Similarly 16 ounces divided by 4 = (16 4) pounds = 4 ounces. Hence (20 pounds and 16 ounces) 4 = 5 pounds and 4 ounces. Answer is 5 pounds and 4 ounces Question: Multiple choice question (Pick the correct option.) How many pounds are there in 6 Kilograms? Hint: 1kg = 2.2 lb a) 6 b) 13.2 c) 12 d) None of these. Correct answer: option b. Explanation: Using the given conversion:1 Kg = 2.2 lb. Converting pounds to kilograms by multiplying. By multiplication: 6 Kilograms = 6 x 2.2 lb = 13.2 lb. Hence, this gives 6 kg = 13.2 lb.

3 Embarrassing Mistakes New Spanish Speakers Make [With Audio]

3 Embarrassing Mistakes New Spanish Speakers Make [With Audio] Suzy S. If youre shy about speaking Spanish, youre not alone. Even if you feel comfortable reading and writing it, speaking it can be nerve-wracking! Check out these tips from tutor Emmanuel N.  to learn how to pronounce Spanish words quickly and efficiently As youre learning Spanish, you may notice that reading it and writing it is often the easy part. Many people agree that speaking Spanish is the hard part. Wondering why that is? Usually it’s because learning how to pronounce Spanish words takes time. We’ve all heard the stereotypical American way of speaking Spanish, in which the language is utterly butchered: Fortunately, most Spanish learners do not speak this way. However, some Spanish learners still have trouble getting the accent and pronunciation correct. This is one reason why you might not like talking in Spanish â€" you might feel embarrassed. With that said, allow me to help you, my Spanish learners. Common Problems For Spanish Learners In my experience, most Spanish learners have difficulty with the different sounds that Spanish words ask of them. Below are the most common problems: 1) Putting emphasis on the wrong syllable on a word with an accent mark, e.g. “obstáculo,” which means “obstacle.” People can sometimes mispronounce it like this: when the correct way is this: 2) Not putting enough force on the beginning of a word, e.g.  â€œel gato” which means “the cat.” People sometimes say the word like this: when it really should be said like this: 3) Failing to pronounce words with “r’s” and “rr’s” correctly, e.g.  â€œes caro” and “el carro, which means “it’s cheap” and “the car” respectively. People sometimes pronounce both words like this: or both words like this: When the correct way is this: Spanish relies heavily on pronunciation, so if you don’t pronounce words correctly, it becomes extremely difficult for others to understand you! Thats why I recommend trying to mimic the sounds that Spanish speakers make as you learn. I, for one, never spoke Spanish despite knowing it growing up. I never had the accent Latinos had because I spoke only English for school. But then I practiced for years with my family, cousins, and friends, and though I do not have the perfect Latino accent, I am able to pronounce words correctly and be understood by anyone. Tips For How to Pronounce Spanish Words Remembering how to pronounce Spanish words can be tricky if you’re not Latino or if you didn’t grow up in a household where people spoke Spanish on a daily basis. If you were never exposed to the accent and the proper way of speaking the language, then you naturally use your natural tongue (i.e. your own accent from your language) to speak Spanish â€" hence the Spanish we all know of when we think of a stereotypical American trying to speak it. Here are some tips for learning to speak Spanish properly: Watch TV shows and movies either in Spanish or translate them in Spanish (i.e. SAP). By listening to Spanish speakers, youll hear how the words are meant to be spoken. Keep in mind, though, that dialects do exist in all Spanish-speaking countries, so the words might sound different depending on what show or movie you’re watching. Listen to and sing along to Spanish songs. Some Spanish songs have words that are sung slower than they are normally spoken, thus making it easier for Spanish learners to hear how they are pronounced. Singing along helps more than just listening because you are practicing the words and sounding (singing) them out like the singer. Ask your Spanish-speaking friends to help you. Ask them to have conversations with you. Ask them to read Spanish words and sentences out loud for you, slowly if need be. Also, try speaking in front of them and ask for feedback to find out where you are having trouble. Keep your Spanish lessons consistent, and ask your tutor for extra homework if youre struggling! Learning any language is hard as it is, but being able to speak it and pronounce words correctly can be a whole different challenge. But like with everything, practice makes perfect!

Do Online Voice Lessons Work The Surprising Truth

Do Online Voice Lessons Work The Surprising Truth Suzy S. Do online singing lessons actually work? Take it from our teacher Molly R., who teaches singing lessons in Hayward, CA. Read on as she explains the benefits, and how online lessons can work for you! Two Crucial Benefits of Online Lessons I’ve been teaching online voice lessons via Skype and FaceTime for a year now. Before I started, I had the same questions anyone else would have: How does this work? Will my students get as much out of these lessons as they do at in-person lessons? I’m here to tell you that online lessons work beautifully and absolutely YES students get every bit as much out of online lessons that they do traditional lessons…if not even more! First of all, let’s talk convenience. We’re all super busy these days. Always on the go, and somewhat overscheduled! With online voice lessons, my students are able to sing with me anywhere there is a good Internet connection, including hotel rooms when they are traveling. Even if my student is more local, sometimes they just don’t feel like dealing with traffic, parking, weather, or even leaving their comfortable pajamas.  And I don’t have to worry about making sure my bathroom is sparkling clean! Online voice lessons have allowed me to teach students from all over the world.  Internationally, I’ve taught students in India, Italy, Mexico, and the Philippines.  I’m in the Bay Area of California, but my time zone has allowed me to teach lessons to students all over the United States as well, including as far away as Maryland, Texas, and Illinois. With the improvements that have been made in the quality of Skype and FaceTime and other platforms, it really does feel like you are in the same room together. I am able to detect tension, strain, breathiness, etc. every bit as effectively as I am with students taking in-person singing lessons. If a student is using an especially high-quality microphone, I can detect even more issues that need to be addressed. Technology is really something! What Do I Need for Online Voice Lessons? In addition to a reliable Internet connection and a microphone, all you need is a Skype or FaceTime account, depending on what your teacher uses). Skype is completely free. Lately, more and more teachers have been using Google Helpouts, as well (also free). When its time to sing, the student is the one who brings up the mp3 or YouTube video to sing along with on their end, as this is the way to avoid lag and both parties can hear it more effectively this way. There are so many other bells and whistles I am excited to try out. Screen sharing, for one.  And who knows what other improvements will be made in the near future, or what other platforms will be introduced that allow music instructors to reach out to students from all over? Which Is Right for Me?   There really is no right or wrong as to which medium a student chooses for their voice lessons. It’s entirely a matter of personal preference.  Some really value the personal feel of in-person lessons, but I can’t stress enough how it really does feel like both student and teacher are right there together. My online students have had the opportunity to meet my teaching assistants (my sassy cats!), too . And I get to meet more of their family (human and four-legged) when lessons are online. So, what are you waiting for? Try an online voice lesson out and you’ll see just how convenient, effective, and fun they are. Molly R. teaches online and in-person singing lessons in Hayward, CA.

Pronouncing ED endings in English Video and Exercise

Pronouncing ED endings in English Video and Exercise One of the mistakes that we see often with our students, especially with Brazilians and any Spanish speakers, is mispronunciation of English words that end in ED.

Now just remember the rules while speaking! I know it might be more difficult while speaking but if you take classes and continue practicing you will be fluent in no time!

How to improve your outreach and land more interviews

How to improve your outreach and land more interviews I’m Sara. I’m an Education Partnerships Executive here at Teach Away, which means that every day, I talk to leaders, administrators, and hiring managers at schools around the globe. My job is to help them improve their recruitment and hiring processes through a partnership with Teach Away. In my role - assisting schools and organizations, each with idiosyncratic challenges to overcome in their recruitment journeys - there are a few analogies for the solutionsI recommend (on a basic level, of course): You can’t catch a fish without a line in the water. The more lines in the water, the more fish you’re likely to catch. If you don’t fish where the fish are, you catch zilch. What I want to focus on today, though, is this one: Just because you can see a fish doesn’t mean you can catch it. Here’s a scenario I commonly encounter when working with schools: The school has set up a website to market their school (great!) They’re targeting teaching professionals by posting their vacancies on education-specific job boards (perfect!) Applications are flooding in! Great news, right? Not quite. There’s still another piece to the puzzle. Often, the candidates applying to these schools aren’t as responsive as the school would hope beyond the initial application. Highlighting this is the fact that the school’s application-to-interview ratio is nowhere near where it could be. The root of the problem lies in the outreach - not in the quantity or quality of the candidates involved. While conventional wisdom suggests that the more applicants you’re able to attract the better your chances of filling your vacancies, the real key to hiring amazing new employees is how you nurture applicants through the recruitment process. Let’s take a look at some best practices for applicant outreach and communication. 1. Timeliness is imperative Once you’ve received an application, the next step may be the most important of all. You need to reach out to your candidates to acknowledge their application, and you need to do it quickly. Our research shows that candidates who are contacted within 3 days of submitting a job application are 27% more likely to accept a job offer and are 22% less likely to drop out of the hiring process. To simplify this process on your end, try using an applicant tracking system or marketing automation software to automatically respond to new applicants. Pro tip: While contacting your candidates quickly is vital, timing is important as well. Consider your candidates’ timezones and other factors that might impact the best time to be in touch. 2. Make a good first impression Ah, time for another age-old adage: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”. As an international school leader, you are busy, but taking (or making) the time to build rapport and a create a relationship with prospective candidates starting with your very first contact is well worth the time and effort. While you may be trying to get through the recruitment process as quickly and painlessly as possible, a positive candidate experience is everything. As much as you’re evaluating candidates, they’re evaluating your school as a prospective employer as well. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot and lose out on a promising candidate due to a poor first impression. 3. Humanize the process Each individual in your recruitment pipeline has their own unique set of circumstances, whether they’re considering teaching abroad for the first time or working full time at another international school and considering a move. To provide the best experience, put yourself in the candidate’s shoes. Minor considerations to accommodate candidates - being flexible around interview timing, choosing convenient methods of communication, or being understanding of existing obligations - will go a long way towards creating a positive predilection toward your school. 4. Sell your school Your job of selling your school doesn’t end when a candidate clicks submit on their application; you need to continue selling your school throughout the duration of the recruitment process. Every touchpoint with a candidate is an opportunity to keep candidates engaged, build excitement about working at your school, and further convince them that your school is the right fit for them. Perhaps you can share video highlights from the school year when you reach out to schedule an interview, or follow up with interviewees using a virtual campus tour to show off your facilities. To really allow candidates to get a good feel for your school, consider conducting interviews with current staff to share what life is really like at your school. 5. Provide a 360 ° view of your opportunity An important consideration when recruiting international educators is that what matters to one person may not matter to another, and what’s important to you may not resonate with your candidates. The image below shows the most in-demand job benefits, in order, among candidates for your teaching vacancies: To combat this, be sure to provide candidates with a well-rounded description of what life is like at your school and the benefits and opportunities available to them. It’s unrealistic to think you’ll be able to tailor your pitch to each individual candidate so you’ll want to consider the multitude of factors that matter to international educators and address them as best you can. You don’t want to miss out on a great candidate who’s looking for growth in their next role because you neglected to mention the robust professional development calendar at your school. 6. The devil is in the details Teach Away candidates, on average, submit more than five job applications to teach abroad per year, often within the same month. This means that, right off the bat you’ve got 4+ competitors vying for the services of the same teacher you are. With that in mind, think about these questions: Are you going above and beyond to woo your candidates? If not, do you like your chances? Are there things your competitors may be doing that you’re not? Are there things you could be doing that would set you apart? Aim to surprise and delight your candidates. Any edge you can give yourself helps - it could make the difference between a top teacher choosing your school over the one down the road. Just going through the motions won’t translate to success in your recruitment efforts. But by being thoughtful and purposeful with your outreach you have an opportunity to make a positive first impression, build a relationship with prospective candidates, and reinforce why your school should be your candidates’ first choice. Don’t let your efforts in attracting applicants go to waste. They’ve already taken the bait; set the hook and reel in a big one!

Save Them from Extinction! What Endangered Languages Are and Why You Should Learn Them

Save Them from Extinction! What Endangered Languages Are and Why You Should Learn Them Across the world, theyre dying out at a rapid rate.Many that remain are on the brink of extinction.No, we arent talking about the worlds diverse and threatened flora and fauna. Were talking about languages.And while you might not be able to preserve the leopard population from the comfort of your couch, you can personally take action to stop endangered languages from going extinct!The Washington Post  estimates that there are over 7,000 languages in the world. However, nearly two-thirds of the worlds population speak just 12 common languages as a native language. This means the vast majority of the worlds languages are actually  obscure languages  that youve probably never heard of.In previous eras, if you didnt know a native speaker, youd be hard pressed to learn a language. Thankfully, you can now  learn a language at home  through  language learning websites, giving endangered languages the best chance they have at survival.  Language learning apps can also do a lotâ€"they can eve n help you learn a language on the brink of deathâ€"and theyve become remarkably popular for preserving the worlds dying languages.The most comprehensive source for information on endangered languages is  UNESCO Atlas of the Worlds Languages in Danger, which allows you to search by region, threat level and even number of speakers.But first, lets learn more about what endangered languages are, including why they are endangered. Then well look at why you should learn them in addition to more common languages, as well as where you can learn them. What Are Endangered Languages?An endangered language is a language that is at risk of no longer being used. As native speakers die out and no new native speakers develop, a language can ultimately die out.Why Are Languages Becoming Endangered?Globalization  is a major contributing factor to languages becoming endangered. Since business is done on a larger scale, regional languages are no longer as useful and are therefore fading from popular ity.Dominance of more prevalent languages in education  is another factor thats closely related to globalization. Because language is a means for communication, many schools no longer teach local languages since theyre perceived as being less useful than more common languages.Why Learn an Endangered Language in Addition to a More Common Language?To understand culture in more depthLearning an endangered language in addition to a more common language can help you connect with more specific demographics and improve your understanding of the diverse cultures of a region.For instance, if youre learning Spanish, you might also want to learn an endangered Latin American language specific to the country youre most interested in. This will allow you to communicate with groups you might not otherwise interact with.Cultural preservationWith many languages vanishing, an important part of cultural heritage also vanishes. Stories, songs and even group identities disappear. The World Economic Foru m reports that in many countries surveyed, most people felt that language was the most important part of national identity. So it goes without saying that language is an important part of identity for smaller regional groups, too.The BBC also notes that languages actually convey culture. For instance, the Cherokee language has no words for goodbye or Im sorry, but it does have a special word for the feeling you get when you see an adorable kitten or baby. Language differences like this both reflect and shape culture, and without them, an important part of culture vanishes.Endangered languages are uniqueA lot of people learn common languages, but speaking an endangered language in addition to more common languages will help set you apart. For instance, a lot of people around the world learn French as a second language. That makes sense since its widely used in international contexts. However, France is home to 26 other languages that vary from vulnerable to severely endangered. If yo u enrich your French education by adding Provençal, for instance, youll put yourself in the company of what Ethnologue estimated in 1990 as just 354,400 speakers.Its easier to learn additional languagesIf you are already learning or already speak additional languages, learning endangered languages will be easier than if you speak only your native language. Psychology Today suggests that speaking a second language will help you learn a third language by providing you with learning strategies and helping you see linguistic similarities between languages.Learning an additional language could help you better understand other languages you speakParticularly if you select a minority language from a country whose dominant language you speak, theres a strong chance that that minority language has shaped and been shaped by the dominant language. For instance, the endangered language Yiddish has close ties to the German language. As you study Yiddish, youre likely to also gain more insight i nto the German language.Success StoriesWhile there are plenty of sorrowful stories about languages dying never to return, there are also a number of success stories. Through determination and dedication, dying languages can be brought back from the brink of extinction or even revived from the dead. Here are a few major success stories.HebrewEvidence suggests that the Hebrew language started in the 10th century BC. It transitioned to different forms of Hebrew before dying out as a native spoken language around the 4th century. However, Hebrew continued to be used in religious writing. In the late 19th and early 20th century, though, there was a movement to revive the language. Since then, Hebrew has flourished and is now spoken by over nine million people.HawaiianIn the late 1700s, the Hawaiian language took a hard hit when Europeans arrived to the islands. The language was looked down upon and even prohibited in schools in some cases. By the early 1980s, Hawaiian was on the fast tra ck to extinction, with just a few hundred speakers left. However, a few Hawaiian educators took it upon themselves to save the language. In 1984, they opened the first Hawaiian language immersion preschool. Since then, more schools have opened and the language has continued to spread. Now, there are thought to be approximately 24,000 fluent Hawaiian speakers.CornishThe Cornish language is native to the Cornwall region of England. Its thought to have developed during the British Iron Age and Roman Period. However, in the 4th and 5th centuries, it started to decline. The decline accelerated during the 13th century. The long, slow death ended when the last known speaker died in 1891. A revival movement started not long after. Boards and councils promoted the language, while books about Cornish fueled the rebirth. As of 2008, an estimated 2,000 people were fluent in Cornish and the count is thought to be rising.ManxDescended from Old Irish, Manx appeared sometime around the 4th century on the Isle of Man, an island located between England and Ireland. As England influenced the island more and more starting in the 15th century, the language started to fade. In 1974, the last known native speaker of the language died. Attempts to save the language had started in the late 1800s when a scholarly revival emerged. However, one man, Brian Stowell, is personally credited with reviving the language through his work studying the language and making recordings of native speakers before the language died out. Schools on the Isle of Man now teach Manx as a second language. In 2011, over 1,800 Isle of Man residents claimed to have some knowledge of Manx. Take Brian Stowells example to heart!Where to Learn an Endangered LanguageThe Endangered Languages ProjectThe Endangered Languages Project offers thousands of free resources to strengthen endangered languages. Resources include learning materials like videos and word lists to help you learn endangered languages like Breton (spo ken in France), Navajo and countless others.Mango LanguagesMango Languages offers online language education for a wide variety of languages. In an attempt to preserve endangered languages, it offers free courses in five endangered ones: Cherokee, Scottish Gaelic, Yiddish, Tuvan (spoken in central Russia) and Dzongkha (spoken in Bhutan).MemriseMemrise offers a wide selection of language courses. While lessons in common languages are more abundant, there are some useful lessons in endangered languages, as well. The easiest way to find them is by searching endangered in the search bar. For endangered language fans, the selection includes Chicasaw, Kristang (spoken in Malyasia and Singapore),  Uchinaaguchi (spoken in Japan) and more.App StoresApps have become a popular way to promote endangered languages.For Example, the  Dixza Talking Dictionary  will help you learn this endangered language from Oaxaca, Mexico. If you speak Russian and want to learn the endangered Evenki language of Ru ssia, you might try the  ?????  (Evdik) app.There are a lot of similar apps out there, so if you find an endangered language you want to learn, be sure to search your favorite app store.There are over 7,000 languages in the world, but that number is plummeting. If you choose to learn an endangered language along with a more common one, you can help save a valuable piece of world culture and history.
